Why?

I made this reply in another thread:
I've heard that a lot on this forum, but I do it quite often. Maybe I've been lucky so far, I haven't had any problems.

I try to avoid it but it gets frustrating when you spend so much time making a submerged approach and the game crashes on you and you have to start over. Once I made a submerged approach, hit my target, and just after I surfaced to watch his death throes.....CTD.
I hadn't saved in a while and had to redo the approach.

Crashes don't happen very often but they occasionally do, so I try to save fairly often, even when submerged.
