I think you may be right.

I think you can modify the renown values for bigger boats. Changing the type IX to 500 renown points, for example. Then you could "buy" a bigger boat, if you wish to.

This is how :
Go to the basic.cfg file
Open with note pad
Find the Uboot you like - here IXB

[SUBMARINE_AMMO6];IXB
Type=2
Version=0
ForeTubes=4
AftTubes=2
ForeResIntern=4
ForeResExtern=5
ForeResExtra=2
AftResIntern=2
AftResExtern=3
ShellSlots=12
NbYears=7
Renown=7
Year0=1939
ForeTube00=0 ;T1
ForeTube01=0
ForeTube02=0

Z01_00=9 ; IX/1
M01_00=0
A01_00=8
S01_00=4
SuperCharger_00=1261; GWX V2.1: was -1, so this boat now has MAN turbos by default
Snorkel_00=-1
Batteries_00=1268
AftBatteries_00=1268
Hydrophone_00=1270
Sonar_00=-1
Radar_00=-1
RadarWarningReceiver_00=-1
Decoy_Launcher_00=-1
SonarCoatings_00=-1
RadarCoatings_00=-1
Renown0=0
SNK_MASK=NSS_Uboattype9_SNK_mask

Year1=1940
ForeTube10=0 ;T1
ForeTube11=0
ForeTube12=0
ForeTube13=0
ForeResIntern10=0
ForeResIntern11=0
ForeResIntern12=0

AftBatteries_10=1268
Hydrophone_10=1270
Sonar_10=-1
Radar_10=-1
RadarWarningReceiver_10=-1
Decoy_Launcher_10=-1
SonarCoatings_10=-1
RadarCoatings_10=-1
Renown1=0 <-- Change this line

Now you can get the IXB in 1940 for 0 renown

Do the same for every sub and year you like.

Save and enjoy

If you are using SH3Commander copy the changed basic.cfg file to
\SH3 Commander\!BACKUP\data\Cfg

The last step is important for SH3 Commander to recongnize the changes.
I have learned this the hard way.

One good way is to simply award yourself the extra renown to buy larger sub.

Go to data\cfg\Careers\commanders name\ folder and open notepad file Patrols_0 and change DeltaRenown= to prefferred value of renown needed.

Thanks both of you,really appreciate that

The obvious (apparently not) and far easier method.

Can this be done mid-patrol with no problems?,or should it be set after the patrol?

I never tried it during patrol. Always on port and SHCmdr rolled back as with all other tweaking.

At patrols end or you will corrupt your career/patrol file.
