Questions about GWX3.

derrinurban · 08-19-09, 11:20 AM

Wanted to say hello and intoduce myself and ask a couple of questions about GWX3.

I started the game and only received 1000 renown. I read in the manual it was supposed to be 1500.

Just wondered if anyone else started in Konigsberg and made the mistake of sinking the ships they tell you to in the briefing? I think that this is something that should be fixed. I do not think it is fair that they tell you to sink them and then penalize/give you -renown for doing so.

I realized after they were British (neutral at the time) ships. During the mission I thought they were target ships as stated in the briefing. Target ships to me means decomissioned ships used for target practice, not ships from another country that you can shoot at at your own peril.

Why isn't the briefing like it is for the 1st and 2nd Flotilla. Go out, cruise around for a couple of days, return to port.

As a newb, if the briefing says go sink this ship, that is what I will do. I am after all a mere Kaleun. Who am I to question BdU.

Any way, love the game, love the forum, looove GWX. Hope to be regular here.

Oh, c´mon. The BdU guys just put a little prank on you, dont be so bitter about it, they try it with all new Kaleuns.

With all the hype about SH5 and the GWX team working on GWX4 it might be awhile before you get a straight answer.

Hang in there and enjoy.

Btw There is a simple way to change Renown.

WELCOME ABOARD!

And I had nothing to do with GWX3, but I can give some straight answers.

Did you do any of the Naval Academy? In the stock game you need to complete all of the courses to receive the full 1500. In GWX you only need to complete the first (Navigation) course and you will get the 1500. This is good as they made the AA course well nigh impossible. As an alternative you can give yourself any renown you want by editing the Basic.cfg file (I think - I'm usually wrong when I go on memory like this). Another alternative is what I do, which is never buy any upgrades at all. Not a course I recommend to everyone.

They do give you extra renown for the 7th Flotilla start, so you end up with the same amount (or don't sink the ships and end up with even more - it's either 2000 or 2500).

Don't know. I think it's silly too. The manual might say, but I'm not in a position to look at the moment. Did you by chance RTFM?

Welcome aboard derrinurban

After your first patrol go to (my example):

C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\My Documents\GW3\data\cfg\Careers\Konrad Hähnel

Open up the Patrol_0 CFG and change the DeltaRenown figure near the bottom to a value of your choosing.

After reading the GWX3.0 Gold manual, I saw that there are no more renown given for any tutorial (Naval Academy). The way I read that is not even for the first one (Navigation).
Did I miss something?

For the AA (FLak gun training) yes that is extremely hard.
In a mission I would presume that we would dive all the time against air threat. I am wondering when we will be using our guns (unless we cannot dive or we got taken by surprise).

Is any of you would be using the manual for this? I think I would let my crew handling that all the time.

Thank you for the info.
