SH4 - what engine improvements? (no flames!)

MarkShot · 01-28-08, 11:30 AM

I am playing AOD, SHCE, and SH3/GWX at the moment. I have SH4, but have not bothered installing it.

I would like to ask what game engine (simulation portion of the game) improvements does SH4 offer over SH3? For example, someone told me in another thread that SH4 provides an in game implementation of thermal layers. This is the type of stuff I am asking for.

I am asking for two reasons. First, I am in the systems business and loves computers, games, and interfaces. I've beta tested well known games and at the moment am even a part owner of a small independent game company. So, game engines fascinate me. Second, of course, I like to play subsims and I am trying to decide if I should make room in my life for yet a fourth WWII subsim. (I already own and play SC/DW and various versions of Harpoon.)

PLEASE, no flames and personal attacks on those who play SH3 and/or make mods for it. My question is a technical question and I want technical answers.

Thank you.

PS1: Since I want technical answers and not "Which game do you like better?", I have skipped searching.

PS2: Mods, if the subject is too difficult for the forum to handle, then please delete the thread. I do not want to be the source of trouble.
