After much travail, I can confirm that Silent Hunter 4 does work with different heads and body parts for the crew! Not only that, but they can be added without complex "rocket science". No hex editing, reanimating body parts, or having access to whatever software the developers used. This means that Silent Hunter 5 .obj files (or new high polygon bodies from any modeler) can be "transplanted" on the sailors - and thus implemented in SH4, to bring the game up to a more modern standard.
