Because I use this option always (maybe I misunderstood).
From what i Understand, there is no renown bonus for steering the boat back into base. From what i've read (and correct me here), it was never coded into the game-engine to account for it.

I usually sail back to a point where I'm in "friendly waters". Not sure if those really existed later in the war though... Then I'll port from there. I feel it's a waste time to sail back if nothing is going to happen.

That is correct, the renown for returning to base has never worked either in stock/vanilla or any supermod.

Default Sorry that i missunderstood ya'l

When i have a mission, i going to that grid, no matter how far it's, i sail on slow ahead(6 knots) on surface, it takes almost 4 hour game-play to finish..

When you reach that grid you will get points(reown), than another reown, for patroling the grid 24 hours...

when that is done, i go back to europe(close to england) if i have some fish left to use them all, than when have no fish, i return to base, yes it's manualy, i dont hit ESC button and click on finish game... than the whole 4 hours game-play and the reown are gone... offcourse im heading home to port.. to complete the mission, i will hit ESC when im at 20 miles to the base, to dock it...

According to wikipedia Type XIV boats could supply 400 tons of oil + torpedoes + food. manual says it only supplied oil.

If you believe wikipedia you shouldnt feel guilty if you got resupplied with torps after docking with one .

Default Not the whole trip surface

To reserve diesel, i dive when morning breaks(from red light) to no light, stay under water till red light comes up, then surface, to resharge batteries, till morning break. than repeat over and over.

later in war, you stay under water, unless you wanna shoot down liberators, and when snorkel is available you can charge batteries under water.
