Allright,:hmm: I wasn't aware of the multiplicator so this is what happened... Good, good, now I get a more clear view why shooting the Deutschland gave me a 150.000 + renown.

I will change the values back to positive numbers. However, the "NIL" values for some boats should not pose a problem. As I understand correctly:

(0*1)+(0*1)=0 This could mathematically not pose a problem, we are NOT dividing by zero here, so normally this should not CTD the game.

- Let me all explain to you why I chose some nil values in the first place:

IMO, shooting defenseless sailboats/junks is unsporty and something a respectable U-boat gentleman would not do. (This comes close to sinking hospital ships or lifeboats). So no renown for shooting an Allied schooner/sailship on its weekend trip.

Now as for the other values

Axis ships:

I don't think it would matter to BdU if you sank a common Soldati destroyer or the Bismarck, your career would be down the toilet anyways. So why bother giving different values to the Axis ships ?

RAF High Speed Sea Launch: This ship is armed, although it is a rescue ship, so could be a topic of discussion here. If you happen to cross one ingame, it will shoot at you, and redirect more heavy firepower on you, maybe a renown of "nil" or -100 is the right option here.
Corrected : I took a look in the eqp file: it's unarmed

And then remain some other values that I changed which won't make a difference since they are Allied anyway.

Two more questions I have for you ppl:

Does anyone know what the wrongshipsunk=-5000 means for sure ?
I guess it adds another -5000 to the score, but I could be wrong here, as I proved yesterday.

Is there a specific reason why the renown for Axis is -10 instead of -1 and then having a value of 1700 for the Bismarck instead of 17000 in that specific ship's config file ?
(does this have something to do with the fact if that particular BB should change sides ? like with italy) that you suddenly don't get 15000 renown for sinking the BB Roma when italy capitulates but only 1500 (1*1500) but get a -10*1500 for sinking her on the axis side ?
