The only issue I am having with Arma 3's auto save feature is the timing during missions. sometimes when having to flee during a mission the game will auto save right before my characters death in game creating a never ending cycle of respawn and instantly dying. For my experience, most recently, I was in a MRAP fleeing to an Evac point, the game autosaved and immediately after, my vehicle was struck by a AT rocket. Now I must restart the entire mission. I believe it would be very helpful if Arma 3 kept the 2 most recent autosaves, instead of 1, allowing a player an option if caught in this problem. I believe this would be also the easiest fix.

Additional Information
This is a very very frustrating problem, although players can manually save through a mission, usually I either don't think about it, or save at a bad time. I have experienced this death cycle about 7 times, although I save manually now, it would be much easier if the game kept the previous 2 autosave points, mostly because the autosave usually happens at the best opportunity to save (but not always)
