/Not that there is anything wrong with that...

We do not play on the wrong side.

We play on the side that is doomed to loose, but if it wasn't, it could happen to be the 'good one' after the war. It's all the matter of who's the winner and who wrote the story.

But personally I prefer tha black over the white colour (actually 'black' isn;t a colour, but that's irrelevant.).

And to make myself clear - I am absolutely NOT a nazi follower or supporter. I'm extremely glad that the III Reich was defeated. I've lost two grandparents in Nazi Death Camps and another two of unknown fate, dissapeared in '44.

11 ships...........two convoys.........maybe i am doing something wrong

I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't have to use renoun to get torpedos.... no matter what they are. You can go into the Data/Basic.cfg and change the renoun to zero for them and save. Tho I'd do it while "In Base" just to be safe.

:hmm: Is it a cheat, no, not in my opinion. Have you ever read that torpedos had to be bought during WWII for any side? I haven't yet. But that's "player's choice". And the same can be said for equipement.

I agree the Renown is a joke can you see this in WW2 some poor captain comes back in a battered boat and is ask how many ships you sunk. None I was under attack. Well that's a big fat zero and no upgrades for you.

Yep. LOL Or, he'd either be shot or sent to the Russian Front post haste. Renoun wouldn't save his butt at all.

And , "No Soup for you!"

Hi,

Thanks JU_88!

I'll try that next time I load up SH3. I've never been one to edit files like this, I've always believed that if you get crap renown you keep it crap until you improve. But in this case you feel cheated by the game - it should have given those 500 points back as I didn't actually want the Falke torpedo.

So STEED, I don't see it as joining the dark-side at all - LOL!!!

@IceGrog - Mate, all I can say - lots of luck helped me with that tonnage!

I broke off contact with a merchant after seeing the radio report of the convoy on the map. I attacked the it 3 times - took a couple of days overall. Got DC's a few times, but wasn't too badly damaged. Attempting the 4th attack I couldn't even get close, the Destroyers were everywhere, so decided to break off the attack. Heading back to Brest with only 3 torps left (and low on fuel) I saw another convoy and I was on an intercept course attacking off their port side at 100 degrees. I fired all 3 eels at 2kms and hit a pyro which went down easily, a tanker and a large merchant. I finished off the merchant with the deck gun the following morning shortly after dawn when the destroyers were nowhere in sight then headed home.

Cheers guys!

PS - Just to stress this - I don't plan to cheat to get torpedoes - SH3 conned me out of those 500 points by adding a torpedo I didn't want and not giving me back the 500 when I replaced it with a pre-war steam torp. I won't be editing these files afterwards for any other reason, but I feel it's justified in this case.

Now if you want to be uber-technical...white is all colors and reflects all light, black is the lack of colors and absorbs all light.

Learned that in physics in 9th grade.

I for one like the renown system. I know its not ACTUALLY real, but not all kaleuns were granted the latest tech when it arrived. It also gives you something to save up for. Its a game after all.
