Do Player Stats Remain if a Module is Uninstalled? Also... Cloud-saved Stats?

(There is no DCS 'Core Features' sub-forum, so I posted here in this sub-sub-forum...)

As the title says - if I uninstall a module (say an aircraft module), do my player stats (flight time, TOLs, K/Ds, etc.) remain?

I love the new module install/uninstall feature of 2.9. Makes the game size manageable! I have my most active modules installed, and modules for-later or less interesting modules uninstalled.

If I uninstall, say, the F-16 module as I've "mastered" it (ha) and replace it with the F-18 module for a new challenge, will my F-16 stats remain? I suppose they will, since it's all saved in the .LUA file? I just don't want to find out the hard way and lose those stats.

On this note, is there any indication from ED about cloud-saved stats?

Yes, the Updater, (which does all of the installation/repairs), do not touch Saved Games. Not sure if you see the entries on the Logbook for modules that are not installed currently, but the stats are not removed.
BTW: It's not a new feature. The module manager in the game does the same. It's just even more convenient to be able to use the Launcher. Can even be done by command line.

Great. So for backing up / saving stats, the ol' manual backup of the .LUA file is still the preferred method?

Yes!
