Much to my relief, after defragging and virus-scanning my HD, I got SH4 to run semi-smoothly. Still choppy in some situations, but playable at least. I had a few questions regarding the gameplay:

1.) What are the main differences between the sub types? I'm unfamiliar with the American submarine classes.

2.) What are some of the major differences between this game and SH3? So far for me its getting used to the interface.

3.) What kind of different tactics should be used in an American boat vs a Uboat? I was blown away at how many tubes/total torps I have to play with in a Tambor class. Is this balanced by the unreliability of early-war US torpedoes?

4.) Do the Americans get the same amount of upgrades the Germans get? It was a lot of fun upgrading the boat's engines, antisonar coating, decoys, better AA guns, radar, sonar, etc. So far the American boats seem nicely equipped from the get-go which is neat, but at the same time in SH3 I was chasing that renown for a better boat- here renown seems like less of a driving force (especially since the training doesnt give any and you can set your starting renown :shifty:
