SH4 v1.5 OM is a great U-boat sim in aspect of graphics, crew managment and sea water environment. But there is no adequate U-boat boyancy and the rest of the environment (e.g. sunset) is quite excessive. I agree though that deserves more attention from the moders.

I disagree, especially about the sunsets. I've seen sunsets that look just like that, and the transparent water is amazing. SH5's is even better, but the foam needs a little tweeking. As for the bouyancy, With the current mods it's a lot better, and could probably be fixed entirely if someone felt motivated to do it.
SH4 is much more capable when it comes to adding mods like FM's new interiors, and IABL's merchant fleet could be cloned into individual nations with much less trouble than it is with SH3, possibly even into individual corporate stables. And I could guarantee that they got the correct names for all of those, if there was a ship-name application like SH3 Commander. That kind of fineness simply can't be done with SH3. So I'm biased.

Ps. I wonder SS, why there is only one Mega-mod for SH4 v1.5?

And that's the problem - nobody feels motivated to do it. The GWX team was starting a mod for SH4, but put it off when SH5 was announced and have gone their separate ways. They are still in touch, but are working on different projects, mostly involving SH5.
