I truly do hope you get this ironed out, Tessa. This seems like an excellent mod for those who want to attempt making rank above Kapitanleutnant.

I find it's a rather dubious choice that the devs decided you only got promoted according to the renown you've saved up ( instead of spending it on new u-boats and upgrades ) rather than the career total renown you've earned. I believe medals awarded are tied to this rule as well.

If rank earned was truly reflective of renown accrued, then sinking massive amounts if tonnage would surely lead to promotion. I've got over 280,000 tons to my credit, yet I'm still just an Obltn. z.S. while real-life "u-boat aces" made ranks of Korvettenkapitan and Fregattenkapitan with far less, albeit their task was far more difficult than our virtual careers.

I also hope Jaesen can be of help to you in making this work with SH3 Cmdr as smoothly as possible. I know I'd like a shot at Korvkpt. but not if it means throwing SH3 Cmdr out of kilter.

Keep at it, Tessa!
