Renown Basics

This is useful information from the SH3 community manual in case you missed it.

Renown Basics
Renown is the measure of the success of your patrols in Career mode.
You earn renown by:
Reaching your patrol zone
Patrolling for 24 hours
Sinking enemy ships
Shooting down enemy planes
Returning to your base at patrol end, instead of using the ESCAPE key to "return to port" in mid-patrol. When you're within 30 kilometers of your base and hit the ESCAPE key, you will then be offered the option to "Dock at: base". You do not have to travel the last mile and dock in the U-boat pen.
You lose renown by:
Sinking friendly ships. Sinking a friendly ship will penalize your renown by a factor of ten times such a ship's renown value. Keep it up and SH3 will toss you out of the Kriegsmarine.
Sinking neutral ships. Neutral ships will cost you the same renown amount that you would earn for sinking the equivalent enemy ship. Armed neutral ships will also begin firing on you. As with sinking friendly ships, sinking neutrals can lead to the end of your career in the Kriegsmarine.

You do not lose renown for skipping your patrol grid square. It is just a place to earn points if you visit it. It is not required of you to go there or stay there.
You will not see the renown you've earned in your current patrol until you've returned to base.
Renown can be used to upgrade to a new type of U-boat, purchase upgraded conning towers, radios, or guns, or to enlist more experienced sailors and officers.
The renown value for each ship can be found by looking at the .cfg file for the ship in the SilentHunterIII/data/Sea/shipname/ directory.
[edit]
Renown and Realism
The renown you receive for sinking enemy ships is also affected by your Realism %. You will earn more renown for playing at a higher Realism %.
The formula for calculating renown (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=36293), per ship, is:
base ship renown value (see below) * ( (0.75 * realism %) + 0.25 ).
Therefore, At 100% realism, you will receive full renown credit for every ship that you sink and at 0% realism, you will receive 25% of the renown credit for every ship.
[edit]

It’s HIGH RISK but HIGH REWARD if you go to Gibraltar. The update would look like this:
1941/02/07 - 1941/08/10, Battleship Nelson, Gibraltar
1941/02/07 - 1941/08/10, Southhampton Cruisers (x2), London Cruiser, Dorsetshire Cruiser, Gibraltar

They keep these ships at anchor and they DO respawn…
