I'd love to go back to SH3, if it wasn't for one thing...

SH4 has better graphics, but meh. I play at 100%, no external views. Unless I'm attacking a lone merchant, I don't stick around to watch the pretty explosions. So this it's just eyecandy, no substance.

SH4 has American subs, SH3 is German. I like playing the loosing side, since it means things should get more difficult later on... not easier. I don't spend too much time on the moral side of things, since the morality of it occurred over forty years before my birth. Can't say what would've happened if I was born in Germany around 1920.

I can't seem to get a good a grip on the SH4 TDC as I had on the SH3 TDC. Probably since I seem to get lazy on SH4.

All those bad points are negated by one simple thing: The Fatigue System. I feel disconnected from the crew if I simply disable the fatigue... and manually shifting the crew around was too much babysitting for my tastes. My toilet paper reserves got awful low in the SH3 days, if you catch my drift

.

Now, if we ever get SH4 to the point where we can model the Atlantic... I'll switch oceans without a complaint. Or if Ubi returns to the Atlantic in a future sim. 'Til then, I'll be happy sailing warm waters.
