For who knows what reason, the game loads the entire SH3 "world" every time you load up... all the data for everything for the full duration of the war, instead of, say, just the stuff that's necessary for the current patrol or mission. That's my understanding of it, anyway. Thus the very long loading times. They will probably get even longer the more stuff you add. It can be a nail-biter when you're loading up for the first time right after adding a new mod, sometimes it will hang right there at the end and make you think it's gonna crash and then it doesn't.

OTOH maybe it's not a bad thing to have to get used to for a game where patience is such a virtue.
