BDU might order you to another zone, or to another type of mission. It's too bad they didn't implement "weather boat," espionage, rescue & recovery, etc., types of missions.

I have just installed the NYGM mod and have been playing around with it. I have to agree with the above post - when you remove reknown, what incentive left is there to a) patrol your assigned grid area and b) keep playing when you aren't rewarded for tonnage (aside from a few medals)? You can upgrade your sub or sub parts for virtually no penalty at all.
No disrespect to all those who have put hard work into this. It's an interesting concept and seems very popular.
Maybe i'm just a reknown junky but the prospect having to sink ships so I can go on to bigger and better equipped subs is what gives me the incentive to keep putting out to sea time and time again. |
I'm on my 16th Patrol with GW + NYGM + UC, and Renown has become a non-issue for me. I just plan my operations around the assigned Patrol Grid. I'm in a IXC now, so my assigned grid is usually in the "New World" or Africa. If I run into a particularly juicy convoy on the way, and expend most of my torpedos, I just adjust accordingly. I may never make it to my assigned grid. To me, this is pretty accurate historically. You aren't "penalized" for not going to your assiged grid, if the situation dictates otherwise.
