I think that's a cool idea - but - if it's as crashy/buggy/TCy as SH3, sometimes you want to go back on a death for technical reasons. If they can make an uber-solid game that _cannot_ crash for any reason on my machine, then i would check the DiD checkbox. Then again, what about when a fire alarm pulls you out of your apartment without a save and the DDs smoke you? Sometimes yer killed, but not Dead is Dead.
I know what you mean, and it's a good point. I had a few episodes where I was cruising along at x4000+ time compression, and suddenly I get a Destroyer sighting, and due to lag that damned time compression doesn't sink to x1 until I'm litterally side-by-side with the damned British warship, making some nice scratches in her paint-job with a grinding sound as she pounds me happily with her cannons. Result?

K. I. A.

Other examples include hitting 'D' ('Dive') accidentally at full Time Compression and instantly diving to crush depth, the game crashing... I could go on and on.
