For example, your renown level is "10,000" and your rank is "KptLt"... and the minimum renown to maintain your rank as KptLt is "9000".... if you spend 2000 renown points to buy a snorkel... you will be reduced in rank to ObLt because your new renown level is "8000."

(The above numbers are purely for example and are not actual for GWX.)

It sucks.

However, it is not related to the GWX mod... but the SH3 base game itself and is something we are stuck with... as alternatives were far less attractive to us during development.

So is there a set level somewhere? A chart, a graph, a scrap of paper? An old faded pdf that specs out the numbers for each rank level or is it random.

Oh god.. tell me its not in the manual...
