I wish I have a time-machine...

If for some reason you use ESC to return to base, waste 100 renown by dismissing a crewman and hiring a replacement. He won't have the experience of your dismissed crewman, which is enough of a penalty.

If you're running GWX, you'll have to edit the values back into the config file:

[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=500
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=300 ; 200 + 100 for completed patrol

to focus to sink enemy unit, and have some renown for a patrol grid,as you now the could be for example a convoy in your way, so aim on cargo

Bringing back 30K to 70K tons IS concentrating on enemy shipping.

I figure if the BdU is going to order me to some grid that's inconvenient, empty, or spectacularly dangerous, I should be getting some reward for following orders. Otherwise, why not just ignore the BdU and hit the hot spots? Getting the reward for patrolling a target-rich grid is just icing on the cake.

Also, if my path to the patrol grid takes me through heavy traffic, there is good reason not to expend all my torpedos: I might need some in the patrol grid. Hanging around for 24 hours unable to attack isn't that much fun. I'll pass through the same heavy traffic area on the way back, and if I have any ammo left over, that's the time to use it.

"Ok guys, we've got one torpedo and 200 deck gun rounds left, and we're passing through an area known to be heavy in small coastal traffic. Let's hang around a bit and see what turns up."

And you know what's really bad? I almost never spend renown. It's just brownie points for promotion.

But even if you are just in the widely grid,is this behaviour are you "must not stay just there".You can go in other roughly direction and hunt,so after that you turn back and finish the entirely area,so you can be very distinguished in the hole mission,however upgrade to IXB so you have more eels,so you get more than peanuts...
