You'd think, but I got bored with it.
A renown system only works if it's sane. SH3 failed to include a decent scoring system. You essentially get X for patrol, Y for return, and Z per ship sunk based on some difficulty modifier.
Boring.
You don't get special awards or renown for doing amazing things, like sinking difficult targets, hitting enemy harbors, sinking capital ships, performing special missions, and so on.
So it's mostly just a bore.
I much perfer being able to upgrade, after waiting the patrol shakedown time, to the latest stuff.
Renown tried to be both a scoring system and a way to represent obtaining favor with command to get newer toys. It tried to be both and failed at both.
At least tonnage is simply what it is. With TM it ought to be hard enough to score big that it actually means something to have sunk 30,000 tons before you're sunk after 12 months.
