Now that I think of it that's what I do too, and I have never had a problem. Well that is other than my speed is always re-set to 0 and it's a crap shoot whether I am still in Silent running or not, but both of those are easily taken care of.

Another time I had a Carrier dead in the water and was setting up to finish her off when I had to go... so saved & exit to Windows. Come back a couple of hours later, re-start and there she is,,, awaiting her demise just like I left her. 1 Torp and she almost rolled over on top of me.

It was beautiful to behold.

Plus I save a lot, but always under the same file name (Patrol 1, Patrol 2... you get the idea)

I just over-write where I am at with the name of my sub.... (unless it is something really neat goign to happen, then I have been known to save it for possible replay later on)....

It makes it easier to have a couple different campaigns going on.
1 S Class out of Brisbane.

2. Gar out of Pearl.

3. Balao out of Pearl.

D#mn, I love this game. Even if I still ain't too good with the TDC.

I use (in addittion to the autosaves) three saves. I call it the rolling saves.

X1, X2, and X3 and alternate between those three progressively.

If X1 is at the top of the three and X2 is at the bottom Ill overwirte X2.

That way if one is corrupted I can roll back to the previous one.

(Please no X1 rants its just a random name.)
