Well, you asked for that. Here you had a great patrol, maybe a lot of contacts still in your zone and you QUIT, expecting a save to work to take your wife shopping...Geesh, I just have no pity for you.
Seriously, not sure why your save didn't work. Were you playing RSRD? I take it you were in the...er Sulu Sea, whatever sea west of the San Bern.
That's where US planes usually attack in mass, around 100 of them, you mention down pilots, did you notice mass plane attacks. If playing RSRD the capital ships come in two long lines with the Yamato's in the rear. What do you mean by it was all alone? Did the group do something funny when you sunk the Kongo? Lucky the escorts didn't jump on you.
I have a hard time attacking the group there with my older PC, AMD3800, 2mgs ram and 9600gt.
Course I play maxed out settings with nHancer and high resolutions, but with all the contacts with planes attacking my PC really slows down in this battle, so I wait for the San Bern.
My guess is the TF was still in your contact zone, lots of planes and just too many contacts for the save. I've also heard not good to save when pilots are in the water and usually here there are a lot of them.
You shoud've just hit pause......anyway, man up next time and make her wait a few.
