Good Morning...

Stalking the forumz here for a few years now, like a good ol' boy - aside from the fact that you can walk around in SH5 in the boats and on deck as well as some updated graphics - what are the main differences engine-wise between sh4 and sh5? Would it, from a modding POV not be more rewarding to just take some improvements from SH5 and incorporate them into SH4 than to fiddle around with sh5? SH4 has whole sufrace fleets by now playable, reimports from SH3 and all the hard work done there is thus not "wasted" per se and so forth, even Cold War subs have been added and are working more or less - I, and from reading here for some time, a lot of others incl. popular mods/modders, could very much so relinquish the ability to walk about the sub and having to "prep-talk" our minions into performing essential tasks if that meant the game experience as a whole would be expanded - more boats, environmental effects / conditions / more dynamic campaigns et all...

So, basically my question was / is are there any groundbreaking changes in the engine and thus how the game operates in SH5 compared to SH4 which make all the hard-working modders efforts here worthwhile or would it be more rewarding and/or possible to put those excellent efforts into SH4, from a technical POV with regards to expanding the game as a whole campaign / playable units / enviromentally-wise?
