I'm sad I bought SHIV

[ETR3(SS)]

1. The campaigns suck
1.1 You get the same mission over and over
1.2 All merchants are armed
1.3 I know RSRDC fixes that but other things stopped it from making a difference

Stock out of the box, yep the game isn't that great.That's what all the mods are for. And to think, the game was worse when it first came out!

2. I got really bad mod soup

Can't blame that one on the game.

2.1 The Ohio SSBN changed it so the only available torps are the MK-48(great but inaccurate) and the anti ship missile(which sucked)

If I recall correctly it only did that for the Ohio. Sure the Mk48 and TASM replaced a couple of torpedoes, but it still left you at least three to choose from for other boats.

3. The U-Boat mission expansion sucked
3.1 You always end up patroling an area for ever
3.2 Ops Monsoon fixed that but the planes could see you when your 500 ft down

Can't speak much to that. If I wanted to play U boats, I played SH3, not SH4+U boat missions.

4. There's no interior except the conning tower, command room and bridge

I have the feeling that this opinion is brought forward by SH5. That's a part of progressing the series.
