+2 on that one. Let's put it this way. If either SH3 or SH4 were alone in the world, I'd be very happy with either of them. I think computer hardware has to progress to the next level before we're able to properly configure wolfpack attacks or some of the more complex parts of submarine simulation. What is much worse than no wolfpacks? Badly executed wolfpacks.

One of the reasons SH3 and SH4 are so similar is that hardware didn't progress much between the two releases. There was an increase in graphics capability and that is what we got.

Now with SH5 we have a "solution" without a problem. Computers are just about the same as they were with SH4 and there are no awesome new capabilities to exploit. Therefore we get more of what we have plus a heaping helping of badly executed "The Sims" and the Sword of Damocles three servers which can be shut down at any time without notice. This is called progress nowdays I guess.
