FOTRSU has introduced so many new units, so the modders must have a system in mind to set renown points, because the added setting files are new ones, so they can tell for sure what they did, and if yes or no they did change the stock units. For other mods like TMO you would have to compare the files with the stock game files (e.g. with the free tool WinMerge).

I think that the renown from individual ships has been made secondary to completing missions in FotRSU. Negative renown is very high for sinking Red Cross and hospital ships but for a number of ships there can be found two varieties where one offers more renown than the other despite no more difficulty in sinking one than the other or any more prestige based on the ship type.



I've been working up a wiki for Silent Hunter 4 and have included a table of Axis warships and one for merchants where you'll see that that's the case. Both have tables that can be sorted on renown. (I'm also working on setting up the Allied Warships table but haven't gotten that far yet.)

Axis Warships https://silenthunter.fandom.com/wiki...#Axis_Warships


BTW... if you see anything else that should be in the wiki that isn't, any credits due for anything that is, or want to make any other comments anyone can edit the wiki at this point. If you're not comfortable with wiki edits you can add comments to the TALK page or PM me and I'll see what I can do to get your ideas incorporated.
