Although I have done my share of complaining myself, There are many good things about this sim and IMHO improvements that SH3 does not have.
Crew Management....I also do as someone stated earlier..I load up extra guys into the damage control area before leaving port. AND if you load in a few guys that have good experience or expertise in a certain area (it may cost you some renown), you can then move them into that particular compartment if you wish. This works really well, and as also stated (or asked) I don't know if this would be considered a cheat or not. Maybe someone could tell us. I mean, I'm not sure how many crew these boats could really hold. I found SH3's crew management to be annoying at times, constantly moving guys around. I prefer SH4's managment (or lack of) better.
As far as potential, I also believe if 1.3 is done right and same GWX mod folks go to work on SH4, it's gonna blow SH3 outta the water! My most favorite improvement has to be playing on the good ole USA side. I just had a hard time cheering for the Nazi side after sinking allied boats in SH3! You would have to wonder what some WWII vet's might think about it. Maybe I'm just too patriotic.
