I have always patrolled the assigned sector because of this...I need all the points I can get and, so far, I've been able to bag tonnage on every patrol. There are many places on the map I've not been able to explore because of the patrol priority constraint. Think less of me for whatever reason you prefer...perhaps I don't play at the same realism level as this captain, I don't sink as much tonnage as that captain, I don't know as much about how to be a good captain as the other captain. Fact is, I enjoy the game and GWX 2.0 has made it the best yet, therefore I'll keep hammering away at it with all my shortcomings.

I wasn't taking a poke at you, spectre... not at all.
Part of our earlier discussion touched on the same points regarding 'incentive' to carry out patrol orders. The decision we arrived at was along the lines of "you don't get a medal simply for doing your job" is all.
Secondarily, the decision balances out with consideration to the new U-boat operational areas that reside outside the KM grid, that do not award renown for reaching patrol areas local to those regions. In this respect it is a matter of uniformity.
By all means, continue to play the game as you wish. What we are explaining relates to the mod itself... not some sort of 'dictate' for player choice.
Furthermore, it is a very easy fix to add back in if you don't agree with the decision. Heck, we'll even tell you how to do it when the time comes. I guess my humor was a bit dry.
