Renown, medals, and a new boat

LeafsFan · 01-12-07, 07:21 AM

HI,

I have a basic question about the renown system. I currently am in the thrid patrol of a career in GWX in November 1940. I am driving U-122 an IXB boat. In the back of my mind I am thinking that sometime in 1941 I'd like to get an IXC for the increased range. I understand that will cost several thousand renown points.

IIRC the promotion and medal system also runs on renown. So my question is, "will spending most of my renown on a new boat slow down promotions and the awarding of medals?"

Another question, When I change boats will my crew come with me or will I have to start off with newbs again??

#1. No Renoun is for Subs and equipement. Does not affect Promotions or Medals as far as I know.

#2. Yes they come with you. That's if you do not have transfers checked in SHIII Cmdr, they will stay with you all thru your career. If you don't use SHIII Cmdr they will stay with you too.

One thing renown will effect is your rank, if you fall below a certain amount, you can be demoted to a lower rank. Promotions are based on the amount of renown you have in your bank.

The medals system in SH3 is a bit odd and full of bugs. Still it is hardcored (I think) so we have to live with it

Thanks Mel for the correction.

But here's what I based my reply on.....

On my first patrol in GWX I bagged The HMS Rodney, 3 Flower Corvettes and a Large Merchant. Total Renoun for that patrol was 1558.90 giving me a total of 2358.90. I started out with only 800 after getting the officers and crew I wanted from the 1500 original Renoun. I then docked with the Bessel at Vigo Spain for resupply and found when I restarted I was promoted from Lt. Jr to Lt. Sr. A far cry from accululating 5000 in Renoun. So if there's a bug, it seems renoun has no bearing on promotions. I've even seen the same in Vanilla SHIII as I received the Knights Cross with Diamonds and Swords on my 7th patrol. That's the reason I said what I did above.

i only scored around 150 renown because i bagged alot of neutrals in my patrol
(i dont really care if they are neutral or enemy, they are going down. and in some cases if i spot a german sloop i ram it)
