It's raining medals â€“ using NYGM TW and SH3 Cmdr

Ahoi fellow Kaleuns!

Finished my second patrol using NYGM Tonnage War and it was a lot of fun.
It was my most succsesfull patrol ever sinking a total of 60k grt including 2 T3 and 1 BB Nelson type.

When I docked at home I was quite surprised to be achieved with an awful bunch of medals. Not only both iron crosses but the knights cross, and again the knights cross with oak leaves and again now with swords. All for one patrol?

Take a look:

And there is something wrong regarding renown ("Ansehen" in german): Now its 39,330.00 - it should equal grt sunk so something llike 60,000. I read the readme of NYGM TW and did the stated copy-paste modification in the cfg files when using SH3 Commander.

Whats wrong here?
I should never have gotten this many medals (knights cross would be ok...) and why is renown not same as sunken tonnage?

Ideas welcome!

Well, Prien got EK1, RK and oak leaves for sinking Royal Oak.

I guess a Nelson class BB is worth that much more.

I've found when sinking purely merchants with WTM 1.03 that that my 'career tonnage' is ~ my sunk tons, but not exact.

Not sure why that is. Might be a 'renown' modifier since I've been playing with a custom GameSettings or whatever. My actual difficulity is still 100, though, I think.
