One nice improvement which I have noticed is the appearance of ships on the horizon.
In Sh3, ships were either invisisible or a small black shape would appear which would eventually grow into a ship as you got closer, effective, but a bit jarring.
In SH4, it is much improved. First, you will notice lights blinking on the horizon, which I presume are to simulate signal lamps. Then, the ships will gradually form, swithching from a light blue, nearly indistinguishable from the horizon to a darker blue and then to the actual ship. This is much closer to RL.
