Is it possible to eliminate Tonnage requirements all together?

Hello,

I was just curious if a mod existed or if it's possible to make one that completely eliminates tonnage requirements during the campaign. I know there are already mods that reduce tonnage requirements, which is great, but I would like to see these quota's gone all together. The reason is: I find having these quota's really takes away from the immersion in the game. I sometimes become distracted with having to sink so many ships on a patrol that I all I care about is sinking as many ships as I can, and I will reload previous saves to make sure I sink more than I did before, or I do reckless things like surfacing and using the deck gun. It really takes away from the experience.

Would it be possible to go back to a similar system like in SH3, where you just have to patrol a certain area? I was thinking, for example, what if the missions during say British Coastal Waters, or Western Approaches, involved patrolling those areas say 5 times. After surviving 5 patrols, the mission is considered a success, and whatever tonnage you racked up is like a bonus. I highly doubt U-boat captains had quotas like this. Reading up on some U-boat commanders, some of them completed over 10 patrols without sinking a single ship. Were they kicked out of the Kreigsmarine? I doubt it.

Also, what even happens when you reach the deadline and haven't sunk enough tonnage? Is the mission a failure? Do you have to redo it? I haven't even gotten that far to find out, but I would much rather just have tonnage quota's gone all together. I think it would add a lot more immersion into the game. Just some thoughts. Thanks everyone.

The game isnt forcing you do meet those quota,s you know? Reaching the quotas just speeds up some aspects of the land war. You can play it like sh-3 if you really want to and you dont have to redo the missions if you dont make them. I tend to do the missions which are somewhat realistic. But i just dont bother sink this battle ship or destroy 5 armed merchants before this deadline because i just find then unrealistic. I ussually try to meet the tonnage missions as much as possible.
