I bought SHIII a long time ago. I never played it beyond the few exercise missions because of StarForce, a lack of time, and a lack of stability.

When I saw SHIV, I thought, "Great! No german voices and maybe they fixed the bugs." However, after a bit of playing SHIV, I'm not so sure.

I'm fully patched and the game crashed on my first campaign just as I entered the patrol area. I had downed one 5000 ton cargo along the way and had just dropped four torps into two unescorted cargo vessels. I was surfacing for a deck-gun kill when the game crashed hard.

I'm also a little less than impressed with sending torps *way* under the keel when relying on the recognition manual.

Furthermore, the tutorials from the manual seemed a bit broken. Things just don't seem right.

So, should I play SHIV, go back and re-play SHIII, or play something like Dangerous Waters for a year or so till SHIV is better?
