Default [TEC] Kaleun's promotions?

Hi!
I play ssh3 with 0% realism mod. Still it's quite odd that I haven't got any promotions. I've downloaded sh3 commander mod and via that promoted my crew members etc. At the moment i've sunk more than 300,000 tonns of allied shipping. Still no promotion in forseeable future..
What's the prob.?

Welcome to SUBSIM

This isn't real life, it's a game with some limitations to how it is played. Enjoy it for what it is.

Promotions in SH3 are linked with Renown and not tonnage. The renown you collect is a function of the realism settings you're using (i.e. if you play at 50% realism you will collect the 50% of the possible renown you can etc). Therefore by playing 0% realism you collect no renown. Hence no promotions as well

Default Mille Grazie!

Thanks mate!
I would've never notived that without your concern!
Well, I'm playing my first mission now with 50% realism. How soon would you expect the first promotion to appear?

No worries mate. That's why we're here.

I think these will help you http://www.mysh3.info/shiii/index.php?title=Promotions http://www.mysh3.info/shiii/index.php?title=Renown

If you have any other questions just give us a shout

Also I would suggest you give GWX a try (if you haven't done that already). Have a look at the manual http://files.filefront.com/GWX+MANUA.../fileinfo.html and if you like what you see click on the link under my signature to get it

Thanks! I will check that out!
Can you give somekind of link to download proper additional mod to sh3?
For example now the british warships are quite rare consisting of 3xbb-class, 2xcarriers.etc. The funniest i mention the americans use clemson dd's! I guess i've bought the original game
The addons' installation instructions would also be nice

There are loads of little mods for SH3, but you're better off by getting one of the SuperMods (GWX, NYGM etc). This link should help you http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=96026

Obviously if you need anything else let me know
