I'm confused. Doesn't the second comment mean that whenever you meet a convoy with Sergbuto's AI U-boats attached you cannot save anymore? If that's the case, I wonder why they are still in the NYGM campaign files

You are correct, if you encounter a convoy with AI U-boats attached then you cannot save any more (since by then the convoy has spawned and the U-boats are firing at the convoy - I have never been certain whether it is the U-boats themselves that are the problem, or their associated use of 'underwater guns' to fire on the ships.)
NYGM retains these AI U-boats since:
a) They add a lot of realism to the game. They are so effective that they divert the convoy escorts away from the player U-boat, which is the whole function of wolf-pack attacks.
b) There are few convoys with AI U-boats attached, so it is not much of an issue.
c) It is not often that one actually needs to reload a saved game.
Taken all together, the benefits outweigh the difficulties.

IIRC a third issue with saving is that ships from the scr layer lose their waypoints. They just continue sailing straight on. Ships from the rnd layer do not show this behavior (no idea why that's the case. Would be a great if this could be fixed. Maybe a challenge for h.sie if he gets bored  ).

I had not noticed this behaviour before. I shall watch out for it in future! Thanks.
