Maybe should go to the Wolves at War site and submit the question.
Thanks for the response.

In a way it's not so important because as NYGM doesn't use the renown system, this value has no influence on how you can upgrade your canoe. As long as you know you sank them... I personnally keep a manual logbook of all my patrols, and it's my reference for what happened.

to make sure check your 'K' key for sinking than save the game at that point

Yes I understand the tonnage v renown difference, but it was interesting that when I went to upgrade from a Type IID to a Type VIIB, I got the "Not enough experience message." This after six patrols and about 30,000 tons of shipping sunk. Maybe wrong, but I put it down as a result of only having about 1,900 'official' tons; that would obviously make one "inexperienced". I could be wrong about that but it did seem that NYGM was in fact using the tonnage for at least that decision point. Am going to try a dig further. As I said, maybe Teddy Baer can address the issue if I can find his email address. I try to keep questions like this en clair so everyone can benefit from answers, but maybe a private message to him will work, followed by a repost. Will try and keep you abreast. Thanks for the response.

Codman:
I didn't quite understand your message about the K key and tonnage. It seemed the message may have been truncated, maybe it's only my mind that's truncated. Appreciate the response.
