Strange.
One would think he would notice if he were dead.

I believe the game is re-establishing the state of the boat before the save...if the boat was damaged before the save. I have run into this problem but I do not have hull damage add or anything. If your boat was not damaged at time of save and this happens on the next start up, then it is a bug. Your boat should not have renown costing damage none the less. Understand that saving while submerged can affect the save and also in the presence of warships. I have not experienced this myself but others have. They usually save surfaced and away from warships.

I never save a game in mission I always complete a patrol and then exit in the normal way,my hull integrity was around 80% my flak gunner all four were wounded,even when I docked the boat the mission summery said 52 healthy 4 wounded clicked next "DEAD"reloaded did the same patrol without any injuries docked the boat "dead" 4 times this happened at the end I gave up and scrubbed out all my careers out.I have'nt a clue if somehow my saved files got corrupt,or what.

How do you guys do that ? You leave your PC running 24/24 ? Takes me minimum a week at 4/5 hours a night to complete an average normal 4 weeks patrol...

Do you play in real time???? Because I do play in high time compression as I don't have a lot of time to play. Usually in 3-4 hours (at the most) the mission (2-4 weeks real time) is done

I play at no higher than 256 TC, and it usually takes me 3 or 4 sessions to complete a 4 week patrol. If real life calls and I'm around a warship, or if I'm submerged, I'll just leave the game paused and the computer on until I can come back. Otherwise I go ahead and save.

Knock on wood, I've never run into a problem yet.

I play max 128 TC (for airplane spawning) and all action phases real time. It can happen I spend a couple of hours evading DC attacks (usually standing at the hydrophone) and don't see the time go by... Can be an hour just getting in position for a convoy attack.
