yeah i preordered 2 weeks ago after buyin into to all the hype but ive just cancelled it. i think the last post really sums it up well. SH3 out the box started borin me after just 2 or 3 days, it wasnt until NYGM and grey wolves came along that i got back into it. why oh why couldnt the devs have looked at the what the mod dudes have done and try to incorporate some of the ideas ito SH4 for example this 8km visibility nonsense.

SH4 sounds more of a "game for for casual player" than a "sim for sub fans".
why cant it be both? it seems the selling points are the "hollywood style graphics" and the ability to take part in sea battles. sorry to say but if i wanted that i would just buy battlestations midway or pacific storm or whatever. nowhere in any of the dev videos was any improvements in the AI mentioned. disapointing.

no doubt il get this "game" eventually, il just see what the mod gods come up with first.

so smoke bein modelled over the horizon is so hard to do in 2007, yeah right. maybe if they had spent less time modellin sailors uniforms and facial features (who really cares about that stuff apart from maybe some 10 year olds) it couldve been
