1. The game will run as flawlessly as it can, but there are some stock issues in the game, some of which even modding can't get rid of, but it runs great, really.

2. Yes, no prob

3. Need? no - Want? yes... most of the mods available today are for the v1.5, which is the UBoats add-on. Besides, you'd probably like to drive a UBoat around the Pacific a bit, just to feel a little more at home, even if it's not as perty as SH5, and the traffic is a bit over-the-top in stock... not forgetting to mention (which I almost did), the Steam version is SH4 v1.3, which is probably about the worst version of SH4 there is. It used to be that you could patch it v1.4, but it seems that most of the users lately can't get it to take... that leaves you with another $10 purchase for the UBoats... sorry

4. There are several instances where a CTD can be encountered in stock. Most of those have to do with RGG that aren't "defined" properly, which is a fixable problem. Time Compression is another problem at times, in that the game doesn't react fast enough at the higher TC levels. Generally speaking, if something doesn't work correctly, most times it will be a user configuration problem. Consult CapnScurvy's LAA and Windows 10 write-up, since that will alleviate a lot of issues, just being able to access more ram.

5. No. Much much easier to mod than SH5 - However... the Steam installs will "default..." to the Windows' Program Files (x86) folder, and that does cause issues. You have to manage the install setup in your Steam account so that it installs in something other than a Windows' "protected" folder, else it will magically "erase" your mod edits...

6. Using MultiSH4 and try them allllll....

7. At the moment, I'm very partial to the FotSRU mod, click on the picture to left in my signature...

8. That, I don't know... I can't hardly get up and down the ladders in SH5, much less come up with a solution for shooting...

I have issues in SH4 to this day still, though I do hit an enemy shore line every once in a while... The US boats have a Position Keeper (PK), and it is your friend... Rockin Robbins has a few YouTube vidz on SH4 that are very informative and helpful...
