Concur with Morphin.

The first time the game is saved in the Game Engine (either with File Save or File Save As commands), the window appears asking for a file name and adds an .SAV suffix. Subsequent File Save commands should just overwrite the previously saved file name.

I also would like to have an option to create saves automatically, let´s say all five minutes.

I believe that is covered by the Auto-save function. You can enable it with the Configuration launcher.

IIRC, RSharp told me that the auto-save (in MP) is determined by the time compression setting. i.e. Games running at 1:1 would save more often than games running at 1:5min. I hope that I heard that correctly. [:)]

That would be to check the box "Autosave -a" under the "Command Line Options" in the ANW Launcher?

[edit] Facilities
Land Facilities no longer take cumulative damage like ships . The 4.1 Paper rules for structure damage were in part implemented. Basically, if a land object (other than runways) takes 50% or more of its damage rating in a 180 second period, it is at risk of destruction. The chance of destruction is proportional to the percentage of its damage taken up to 100% chance of destruction at 100% damage.

Damage reporting for land objects is changes in 3.9. Instead of a percentage, land objects will be reported as "Operational" or "Hit". "Hit" indicates the object has taken damage within the past 180 seconds and will be checked for destruction in the near future. "Operational" means its OK. Destroyed land objects go away immediately, so there is no special status indicator for that.

Russell,

Above is quote from WIKI-manual.
I understand the need to upgrade the damage model, but I have one observation.

When a Cruiser or Destroyer currently fires on a Company for example, damage accumulates on the ground unit, but during the time it takes to reload the guns, the ground unit 'repairs' in a matter of minutes (something like 3 minutes).
Result is that the ship can fire all the ammo it has on board without being able to kill the Company.
I would suggest that the 3 minute 'repair' time is very short. If that 'repair' time is meant to be time for the ground unit to do damage assessment, extract personel and make essential repairs than I think it would be more reasonable for it to be in the order of 6 hours than 3 minutes.

As a matter of interest - many scens in all DBs that have destruction of ground units in the vicconds need to be retested - and I'm sure in many cases serious work needs to be done on the scen (such as replacing the ground units and therefore the missions attacking them). I've certainly noticed a few scens already where that is the case.
