Staying with "Rank" for a moment.
Yes, I know the images are small but you get the idea...
As per Steven's notes, you can change the ranks in the game and the changes to line 48 (00000040) on the left and (08) on top will change the rank. That change will register on both the "Patrol Summary" and "Career" score pages.
HOWEVER...
What I am seeing is that once, that change alone is completed, that rank will remain the same throughout the game and you will not automatically promote. I have played two games now, starting out once as a Leutnant and once as a Kapitanleutnant and after 11 patrols, not a single promotion!
Considering, a U-boat Kapitan being awarded the Knight's Cross or above would have been promoted on the spot at the Leutnant level and after 11 patrols wearing the diamonds level award, still nothing in either case??
I was hoping to see the normal accession that one normally sees to the next higher ranks around patrols 4 or 5 (Oblt to Kptlt) and again around patrols 14 or 15 (Kptlt to KrvKpt), with the idea if I started out as Kptlt, I eventually would see FrgKpt. No such luck.
