Sink BC and tonnage bar fills and icon shows on mission.
As you can see it is very hit or miss as getting the right combination is a bit of a lottery.
I am going to try to keep some better records and see if there is a pattern of events emerging.
The deciding factors are going on line and off line and exiting the game at strategic times.
Sending patrol or contact reports.
Making manual saves between AIG saves.
If you get a Uplay save request then save to your local games.
The tonnage bar is not a mod problem but it is always worth doing the
Baltic with a minimum mod list and then adding your remaining mods back in the bunker in Kiel.
Local saves and game starts are used when you go off line and do not sync from or to the cloud.
When you go back on line the cloud starts sycing again but then wants to know what to use a local save or cloud save.
The on line saves always sync to both the cloud and also to your local save.
