Editing Renown To Tonnage GWX

[Eastwa]

Morning All.

I have always been a bit frustrated with the renown/award system in GWX so I have been thinking of if there is a way of changing the renown of sunk ships to match the tonnage so if you sink a 5000 ton merchant you get 5000 renown and then changing the medals around to match so you don't get the knights cross until you sink 100000/100000 tons/renown or something like that.

Looks like you can edit Data/Sea folder and the individual ships like below an match the tonnage to the renown.

[Unit]
ClassName=AK01A
UnitType=102
MaxSpeed=18
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=22.5
Draft=8.8
Displacement=7445
RenownAwarded=270
[2DCompartments]
UnitPos=56,8,403,20
NbOfComp=4
Name1=Propulsion
Area1=58,5,30,18
Name2=Keel
Area2=164,2,187,10
Name3=Engines Room
Area3=207,13,52,18
Name4=Fuel Bunkers
Area4=261,13,30,18

Looks like it would take a lot of editing as there are a lot of ships, also with awards I think maybe if you change the criteria in the SH3 commander file in CFG and static settings

[data\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
;The below lines allow player to set U-boat emblem at start of career

;The below lines provide more realistic promotions (sooner) and medals (longer)

;PLAYER_RENOWN|MedalScore5=50000;diamonds, SCORE
;PLAYER_RENOWN|MedalScore6=90000;all, SCORE
;The below lines increase the number of badges available for awarding and defers
;receipt of clasp and GC until later in the war, to closer reflect actuality
MEDALS_CREW|RenownStep=50; RENOWN, u-boat badge
MEDALS_CREW|SunkInPatrol=60000; TONNAGE, front clasp
MEDALS_CREW|SunkInPatrolGerman=60000; TONNAGE, GC
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then change the medals to match

Any idea if anybody has experimented with this and if it will work ?

Thoughts ?

Kind Regards
