Renown, Promotion Points and other Rewards?

Cujo · 03-28-10, 02:37 PM

I have completed about 6 missions and have not quite figured out the upgrade system, however I have been awarded a new submarine.

The Manual mentions Renown, however I have not seen it anywhere in the game. Is the same as promotion Points which I have been distributing to my crew?

How do I upgrade Torpedo's, Flack Guns and Canons? IN previous SHx games you could upgrade your sub at the end of the mission.

Thanks in advance SH5 Gurus.

When you speak with the Dockmaster there you can ask him to upgrade things and will get a window where you can spend Renown.

Thanks, for some reason I have been missing the Dockmaster.

What does it take to earn a medal? I've sunk more than 200K tonnes including a battleship, and I don't even get the U-boat war badge. My crew, on the other hand, get Iron Crosses 2nd class.

By the way, shouldn't the U-boat war badge be awarded automatically after 3 patrols or so?

No idea how you get the medals since I'm never made aware that I was awarded a medal... I think I got my war badge around the 3rd patrol, but till I happened to be bored and find it in my medal case I had no idea i had it.

I as Captain have been awarded the Iron cross 2nd class after my first patrol(British Coastal waters.)

Now for just how im to award medals to my crew, I have yet no clue.

Well, today I found out by accident that you can award medals to your crew by clicking the small '+' in the bottom-right corner of their portraits. There was no tooltip at all, so I tried clicking on it and lo and behold, my soundman got a medal - ironically, the last person that deserves one!

I haven't yet figured out what the small black bar underneath their portrait is. It always says 0/100.

As for my own medals, I got the Iron Cross 2nd class after the tutorial mission, and the War Badge after my first proper patrol, despite the information text saying it was normally awarded after 3 patrols. I've received the Iron Cross twice, apparently - it says I was awarded it on 6th October and 22nd October 1939, after both my 2nd and 3rd patrols.

I am playing on 96% realism (I think - just external cam on), so probably get all the medals due to high renown. It seems a bit unrealistic in any case...?

It is in SH5 possible to receive the Knight´s cross with oak leaves, diamonds and swords?

I receive after 25 very successful patrols always only the Knight´s cross.
