Here's how I have mine set.

[RealismPercentage]
LimitedBatteriesRealismPercentage=10
LimitedCompressedAirRealismPercentage=10
LimitedO2RealismPercentage=10
LimitedFuelRealismPercentage=10
RealisticVulnerabilityRealismPercentage=10
RealisticRepairTimeRealismPercentage=10
RealisticShipSinkingTimeRealismPercentage=9
ManualTargetingSystemRealismPercentage=0
NoMapUpdateRealismPercentage=0
RealisticSensorsRealismPercentage=10
DudTorpedoesRealismPercentage=10
RealisticReloadRealismPercentage=10
NoEventCameraRealismPercentage=0
NoExternalViewRealismPercentage=0
NoStabilizeViewRealismPercentage=0
NoNoiseMeterRealismPercentage=0
NoWeaponOfficerAssistRealismPercentage=0

One note: I'm an odd duck. I set it that way because I play realistically in other areas http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=168479 .

So while I edit my renown to get the max, I pretty much never use it. I always get bottom-of-the-barrel unqualified crew. Replacement crew come through SH3 Commander, so it doesn't matter one way or the other. The only equipment upgrade I've ever bought was the rotating hydrophone setup, and only because at a certain point they all had it.

Why all the hard work?

Simply change two and the job is done much quicker and if you really want to cheat it won't matter what you've got enabled or otherwise

[RealismPercentage]
LimitedBatteriesRealismPercentage=99
LimitedCompressedAirRealismPercentage=0
LimitedO2RealismPercentage=0
LimitedFuelRealismPercentage=0
RealisticVulnerabilityRealismPercentage=0
RealisticRepairTimeRealismPercentage=0
RealisticShipSinkingTimeRealismPercentage=0

NoStabilizeViewRealismPercentage=0
NoNoiseMeterRealismPercentage=0
NoWeaponOfficerAssistRealismPercentage=1

This way you have a choice of 99>100%
