R.I.P. the crew of U-19

If leave the game, I pause it, I have also lost a boat whilst away, never again. Even 1TC isn't worth the risk for me. Leave for 5 minutes at 1TC, what are really saving, 2.5 seconds of real time at 128TC when you get back.

RIP Herr Kaleun.

I will leave it at 128 TC if I'm doing something else in the same room only a few feet away where I can keep an eye on things... and then only if I'm cruising out of range of air cover and well away from any place that's likely to be mined.

If I have to leave the room for a short time but will still be where I can hear any alerts, and not so involved with something else that I might miss one if it happens, I'll drop back to 1 TC.

Any other diversions that are likely to take longer or be too distracting... I just pause the game. Better safe than sorry IMO.

I simply keep five saves for each patrol, numbered 1 through 5. After I save #5 I simply save the next one as 1 and then cycle through them until the end of the patrol. Before and after each significant game event I create a new save point. As soon as I spot a ship, I save. After attacking I save and so forth. Having only one save point per patrol means you have to either abandon your career or reload the entire patrol again from scratch if you have a time compression accident. This is my one exception to my "Dead is Dead" style of game play.
