Thank you sir. This is new information to me. I guess I've been lucky with saves.


As I understand it, in SH3 you must not save:
1) while submerged (and note that in heavy seas you can often be momentarily submerged as a wave hits you)
2) If you are within 30km of any harbour.
3) If you are in contact with any other units - friendly or enemy - including aircraft.

Did I miss any other conditions? Following these 3, I've not experienced a bad save in about a year.

Much as I love SH3/GWX, I've just finished a couple of patrols with Operation Monsoon/OMEGU (SH4 v1.5), and for me, it's now almost as enjoyable to play as SH3 ( sorry for the blasphemy) Therr's a lot of good work that's gone into the SH4-ATO side of things.

Given the failings of SH5 (and SH3 too), I'm hoping that ATO modders will continue to focus on the more stable SH4. It was certainly nice not having to worry about these things for a while.

I get that all the time. It's been harmless so far.
