You'll get no promotion this side of the Ocean

Someone at BDU doesn't like me.
OK, I was slow on the uptake here, but I'm not in this thing for status - I just enjoy blowing things to kingdom come.

I've just noticed that, after 27 successful missions, where all my Officers & NCO's are maxed out on promotions & gongs (even the ship's cat has the Iron Cross*) I have NEVER been promoted & I have fewer medals than the cook.

I'm pretty sure the Admiral hasn't found out about that time with his daughter, the 3 bottles of schnapps & the goat, but even if he did he's a nice guy & he knows we all need to let off some steam between patrols.

* This is only second class - and she's forever bitching about that - says it's blatant discrimination 'cos she's the only female aboard.
I've told her how hard it was to get even that out of the Kriegsmarine when she's not officially a crewmember, but she shows NO gratitude - just keeps bringing up that time with the T2 - I've said time & time again that we would have picked it up sooner or later & we'd all catch hell if BDU ever found out someone let the cat stand watch on the hydrophones (who's idea WAS that anyway?).

The bottom line here is that I get no promotion, no medals & no respect from the livestock on this damned boat - if it wasn't for the torpedoes & the deck gun I'd be out of here the first neutral territory I come to (where is the coast of Switzerland anyway?).

What mods are you using. Most of them give you a promotion after the first patrol. Even the stock game should give you one sooner or later.

The coast of Switzerland is just this side of Kansas. Follow the third star on the left and straight on 'til morning.

(The swiss do have a navy...so, make sure you get there undetected)

Do you visit the assigned grid and patrol it for 24 hrs?

Weren't promotions based on unused renown points? In other words, If your allways spending your renown points on stuff for your ship, you'll never get promoted... no?

There is a Swiss navy. :hmm:
It's made up of patrol craft the size of nothing. FYI. OT. ETC. OA.
