In AOTD, you would be awarded a new submarine (as an option) depending on your performance , this I believe was more realistic..
It's been too long since I played AOTD (loved that game in its time though) so I can't remember exactly how that worked. However, since renown in SH3 is basically awarded based on longevity (in terms of patrols completed -survival being at least some measure of success) and sinkings (the ultimate measure of performance), I don't see why SH3 renown would be viewed as any less realistic than being "awarded a new submarine (as an option) depending on your performance".

Well, this little thing from AOTD was an interesting touch, you could visit this club when u were in port, and get an outlook on the war. Events such as Prien's foray into Scapa flow would be discussed , it'd help you to know Germany's situation atleast. (try visiting the club in 1943-44 and you'll see everyone in a really morbid mood).

Maybe there should be something like this in GWX?? If at all that's possible, or maybe I'm just asking too much.
The officer's club feature of SH3 Commander does a pretty good job of this - I'm sure it could be beefed up with the addition of more extensive/in-depth content, but it's been a welcome addition and is just one more cool feature of this "must-have" add-on.
