Every ship in the game has it's own specific renown values. For example, medium freighters have 120-150 points, tankers ~200-250 and some rare and valuable ships can have 500 points and even more...
Maintaining positive rating (1 and more) will bring you regular equipment upgrades and new U-boat offers. If you go negative than you may use your current sub type indefinitely...
Use KSDCommander to track your rating and renown points. You will also see realistic awards and medals there. Check it out, it's really a cool program. IN-game medals system is not historically accurate.
Don't think much about secondary missions and flotilla objectives, just be efficient and you'll be OK captain...

Hey Vecko, thanks for this info! Very helpful! I can already see that my rating is positive which is great. On my latest patrol I actually stumbled across a task force with a Queen Elizabeth class battleship that I sunk and got away clean from her destroyer escorts! Another 31000 tons to my credit! I'm sure BDU will be pleased!
On a side note, I'm still a little disappointed that I can't upgrade my conning tower without the game crashing. I don't have any AA armament as a result.
I hope this wont' affect the VIIC in later campaigns as well....
Have you stumbled across anyone else with the same issue I'm having? It's really strange because literally everything else works smooth as butter! The mod is extremely stable apart from this issue.
