If you are learning the game (and who of us isn't, really?), screw it and reload. Run the tactical solution a few times until you get it right, then go on to better things. Only way to learn, in my book.

I have played several years, and now play DID. But I still save my patrols fairly often (always out of sight and on the surface, though, to avoid crash problems) so I can replay the ones where I came to grief. Always something to learn. I don't play them past the sinking, though. The career is dead... I think of it as a "lessons learned training exercise."

The single missions, by the way, are excellent for training, especially the ones supplied by the GWX team.
