A few questions concerning renown, realism settings and promotions

Hi there, I'm new tot he forums (2nd post). I guess I grabbed SH3 a year ago, after Gamespot wrote a pretty good review and gave it a good score. I've always been a sim fan (mostly Fighter sims and some realistic shooters) and a historry buff. I played vanilla SH3 for a long time but found it great, and I found the difficulty scaling incredible, it totally allowed me to get into the game.

I ended up dropping SH3 in favor of some other games (you can only play som many at a time) but just came back after I read up about GWX (which I must add, is one of the best, if not the best mod ever made for a game).

Now, I don't play SH3 at full realism because I'm not that fanatic for simulating the more tiring aspects of real WWII U-Boat combat (estimating range, speed, headingm etc.) and I really like the free-cam, even though it is a bit of a cheat. With my settings I get a realism rating of 54%. (Hey, I know some of you more "hardcore" subsimmers will think I'm a pussy, but flight sims are my thing. I prefer to be at 25k feet in my F-16., radar scanning out to 80 nm and AIM-120s under my wings).

Anyway, my questions:

- Do realism settings affect how much renown you earn? If so, are the penalties percentual or fixed?

- Are your Captain's promotions renown associated? If so, what are the different requirements for the different pay grades?

I'll be really glad if someone can give a thorough answer to those.
