Random Demotion

spork542 · 07-05-07, 11:31 AM

My new commanders always seem to have to endure at least one patrol of being LtZS. I find this to be quite unrealistic, as I often have a 25000+ ton patrol and my commander is still a nub. I try to compensate for this by doing a little shakedown cruise, but when I reload the game the commander's demoted to LtZS.

This has annoyed me from the game's release. What is the meaning of this?!

I guess you weren't meant to be a Commander........

spork542 · 07-05-07, 12:30 PM

I guess not. :rotfl::rotfl:

The funniest example: Sinking 230k in 4 patrols (Unrealistic, I know). I was promoted to ObLT then demoted back to Leutnant ZS. So this commander had Oak Leaves but was only a Leutnant ZS. Odd, no? :hmm:

I believe this is covered in a couple more threads but as I recall, if you fall below a certain renown number, you are demoted...

Yes promotions are based on the amount of renoun you have so, if you get a promotion and then buy a upgrade for your u-boat, and fall below the required renoun amount for that promotion, you are demoted back to the previous rank.

It's covered in a *lot* more than just a couple of threads.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick one- I love Commander what a cool add-on! The new crew management is just great. However I have a problem- I noticed that my career file also keeps being demoted to Lt Jnr (I should be Lt Snr). I the only mods I have installed are the Ail wake mod, the Ail sky mod, Ail particles mod, CA instrument mod and Merchant skins pack. I only installed those few mods because I want to avoid conflicts (and possibly rendering the game useless). I also used the Generic Mod Enabler to install these mods. I wonder why then i'm being demoted. :hmm: My renown is around 6,600-6,700, I have not spent up big and I dont thing the mods mentioned above should be conflicting with Commander. ( they dont effect career rank do they??) I burst out laughing cause i'm ordering around crew and issuing medals to them who are a higher rank than me (2 Lt Snrs on board lol) Talk about insubordination!:rotfl:
What can I do to fix the issue comrades?? Text editor? Plz Help I LOVE this game.....
