I havent played SH4 mate but I think it depends on YOUR preference of theatre above all,either the dark gloomy Atlantic or the warm tropical Pacific.For me the European/Atlantic theatre is my domain,plus GWX3 adds so much to the stock game that I dont think SH4 has even got,yes SH4 graphics may be better but the gameplay might not,and realism and immersion is EVERYTHING to a submarine simulation.
And as for this so called 'rough bunch' in the SH4 forum?,dont let em bother you,its clear yes that a minority ARE rude and arrogant when it comes to newcomers to a game,or if they simply were after information that has been posted before without your knowledge,but most folk are friendly and supportive.
You'll be better staying here with us pal,the Grey Wolves! ,not the sissies that bask on the deck playing cards all day in the Pacific sun,we like our weather cold and wet and the sea even colder! There is nothing finer than ploughing through a North Sea storm on the surface at 16kts chasing a hapless merchant chugging along completely oblivious to whats coming next
