SH4 vs SH3 UI

Sadly I agree. Your points are exactly what I was thinking when I first ran the game. It's going to take some getting used to, but from what I see, we have less information on screen, with more space taken up and less immersion.

Ive seen a gameplay movie from november 2006 and the log is at bottom left (look like it was modified sh3 menu1024.ini). Look much better than your screens

Cant it be hide somehow somewhere? (i dont know cause i dont have SH4).
Edit: i think it can be easly modified via menu1024_768.ini to be in right place. Dont panic

Hey in your first image the Speed Indicator was larger than the other 2 but in the second it was the same size as the other two. Does that mean that the 3 dials there pop up to a larger size when you hover over them?

That would be a helluva lot like a few SH3 mods eh?

Yeah i HATE the User interface in Silent Hunter 4, i DID just start playing today, but i dont see why they dont keep the same general lay out they did in SH 3.

Is it historical accuracy or something? I guess the Americans just aint as good at designing effective boats like the germans

Yes. The Americans hit F5 to beam to the bridge instead of F4.

Anyway, I guess this is easy to mod.
