Hi Steve
The importance of requesting missions allows you to get promotion points for your crew.
Each mission usually comprises of patrolling 3 grids = 3 promotion points.
Sometimes you will get a special mission or just be ordered to patrol a particular area.
The bonus points are important as giving promotion points to the Bosun and then the Cook will help to keep the morale up.
Morale can drop quite quickly so these points are valuable.
With TWOS the way promotion points are distributed is different to the stock game as less points are given for sinking ships.
U-boat upgrades are based on the amount of tonnage AFAIK.
Sinking a neutral ship will delay your upgrade.
The bunker save game before starting the mission and saving the game before Kiel is to keep the game stable.
I do not exit the game for the bunker save.
I go back to the main menu and load the game save I have made which replaces the automated AutoSave Enter Base.
Kiel is a one off so saving at 200km exiting and reloading the game is not really what can be called a hardship.
For Wilhemshaven and Lorient I have never done a game save before entering these ports.
It is always advisable to use your own saved game rather than use an automated one.
I am sure Vecko will pick me up if I have misinformed you on any points.
