This is true. There is also a higher chance that you'll be submerged with your crew still on deck. I seem to get it more in SH4 than I did in SH3.

Better than which SH3 campaign? Stock? GWX? WAC? I agree, RSRD is about as good as it gets, but I like GWX, and understand that the other supermod campaigns are just as good.

In SH4, OM is also very very good.
I was comparing it to stock, and GWX. GWX does have a good campaign, but the objectives are lacking in comparison to RSRD. Now I've only completed one patrol, but I was given two objectives within that patrol. I was also impressed with the Flash messages I received about two possible task forces.

As for OM I think I'll give it a shot.

I've never had that happen. On the other hand, as it was back in SH1, every time I load a game in SH4 the engines shut down and I have to restart them. A very minor annoyance, true, but it doesn't happen in SH3.
I don't know if it was a one time thing, but my next save after that was made from a complete stop.

SH3 has no objectives other than patrol. SH4 is better in that department.

If you like the harbors the way I do it will be a letdown, as there is very little harbor traffic and no locks like in the newest SH3 mods. Beyond that, it's a great experience.
