I think bert8for3 said it best, with weighing the pros and cons.

Two of the things SH2 actually got right, but are lost in SH3:

1) Awesome fog, with drifting patches and shadows of ships coming and going at varying distances.

2) The chance for a diesel to break down after running too long at high speed, requiring several hours at 'Ahead Slow' while the damaged engine was repaired. Nothing more frustrating than having the convoy in sight, and then having to let it go due to mechanical problems.
