The above posts are dead on when it comes to completing missions. Havent had that fail me yet.
As for the save game issues - corruption and "tactical change" - both can be mitigated by what has been found to be the way to correctly save in SH3/4.
1 - save on the surface - never submerged
2 - save when your not close to shipping - nothing within visual range is far enough away to be effective.
3 - save from the "map" screen instead of looking at all the pretty ocean from the bridge or whatnot....
These steps will keep you from corrupting a save - and in the process stop any tactical changes that sink your boat. They also keep you from saving right before you launch that single torp trying to hit the perfect spot on the yamato to take her down. No one shot - one kill in this game for most!
I do agree that they should fix the savegame to where we can do it whenever and however we want - but that never got done in sh3 and this is the same engine - so there may be an issue that they are not able to solve with the given resources....
As for the chronometer - alot of people seem to want it. Not a big thing on my list - but as its in the manual it oughta work.
My biggest issues with SH4 is the borked damage control and AI (convoy/tf/escort) routines. But hey, everyone has their priorities, and yours are just as valid as anyone elses.
Good Hunting!
