I've posted earlier about my specific wishlist (more compartments on sub to enter, more realistic crew managemt and improved graphics etc).

I have a sneaky suspicion that SH4 is going to be SH3.5, in that it will be just an updated and re-modeled SH3 engine. I doubt if Ubi would go to the trouble of designing another subsim from scratch when it allready has a very good subsim to play with.

On that note i'd like to add a few more wishes after reading the thread:

1. More realistic orders, given in a correct USN style for the time, and using correct terminology and phrases. Not just go to point A and cruise around for a bit.

2. Added to this realistic intel breifings/intel documents on what to expect in the way of Jap convoys and Naval forces in you op area.

3. Photo Recon missions, beach recon missions and lifegaurd/pilot rescue missions.

4. Better Radio traffic. A modder called irishred developed a full set of accurate radio messages from Bdu to the U-boats at sea and this massively added to the immersion of SH3. A similar set of accurate radio logs should be developed for SH4. And note to DEVS: This is a perfect project to get the modders involved in BEFORE the game is released. A radio log file with a list of real life messages could be complied without the modders knowing anything about the actual development of SH4.

In fact there are several tasks which the mod community could get involved in before the game is actually released, from researching various historical facts etc. to actually designing 3d models and Skinning the resultant models. The modders involved would of course be under NDA's (Non Disclosure Agreements) and some of them might even work for free (a copy of SH4 a week or so before the rest of us would be payment enough i feel for many modders+the feeling of actually being involved in such a project). The talent of the modders on this forum is amazing, one only has to look at the SH2 to Pacific Aces conversion to see that the Devs would be throwing away a golden opportunity if they did not enlist some of the massive talent on this forum.
