>>I guess so long as they're not terribly dated I am cool with that. What's more important to me is the fun- if the gameplay is good and the atmosphere captures the 'thrill of the hunt', then my imagination can quite happily fill in the blanks

SH3 might be your speed then. As graphics go, compare screenshot threads in SH3 and SH4 forums. Id suggest starting at the end of those threads and work your way backwards.

>>When you say SH4 has more choices, are you referrng to the game engine itself or the modding options?

Theater and submarine options.
You can play operation Monson for uboats, and TMO and RFB for fleet boats. All told with OM, you can play Type II B/C/D, Type VII B/C/C41/D, Type IX, Type IX B/C/C40/D2, Type XXI, Type XXIII on the uboat side of the house, or S boat, Porpoise, salmon, sargo, tambor/gar, gato, balao, tench, and narwhal classes on the fleet boat side.

>>in-depth games that allow me to exercise a fine level of control,

level of control is about the same in SH3 and SH4 really.

--------------------------------

>>SH3 has alot more mods available to choose from that include the sub interiors

Sh4 is catching up in that department.

Get those 3 works combined, and it'll kick ass.
