I agree with the ongoing problems with SH4, but I keep switching back and forth. The reason? Those selfsame storms. With SH3 and GWX and SH3Cmdr I get awesome experiences, but I'm tired of never being able to fight due to my entire patrol being in stormy weather.

With SH4 and OM I get much better weather changes, much better graphics (even on a machine so old that I can only run it with no SFX enabled at all), better time compression and better map grids, but I have to agree about the feel of the thing. The funky crew names are a part of it, and the GUI is, as was said, much less involving.

@ Ducimus: Your 'soul' article is spot-on. Good job!
