Don't get me wrong, I also started playing SH4 for real again only after OM finally arrived, and finally some terrific visual and audial mods are avaible too to bring immersion in a technical way completely unable to achieve with SH3 engine, but the detailed and long work on campaigns and subs is missing up to now (understandable, the SH3 community now had several more years of time to work on it , and I have no doubt that SH4 will be enhanced and kept alive by the modding community for also several years (better said, at least until SH5 arrives ).
I just hope that SH3 does not suffer for the U-Boat addition to SH4. I consider these games co-equals, but it is apparent that Ubi does not, and sees SH4 as a replacement for SH3. I think that's a very unfortunate decision. I would have purchased SH3½ in a flash if the intent was to equalize the graphics levels of the two games.
