NOTES:
*You ALWAYS start as an Lt, even if you set yourself 1,000,000 renown.
*If you use GW/NYGM/RUb you can expect promotion after your first patrol, assuming you haven't spent all of your renown in the meantime (refer RankLevel1 value). Unlike most other corrections for historical accuracy, this one actually works in the player's favour!

The highest rank awarded by SH3 appears to be KptLt. I have never seen the rank of KK awarded even though there is an associated RankLevel3 setting. And I can guarantee that the game does NOT promote any higher (the next rank is actually FrgKpt, not Kpt as some believe).

Another clarification...
It is quite historically correct for your LI to be a higher rank than you. It did happen. As I have posted elsewhere, the Engineer stream of officer was different than the Line stream. In the event of a dead Kaleun, it was the IWO - ie the next highest Line officer - that took over command, even if he was subordinate to the LI.

Of course, it would not be appropriate for your IWO, IIWO etc to be higher in rank than you.

Note that the SH3Cmdr Realistic Crew option and the default RUb crews mimick this acceptable situation.

I use GW and SH3 Commander, have gathered about 3000 renown but still was not promoted to Oberleutnant.:hmm: (I do not spend renown, so a that can't be the reason.)
