Compare vanilla campaign.cfg and TWOS campaign.cfg.
Although is a clever solution and obviously more real life like, it's not so I would say "satisfactory"from game perspective. What I mean is that a player has to have some directions and goals to achieve in game like this. Although poor implemented, filling up tonnage bar is one of them.

Yes, thanks, I will compare the files, but what I wonder is:
With or without tonnage bar mechanic, if you don't accept a mission at the officer in the bunker (or you accept one but you go elsewhere at another mission location), and then you travel exactly to a mission location. Will the same ships spawn in the world compared to the situation where you *did* chose this mission in the bunker? That's what puzzles me...If there is a difference, then it's very important to depart with an active mission. Testing this is very time consuming...
All I know from my tests (not complete yet) is that with the tonnage bar mechanic you get renown points for any ships you sink, plus promotion points for your crew, , BUT still the mission is 'incomplete' with no tonnage bar progress. Here a patrol report from my KSD Commander:

I guess these 'Merit' points corrispond to the surplus of Renown points I get in the bunker for upgrades, plus I got 5 promotion points for my crew. I don't know if I would get much more with an 'active' Scapa Flow mission.
Now in OHII with Tonnage Bar, it doesn't matter if a mission is complete or not I think, you will advance anyway to the next mission or campaign (I've yet to test that to be sure). So substantially I see no difference playing with or without tonnage bar with OHII based mods... But I may be wrong with all this...
