I've also decided to shelf SH4 for a while and come back to SH3. The biggest reason is that my hardware is just not good enoughf or SH4. I've tried to tweak the settings and its no use. Even at min settings it's chunk city. But I think the game is BEAUTIFUL. Some day when I have a new computer, and a few new SH4 patches, I'll play it hard. That leads to my second major cluster of issues - buggy damage control and TDC. For me it's all about torpedo firing solutions, and getting tarnished and half-sunk. I don't want to fight bugs in the TDC, and if a broken damage model is going to send me to the surface, or the seafloor, arbitrarily, then I can't hack it. On the other hand, the point Ducimus made about a serious damage model is appealing. Maybe in a future patch...
Anyhow, right now I'm in the Maldives in an IXC and as happy as can be. GWX forever!
