Retired after four patrols by SH3 Commander

I might just do that. I've never done it before, so I have no idea at which point in the war you next active duty status will be launched. As well, I see an option to continue career with a new commander. Will that allow me to retain the same crew but with a new Kaleun?

Know what? I think I'll just try the option to carry on with a new commander and see what happens.

Hmmm. That's not working out like I thought it would. When SH3 Commander retired my Kaleun, he was in command of a VIIB and had enough renown accumulated to take command of a IXB, but when I choose continue career with a new commander I do not have enough renown to continue with a VIIB. Am I doing something wrong?

For now I will simply begin a distinctly new career in time where my previous Kaleun retired.

I don't know. I've only ever unretired one kaleun, and he was in a Type II. I only did it because at that time Commander only based its decisions on number of patrols. Now it also includes days at sea, and maybe some other factors I don't know about.

The 'continue career with new comander' function is exactly that. You are keeping your old boat with an experienced crew and upgrades, but you lose the renown your old kaleun earned.

The new guy has to start from the bottom again.

You won't have enough renown with the new kaleun to buy a new boat, but I don't know why you didn't get the type VII you already had with your retired kaleun.

Never had that problem.

I'm still scratching my head over that one. I even tried editing the relevant files to give my new Kaleun the renown needed to get the VIIB, but no luck. First time I've ever had a renown edit not work.

Problem solved! My career is in a VIIB in second flotilla out of Wilhelmshaven. I had chosen second flotilla out of Kiel, thus being faced with a Type II. I am now outbound in my VII.

Also....at the end of your first patrol you'll be able to edit the DeltaRenown.
