To me it's a matter of atmosphere. SH3 has that authentic WWII flavor, somber colors, forboding atmosphere that reeks of danger. It is a claustrophobic, slightly intimidating effect that just feels right for the game.
SH4 is all bright, shiny and new, with intricate detail that in no way says that this can of men is fifty years ago. It's hard not to be optimistic when you're playing SH4. So the flavor of the two games is entirely different.
Together, they make great compliments to each other. Appreciating one makes you appreciate the other more.
