What's your pc's specs & what add-ons are you running, besides GWX? Make a note of the error message, if you get one, when the game crashes & somebody here may be able to help you get it sorted out.

If your using GWX2 or 2.1 make sure you install the patch by BBW, I think the GWX team is going to release a final version with all the fixes since they are a little scattered, but don't quote me on this, it's just a rumor at this stage.

Im not sure.It was a small boat smaller that destroyer (corvette maybe)that would not leave me alone after i sunk some ships in a convoy between UK and Ireland.
I had saved the mission after the convoy attack so each time i tried to kill this pesky boat had CTD on torpedo impact.
Any way succeeded in getting out silently but still not sure why it happened.
Besides that had no problems with GWX 2.1-maybe it happened because the save in middle of action?
What is BBW?

You mention that you are playing with some add ons. What are they?

Also were you submerged when you saved? Sometimes this can cause CTD's.

Do not save while you're submerged, near land or any objects (ships & aircraft). SH III has a really bad habit of crashing when you do these things. You should also avoid using the crew configuration screen to move crew around (see GWX manual for details).

Hope this helps...

I've had this problem also. Mine was with an armed trawler. Had four or five encounters with it and each time the firing started: CTD. A Ubi forum member also reported the same thing (can't remember what enemy ship it was). Sometimes, for no reason, the game just doesn't like your opponent or situation well enough to allow you to continue. BOOM!

Work around it and continue, there's plenty more fish in the sea.
