I never save submerged or in combat. I might forget what I was doing when I reload! I also make incremental saves and rarely if ever do I overwrite a save. I always save on normal time compression and I rarely save with contacts around.
As for the 50km from land, never heard that. I save where I can without having enemies near and if that means off the coast I have done it. Never had an issue. I have saved numerous times near ships and never had an issue though. I even saved with a convoy nearby on multiple occasions.
In fact, since I bought the game when it came out (yay, I have Starforce on my DVD!) I have not once experienced a corrupted save. I am assuming this corruption is due to me modding the game for the first time ever with GWX. I do not care, but I am pissed at the "ship-friendly" eel. Hell if I had known it would not blow up I would have LOVED to ride it like a jet-ski!
