I guess not only me is abusing ALT-S ALT-L "quick save - quick load" feature. I remember that I used to play Silent Storm in Iron Man mode, but it was possible to save while not in turn based. So you're not allowed to save in turn based mode, but you can save even if enemies are present in sector, in real time mode.
Adding this to JA2 will be a balance between current Iron Man and save anytime. While pure Iron Man is too tough, both because of CTDs and difficulty, an option like this would be an improvement and will add a bit of moderation in overall difficulty.
It is easy to perform it, file is "GameSettings.cpp", function "CanGameBeSaved()" - the section for enemies in sector should be removed (function became like "if (gTacticalStatus.uiFlags & INCOMBAT) return FALSE else return TRUE;")
Comments, please?

It's frustrating sometimes. I never played Iron Man since I restarted JA2. You need at least a merc with high agility to avoid enemy interrupts.

jup, i play a mod with what afp/ coolberg describe, but well...
... i think it could be put into options ini as a switch between real iron man and lame-ass iron man because some people probably require the "hard" iron man mode for their specific playing style.
