What I miss most in SH4 are the interactive crew-members in the interior and on the Bridge...

It is really great to click on your engineer / navigator / sonar-operator.., have them turn towards you, and looking at you so you can give them orders. Very, very immersive! And the Watch-Officer on the bridge, too... "Contact Sighted!" - you go to the bridge, click on him, he looks at you, and you can ask about the details of the "nearest contact"... I liked this very much!

As they removed these great interactions in SH4, the interiors seem quite "static" and without life to me... There are not many places to click, which make them seem quite "empty", althought there are quite a few crew-members in them.

Also, the SH4 bridge-crew which turns semi-transparent in some cases (a well-known bug) doesn't really help to increase immersion...

The only thing I liked more about SH4 than SH3 was the possibility to have more crew-members in the Command-room by ordering "all men to battle-stations"... But as I said, without crew-interaction, this is not really all that great...

Would be interested to hear your opinions about this
