Been Busy at sea. This is very impressive that the people of GWX did such an awesome job on this. To be a historian and have the opportunity to experiance such realism,... it's fabulous. Anyway, why do my men like to take on split personalities, literally, when I surface. I sunk two English ships and when I went back to port had -120 Renown. I do not understand,......Yet.

Did you begin your career in August 1939? If so, you may have sunk neutral vessels instead of enemy ones. The war will not start until Germany invades Poland on Sept 1, and Germany will not be at war with England until two days later on Sept 3. If you sank British ships prior to Sept 3 1939 they would not have been considered enemy vessels, but neutral ones. And unless you've edited the player renown settings in your game, you will lose renown for sinking neutral ships.

If the sinkings occurred after Sept 3 1939 and you still lost renown, it's possible that you mistook some neutral or friendly nation's flag for the British ensign. Mistakes happen, just like in real life. GWX removes the color-coding for friendly/enemy/neutral and IDing ships by flag and outline alone can be very tricky!

Another noob Q:

Did most of a career in stock, but now in GWX, I can't even operate at night due to how dark it is. Yes, I know its night, and it supposed to be dark, but it's still a game. Is there a way to brighten it up a bit at night? I mean my exterior camera is literally pitch black.

Possibly a gamma adjustment in your graphic card's control panel?

I used to complain that my nights were much too bright, but assumed it was because of my old CRT monitor. Now I have an LCD flatscreen, and it's still a little too bright at night.

So I'm not sure what the problem is with yours, and the above was the only thing I could think of.

You can add the colours and tails (shows direction of travel) with this if you prefer to have them:

If you've got a nVidia card I think Shift+Page Up / Page Down adjusts the AA, and as a consequence of this it can brighten or darken your night.

This is possible, but I was pretty sure it was an English ship. It was after the correct date of course. I was in English waters for awhile B4 I found a target. The GWX version is more challenging to me than the Vanilla, I played. I thought maybe it had something to do with my having to many crew members. As I had said my men kinda split like worms and populated my boat with more men. This happens when I surface.

Stop feeding them and their numbers will slowly shrink!
