I remember a number of features from the original Silent Hunter and Aces of the Deep that seem lacking in SH4.

In SH, if the boat started taking water, you could get chlorine gas when the batteries flooded. You could abandon the boat before being sunk. Shooting debris out of the torpedo tube to try and fool destroyers. The air search radar would only give distance, and not direction to the contact. AotD had the lookout call out "Smoke on the horizon!" and you could get stuck in the mud at the bottom.
