Btw, did you intentionally pick a chaos knight from Warhammer for your sig or did you just think it was a cool pic? I'm just curious.


Back to OT. Imo, Sh4 isn't necessarily missing things that sh3 has, but it's missing a lot of stuff that GWX has. I know what you mean, though.
My biggest complaint would be lack of U-boats. It's still a fun game but it seems too easy for a subsim. The aircraft are way too easy to kill, way too plentiful and really really bad shots. The crew voices, while nice, are kind of repetitive and robotic after a while.

Somehow, despite the environment enhancements and graphics, it feels too much like a game. Not once have I had the urge to sit back on the con or in my bunk and read a little from a good book at 1x while enjoying the sounds of the ocean, and occasionally panning the camera to enjoy the view. I suspect that may be because I always studied the Battle of the Atlantic, though. It's a better-known theater, and perhaps that is what seems out of place?

Picked it as I play a Chaos Chosen on Warhammer Online, and besides, the Chaos guys are just so darn cool. :p

Really? This thread will no doubt provoke the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth. Accordingly, it would seem right at home on GT.

I like English muffins over bisquits. There is more knooks and crannys to hold the butter and jam.

I think it's the engine noises. The boats in Sh3 have this loud engine. You feel like you are flanking. SH4 boats are too quiet even at flank and on the bridge.

I think this is why people say they can't get into SH4 and they don't know why. I think the quiet engines have a subtle subconcious effect.

I prefer white mulled wine to the red one, but either goes if it's the only one served.

Almost as natural a choice as picking SH4 over SH3(I uninstalled SH3 months ago)

sorry conus... not only is this the wrong forum, but this topic has been discussed ad nauseum and usually results in a locked thread
