OM combines the best of SH4 with an Atlantic campaign. The best includes the automatic crew rotation, the way the entire crew jumps into action whey you call for Battle Stations, the better graphics and some other stuff. On the other hand it doesn't have all the other things offered by the wealth of other mods available for SH3.

I'm not a graphics junkie (I still play Aces Of The Deep sometimes) but I do like the historic feel that comes with certain mods. In OM you don't get the locks leading to the canals - in fact the entrance to the Kiel Canal looks like the mouth of a river. Also Lurker made some mistakes that never got corrected, like the Type II having 47 crew members instead of 27. If you can live with all that, OM is quite enjoyable.
