First time I got mad at SHIII for the first time since release

Yes I learnt the hard way as well about saving often, made it nearly all the way home after sinking nearly 30,000 tons of allied shipping only to get depth charged by 2 Destroyers.

T'is better to save after important events, than before.
Good or bad, I don't want to have to do it again.
I feel your anger & frustration, It's justified.

Times like that have made me wonder if there is not a variable at work
we are not aware of.

You can repeat a save, do the exact samethings everytime and get different results also!

That's why the first chance I get after a sinking, I make a save.

I am pretty sure there is such a variable. I have no evidence, but subjectively speaking... I am working on a single mission called "Denmarkstrait"

After several "load it and try it out, save it here and there" there is no other explanation for the results I get...

I save semi-regularly during travelling and ALWAYS after anything I consider to be a significant event.

I've not had any save/crash problems for a while but that doesn't make me complacent because I still remember the other side of the coin well.

Sh3 seems to be the only game where I never ever got mad, and started shouting

When something "bad" happens, I'm, just disappointed, or annoyed, but never mad

I save regularly during patrol, and lately I have started saving to 2 different save files, and alternate between them any time I save. So when my last save game is corrupt or whatever, I try rhe one before that.

But I have had only 2 that a save file was corrupt. But I also had once that when I floaded the game crashed, but when I tried it a second time, everything was ok.

The thing I find most irritating of all is when I hit 'Save' and then the game crashes.

I would consider that Dead Is Dead and end the career. I only save to protect against game crashes. But that's just me.

Just started a new career with this it seems or is more realistic.
