Hi Firebiro
I am having mixed success with the tonnage bar which seems to have an affect whether you are on line or offline and also in game saves and manual saves.
At some point you need to be off line.
Starting on line and having a save and then exiting and starting again off line seems to work.
Also making a patrol report or contact report also seems to make a difference.
In Breaking the Fortress from a manual save I sank both the BB and BC with no tonnage bar showing.
I deleted the AIG saves and reloaded the manual save and sank the BC and the tonnage bar filled.
In Northwest Approaches I sank 3 merchants in Stornoway harbour all at anchor and the tonnage bar filled without any problems.
In Loch Ewe I sank a merchant at anchor and the tonnage bar did not fill.
I exited the game and came back on off line.
I loaded the last AIG save again which was a submerged save.
I sank 2 moving AMC's and both showed on the tonnage bar.
If you are doing the Baltic do it with minimum mods, essentials only.
I usually play with around 40 mods but only 14 for the Baltic.
I did around 10 previous Baltics with no tonnage bar showing starting a New Campaign each time.
My break through seemed to come when I did an additional save in the bunker which changed the patrol start time.
Sinking ships at anchor in the 2 ports should add to the tonnage bar.
Getting a ctd in Danzig Harbour is also to be expected at some point also.
I Have tried stock also and no tonnage bar filling.
So what is the answer?
If you start on line, try a patrol report before your first AIG save.
You might even want to try a manual save after 5 to 10 minutes later depending on your game circumstances.
Exit the game.
Go offline and load the last game.
Always make any manual saves over the last save showing.
If you are going to reload an older save make sure any in front of it have been deleted.
I am slowly getting to grips with this problem.
It has been a long and time consuming process of experimentation.
I do not give up on things easily and this game SH5 is worth persevering with.
You just need to think of all the angles and keep a note of what you have done as this will help you with what to try next.
I am still on NWA and my tonnage bar is half filled only 3 torpedoes left.
