Yeah, that hurts when you know you have a juicy bunch of targets going to appear.
A couple nights ago, I came upon the mother of all task forces, but I screwed it up.
I bought this game when it first hit the shelves and I had never run into a task force, well except those dinky 3 or 4 ship jobs. This one I counted over 22 ships, all but 2 were warships.
I go up to take a peek and it's stoming to beat all. Had probably 75 yards of visiblity. The ships were aways off so I up'd the TC, but hit it a couple notches too much... hehe next thing I'm rammed by a cruiser and a DD comes out of the fog ahead of me. I didn't want to just go down, so... I maned the deck gun and started spraying. heheh it was funny. I died. :rotfl:

Yes saving while there is alot of contacts is risky.

Saving while submerged is also risky.

Sorry you found out the hard way.

I keep three saves and alternate between them. With this method if one is corrupt I can fall back to the previous and only loose at most a few hours and not an entire carrier.

Activity and underwater saves are prone to issues - as stated above. Another little trick - only save from the map screen. With these 3 things I have eliminated my save game issues.
Good Hunting!
