Renown for manually returning to base?

Paul Riley · 03-10-10, 10:10 AM

I apologize for asking what has probably been asked a thousand times now,but is there ANY benefit/bonus for bringing the UBoat back manually?,or is it ok to abort when satisfied you have done all you can in a patrol?,without being penalised I mean.

Thanks.

With 100% realism if you don't get within 25km of base before exiting you abandon your career. Sort of.

I believe the renown bonus for RTB was bugged in stock and wasn't fixed, so you can teleport without consequence, BUT, beyond a certain realism level (100% for sure) the teleport feature is disabled, only allowing you to abandon the career. I prefer having to return to base despite having no ammo left as sometimes you might get picked up by a destroyer, aircraft or convoy escorts and have to evade, just like I suspect they did in real life.

For me, the game doesn't end when I run out of weapons to fire. How you play is up to you.

If you manually bring it right back to the dock where you left from. You'll get a severe renown penalty, sentenced the "overdo divergence" punishment. All renown earned that patrol will be lost. The developers never did it, and no one else should either.

Done it twice... got to be a bug.

Sorry,now i'm just confused.You get penalised for bringing it back as well as aborting mid sea?

I also play at 92% realism.

Stuff it,i'll bring it back manually and park it in the nearest disabled bay.

Paul....the renown for returning to base has NEVER worked, not only in GWX but also the stock/vanilla game.

Was it the first patrol of a career? There is a bug in the game where if you modify the sub, before the first patrol renown for sunken ships isn't calculated.

So, if that's the case, you were punished long before the patrol began.

If anyone feels cheated by the loss of renown they can simply calculate what the amount was and put it back in via the DeltaRenown method.

I think there are two bugs.

First one is the patrol date start. If you want to do modifications to your sub, you must do them just before starting a patrol or the starting date of patrol will not be calculated properly. Always do sub changes before going to a new patrol then.

The second bug I don't recall exactly. I think it is related to the first patrol. You must not do any change to the sub before going on first patrol. You go first patrol, come back. If you do any changes before going to first patrol I think you get 0 renown even if you sink ships.

Don't touch your sub before 2nd patrol. Only do changes before going on a patrol. not after.

Are you sure? Never heard that before...I had a bug twice when returning my career first patrol results weren't registered by the game and this is known bug (they did registered after i reloaded saved game and did re-dock) but now i have been manually docked several times, right in the pen just where i started, and got no any penalty.

Maybe you got some other bug? Maybe this same one that i had twice?

I thought that the docking was the reason, because it happened the two times out of two I did it. If it works for you, I guess I'm wrong.

The patrol isn't over until I can hear the band welcoming my boat back!

I just get bored puttering across the open ocean. The thing I'm mostly interested in is the action.

Plus my game-playing time is so precious I don't want to waste it.
