I'm not really sure why they deviated from the "upgrade model" they used in SH3? If you had the renown, you could get the new tower, if not, sorry charlie.
Just like in real life, the good skippers would get the perks. They're not gonna give the good stuff to some schlaub just because, they're going to give the decent boats and upgrades to those that perform, at least that's how I see the renown working. It's like a manual manipulation of the stars.
I'm not sure how I was given the Gato from my Tambor. It really couldn't have been more generic "A new boat is available, do you want it?" Wow, thanks for the specs. Hell, a frickin name would've even been nice. Something like "Because of your continued high service reports, we have seen fit to offer you a change of boat. The Gato-class submarine "SS-29 Drum" has just become available and we'd like to know if you'd skipper it?"
Jesus, how hard is that?
