Yep, this is my philosophy also. I play D.I.D. but in one instance I had a very nice patrol and was going home to St. Nav. all torpedos spent, I plotted a safe path (early '42) out of the reach of air cover and upped the time compression, surfaced, set to standard speed and stopped paying attention....next thing I know my forward compartments are red....I am taking damage, I pause the game and try to figure out what is going on....see no other boats, no airplanes...set the TC to 1 again and get the repair crews working...take more damage and sink...WTF! I was south of Ireland at the time (well south...out in the deeps) In this case I did go back to an earlier save and continue...unfortunantly I my most recent save was at the beginning of the patrol and I lost ~ 25K in tons sunk (would have been a total of ~30K). I think that was the most irritated I have ever been with SHIII! Not sure if I was just unlucky and with lottery like chances rammed something or if SHIII just decided it had enough of me.
