Loading a save game resets things and change game state.

In SH5 we call this Tactical Saving.....aka making sure that when you save your game that you will not be "discovered" when reloading or have damaged units heal themselves.

This is one of the most annoying BUGS in SH5. Imagine running into a convoy under prefect conditions.....light fog....a little chop, but you don't have time to play so you save. Only to reload have have heavy Fog and really bad sea state.

Another factor when saving near a convoy is the fact that if you damage a ship in SH5, save and reload, the ship will have fully repaired itself. So plan accordingly.
