Renown in GWX

[Jimbuna]

At 50% realism it sounds about right.

For this i recieved 120 Reknown, is this normal? At this rate itll take me years to buy a new sub, or better equipment.

The bigger the realism , the more renown you win.

If you had played at 100% you would have won 240 for the same sinkings.

ya I think its a combitination of the developers being lazy and not thinking of it. One thing I think might be intresting is having a minelayer type boat, also maybe simulating stoping enemy shiping and checking their papers. Now if ubi released an SDK many realism bugs would be easy to fix but because they didnt... lol

[Jimbuna]

The release of the SDK now would break everything that has been modified to date...more than likely.

If the ships Cabaron sunk were worth a total of 240 in renown he should have been awarded 150 renown at 50% realism not a 120, assuming my maths are right of course.

I think it goes like this :
Realism 100% ---> renown 240 points
Realism 50% (cut in half) ---> renown 120 points (cut in half also)

Correct me if I am wrong.

Your Realism at 100% figure is right, but at realism settings below 100%, renown awarded is not equal to the realism setting i.e. 50% realism doesn't half what you would have got if you were playing at 100% realism. This is because you can play at 0% realism and still earn renown. At 0% if you sunk a ship worth 100 renown you would be awarded 25. I can't quite remember the maths behind this, I use a simple spreadsheet that works it out for me and thats how I concluded that for 240 worth of renown sunk at 50% you would get 150.

I didn't know that.
Thank you.

With apologies for ressurecting an old thread but can anyone tell me please if there is there a list available anywhere of renown points for GWX?

The Grey Wolves Expansion V3.0 Gold 102
Revisions to the Renown System

Stock Silent Hunter III allows players to earn ―renown‖ by sinking ships and accomplishing basic
mission goals like making it to your assigned patrol quadrant and remaining there for 24 hours, and
deducts renown for sinking neutral or Axis ships; players use their accumulated renown to ―purchase‖
new equipment, experienced crewmembers, and advanced torpedoes. This arrangement worked well
with stock Silent Hunter III, but it has proven fragile in GWX.


Initial Renown Points

Stock Silent Hunter III granted renown points for completing training missions, with a maximum of
1500 points prior to starting your first patrol. GWX gives you 1500 renown points to start your career
without having to take the training missions.


Renown Points for Reaching Patrol Areas

The Silent Hunter III game engine does not award renown to players who reach and remain in their
assigned patrol areas if those areas are outside the stock Silent Hunter III grid system. This meant that
players in Black Sea or Indian / Pacific Ocean patrol areas received no renown for meeting those
objectives although renown would have been awarded in the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea,

After long consideration, the GWX Team decided that GWX will award renown only for sinking enemy
ships and shooting down enemy aircraft, with penalties for sinking friendly or neutral ships and shooting
down friendly or neutral aircraft. This means GWX will no longer award renown for reaching and
patrolling your patrol area in fairness to players in the Black Sea and Indian Ocean, since some areas
received this award and some did not.


Renown Points for Returning to Base

Players are supposed to earn renown by returning to base, or at least within 20-30 kilometers of their
base, rather than ―teleporting‖ from mid-ocean via the <ESC> key menu; however, a bug in stock Silent
Hunter III prevents players from receiving this renown award. GWX removes the renown awarded for
returning to base since the bug prevented players from earning this renown in any case

From GWX Gold manual.

Is that what you're looking for?

EDIT: If you want to check renown for the different rosters, check your .cfg file for the ship in the /data/Sea/shipname/ directory.

Calculation is as follows for renown:

base ship renown value * (0.75 * realism %) + 0.25 .

You will find the renown for each vessel in the Sea folder of each.

[GJO]

Thank you Feuer Frei! and Jimbuna - I think I have that but I now need to work out what the codes mean - for example, although I can identify most of the named warships, I am struggling to work out which one is a Whale Factory ship or a Modern Tanker.

At the bottom of the Sea folder is a CFG entitled English Names....all the ships are listed there eg: NOTCW=Whale Factory Ship
