Am I cheating

[TabbyHunter]

I've searched in notepad, and there is no delta renown....the third from the bottom is sonar. Career_0....right? Because in that, none of the three patrol logs have any of the ships i sunk, and i know i sank the renown class battleship in scapa flow on october....7th...ish. That does, however, show up in just Career cgf.

The delta renown is at the bottom of the Patrol_0 file.

Hmmm.
If you don't want to cheat, but can't be bothered with rotating the crew, which is understandable, why not:

1. Turn off Fatigue.

2. Use only the 4 basic "officers", at the 4 stations that require them.
No officers in the torpedo compartments, engine rooms, or damage control, ever.

3. No promotions or medals for officers (Front Clasp & War Badge are OK, after all POs have them).

4. PO promotions are limited to a maximum of 1 per patrol, after a minumum of 1 seaman has been promoted.

5. You assign GQ stations to the crew, and that's where they stay for the entire patrol.
Both engineering compartments fully manned 24 x 7.
A gunner, flak gunner, and 2 seaman on standby in aft berthing 24 x 7.
Good luck in dividing what's left between the 2 torpedo compartments, and damage control. This is where you find out that it's not a give-a-way.
(And you won't have to steal medals from the guys who won't be coming home from Stalingrad).

Very very good post that. Seriously, a very good posting indeed


Jeez...I feel bad for those guys at Stalingrad

To change your renown go on a short patrol (out of the dock even then straight back) and save the game.

Now go to C:\Documents and Settings\usually your name\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\your Kaleuns name

Open up the Patrols_0 CFG and third line from the bottom is Delta Renown....change that to any value you want.

See above.

Download SH3Commander if you haven't already (available fron the downloads section as well as my FF account-link above my sig).

If your playing GWX you will need the Commander CFG file (again available from my FF account).

Open up the game via Commander and choose the new career option and set up the necessary parameters ie. flotilla, date and Uboat type et.
