Well, not really, because there is no Commander for SH4 or SH5 - so with SH3 plus Commander you get something that you can't get with the other games at all.
One of the most immersive things for me with it is the amount of time I spend going over my crew list, doling out awards and promotions and transfers, and reviewing and keeping track of my patrol logs... sometimes I'll spend 1-2 hours after finishing a patrol just doing the paperwork. And you can't have a military without a little bureaucracy thrown in.
I am really looking to do some tinkering when I finish my current career to see how many things I've done with other mods or by manual editing of files can be more easily integrated into the game and controlled or varied using some of Commander's capabilities.
I couldn't find a direct link to just the manual - I'm sure there is one, but anyway - there's a pretty good "visual tour" in this post at the Ubi forums:

The screenshots give a pretty good idea of some of the basic things it can do. If you get hold of the complete manual you'll find there's lots more you can do with it.
IF YOU ARE USING GWX, make sure you also get the config files needed to use Commander and GWX together. A link to those (as well as Commander itself) plus instructions are in the first post of the stickied thread for Commander in the Mods Workshop forum.
