My understanding as how Vecko has adapted his TWOS unlike the stock game where you had to achieve objectives, and had to finish a mission completely within the time date to fill the tonnage bar and get the campaign icons; this is no longer the case.
Another advantage TWOS has over the stock or modded game is that all tonnage counts.
The stock or modded game with the tonnage bar was unfair because you could sink ships in the patrol area and they did not count towards filling the tonnage bar, meaning you had to sink specific types of ships to count but, you did not know what they were.
This was:
EBCW 70,000 tonnes
NWA 80,000 tonnes
SWA 90,000 tonnes
Carrying out your patrol grid assignments adds bonus points that can be used to give you a better crew performance on their individual skills depending on how you spend those points.
Each time you request the same mission you are given either another 3 patrol grid objectives or you get a special mission.
The amount of tonnage you sink in general is important as it will help you to receive for example, a quicker upgrade from the VIIA to VIIB. There are other benefits as well as enhancing your career and the medals you receive.
