Don't make the mistake of confusing SH3 with or without GWX as "realistic." It left out the central aspect of the U-Boat war: the wolfpack. SH3 without wolfpacks is like SH4 without water. No mod, no matter how good, can solve it.
Similarly, in SH4 there is no direct hookup between the TDC and the periscope. The real boat had this. So far no mod has been able to fix it. There are other similar issues.
So don't make me laugh about realism. It's amazingly realistic compared to PacMan, but wouldn't fool a real sub sailor, who would be guffawing about twice a minute.
SH3 and SH4 are equally good games. Neither can brag too much about "realism." It's mostly just a matter of personal taste if you really care to be honest about it. And the lack of realism doesn't keep either from being two of the greatest games I've ever played.
