IMO there are three main aspects in which SH4 greatly improves over SH3:
1. the weather randomizer, which kicks in right after you load a save game in SH4, while in SH3 you must wait for 48 hours game time before anything has a chance to change (a big showstopper in my eyes)
2. the hardcoded behavior of ships under attack. In SH3 they just start zigzagging along their original direction, in SH4 they scatter everywhere. Much more realistic this way.
3. Communications with base are greately improved and you can receive orders all through the patrol, as the campaign engine recognises triggers and zones. No more "Keep up the good work". You can even cooperate with air and surface assets.
In addition, the SH4 environment has gone big steps into fixing, with the two environment mods around: Kriller's Pacific Environment and W_Clear's Environment 5.
