Transfer

[theatreblues]

I started off a career sailing from Constanza in a type IID. I have just transferred to the 10th flotilla at Penang but I am still sailing a IID instead of the uboats operated by 10th flotilla, can anyone offer any suggestions? also what is the best and fastest way to gain renown so I may be able to upgrade my uboat as I seem to be sinking ships(Not Neutral or Hospital) but my renown does not go up very much.Thanks.

1.- Complete the Academy training... it will give you extra 1000 of renown.
2.- Complete your 24 hours patrol on the designated grid.
3.- When done, if you still have torps, go somewhere else and sink more ships. The bigger the better.
4.- When you are returning to your base, sail all the way home, don't do ESC and "Return to Base", because there you are letting renown go away.

To gain a new boat you have to buy one in your base with your renown, you don't get a new one automatically! I recommend a IXC boat for East Asian operations, that needs 7,500 points of renown, plus some for the extras.

Or you could go into your career_0.cfg and alter renown to whatever you like,since its hardly realistic to ask you to pay for your own boat is it,personaly I don't think that an arcade element such as renown has any part belonging in a sim.My personal opinion of coursedump the renown to the bottom of your chosen sea and get what you need to fight the enemylord knows its hard enough as it is without having to save for an upgrade

Another way is to edit the basic.cfg file.
I have 5 point for Allies and 0 for neutrals, but of course I only sink neutrals when they are in a convoy.
Plus, if you edit your Flotilla.cfg file, you can also have any ammount of renown you want at the beginning of a career. I have mine set to 1000.
I hope this contributes a little.

Or, alternatively, reduce/remove the renown required for the u-boat you want.

For the Far East, you want an IXD2. You need the extra range.
