What do you wish they brought from SH3 to this game?

The GWX team!

Seriously, I wish they had brought some of the attention to detail. Clickable things inside the submarine, standing at the map table and seeing the map, more interactive crew members.

I think that Tater makes a valid point. As an overview though, you really can't compare the war in the Atlantic with the war in the Pacific. The dangers were the same in many ways, but the intensity of the Atlantic war makes Silent Hunter III a more dramatic game to experience.

Well to answer the question of the topic thread...

I wish they had included a "Return to base" button.

Return to Base option.

Maybe it's in there and I missed it but sailing all the way back to home port in the huge friggin' Pacific is Zzzzzz

Glad to see my post was well recieved.

I too would like to see a RTB option (as stated above) however I think I would only use it in times of despair, such as having my engines wrecked, or the rudder falls off.

Don't get me wrong. I really like what the modders have done for the game so far, and it's only been a few months. SHIV wouldn't be as great as it was without the modders, and all their fine work. I don't have the time, energy, or dedication to do it, but if a team like those who did GWX would get together, give it a couple of years, and I think they could make this game very impressive.

Getting a bit annoyed about that "click the bridge icon to-see-your-desktop". Haven't had nearly as many CTD's with SH3 as I've had with SH4

I recently installed the latest vid drivers for my card (might be a beta) and it seems to have helped the few lockups I was getting in exterior/bridge views when a lot of ships were nearby.

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately, reinstalling the graphics card drivers won't fix this issue. I've had these excatly same kind of CTD's now with both ATI and Nvidia cards...

Take a look at this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=121325 might find some help there.

I personally have had no problems with CTD's with a few minor exceptions and that was caused by my firewall, not SH4.

I would go with this as well. Just some small things to make life inside a bit more involved.

Other than that, the game is good IMHO.

i'ld have to say ditto as i just got SHIII and i think it'll be a bit more immersive in that respect than IV currently is

. also, if IV is based on IIIs game engine, why can't these things be added?
