I would be with you on this one 
It may be an idea to create this mod where possible for both platforms - a lot of stuff would be common to both, but certain parts would work for sh4 that are not possible with sh3.
For example better layed out UI's could be created for SH4 with the higher resolutions,. Where as the UI that Makman has created would be available for the Sh3 version.
Its definitely worth looking into dual platform release.
A lot of this can be fixed, SH4 just never received the same modder base that Sh3 had or that sh5 even has now. It kind of got looked over due the SH5 being announced and GWX4.0 being disbanded.
But It has the most potential to become the greatest Silent Hunter platform minus the scripting of SH5.
SH4 can have neutral shipping look at its defside.cfg (A portion of the entries) I'm sure this is just a campaign issue that need over hauling badly.

Hi mate,
Great to see you would be in for the ride but what about crew i heard negative thing about the crew and the way it is handle in Sh4?
Also is it true that frequent crash are occurring on Sh4 i just saw a couple posts mentioning this?
I don't want to open a new Pandora box i already have enough drawback and issues solving stuff in sh3 that i don't want more issues that would be unsolvable.
I am looking at the most friendly modders platform to give us a nice workflow pipeline.
Best regards Hans
