Problems with Secondary Mission 'Scapa Flow' (Breaking the Forteress):

When reaching the Scapa Flow main bay (the aerea where the mission icon is placed), a lot of escorts, freighters and tankers will be there standing still and not react to my presence. I know that's NORMAL because of AI limitations.
But I didn't see these big warships like reported in the forums (and the reason why you are there), so my question is: Will different ships spawn each time you go to Scapa during the time the mission is active (showing on your map)? Thanks very much to let me know.

In my testing case, only 2 big troop ships have spawned (big fishes with 17.000 tons each) and were moving North-South in the aerea. I have sunk them both, but this will not fill the tonnage bar in the secondary mission icon, but in my Captain's Log it's reported as sunken. I think the tonnage bar will only fill if the exact targets for the mission are destroyed, and there is nothing I can do about, apart just having the reminder: Return to port and you will be rewarded for your sinkings, whatever ships, with RENOWN POINTS - and some 'little' PROMOTION POINTS for your crew. But you need to return to port to see that, right ? Was the tonnage bar supposed to work like this?

Please anyone expert enough with the unimproved OH2 v.2.5, please tell me if this is supposed to happen like this, or is this game part broken in OHII v.2.5?

I could of course easily take the whole Tonnage Bar out of the game by adding a sub-mod of OHII, but I'm interested to optionally deliver my modlist with a WORKING tonnage bar without flaws if possible at all. It's very difficult to investigate this problem because there are tons of complaints and posts about this topic which are very confusing and contradicting...Meaning it's very difficult to reconstruct how the tonnage bar was SUPPOSED to work on one side, and on the other side, to reconstruct how BROKEN it really was and how it did perform with OHII v.2.5.

Any comments and responses to my questions are highly welcome !
Thanks !
