Welcome aboard, SeniorSpan. I too am an old SH player, as well as an old sailor in real life. It's interesting that there are a few people who don't want to play the Germans, since a large part of the complaints have been that SH4 would be in the Pacific, rather than another u-boat game. I personally like to play both, mainly because I love ships and submarines, and am a huge fan of Das Boot, the best submarine movie ever made.
There is a program called DosBox, which lets you play Silent Hunter on a modern XP maching. Lots of folks do it.
Anyway, I understand your feelings, and I'm really looking forward to SH4 as well.
