One question: Are you using the "save replay" option? I seem to remember someone here mention that when using that, it's also saving a video of what's going on, which lead to a HUGE saved file.
BTW, my save structure looks something like this:
autosave on "arrival/leaving" base, etc.
Mission01-01 (for mission 01, save #1)
Mission01-02 (mission 01, save #2), etc.
Saves are usually once every 2 game days (night/day cycle) and if sonar or radar contacts are made, I'll do one right there, always on the map view.
While getting from base to the patrol point, I might just over-write one of those, but I make it a point never to over-write a save file more than 3 times. I'll simply make a new save file and continue on from there.
Don't delete any of the old "mission" saves until AFTER you've returned to base, and have a new mission started.
