SH4 Questions For SH4 Players

Right guys, just a few quick questions for the SH4 players if you would be so kind.

Basically I wonder would you be willing to share your thoughts on the S-Class submarines in SH4? These submarines from the few times I have played with them seem to take a tremendous amount of time to recharge their batteries. Though they seem to have much better underwater endurance at higher speed than the larger US subs do.

An S-class can stay under well in excess of 12 hours travelling at 3 knots. Just I am really confused as to why recharging takes so long... is this historically accurate for that class of boat?

And in the main, why do you play as an S-class?

The next thing I want to discuss is weather transition... from what I can tell weather is a let down in both SH3 and 4... Now I know from experience that weather in SH3 is based on a timer... and when you save and exit and reload that timer resets presenting a kind of game exploit in effect, enabling you to have perpetually good weather (when you have it). What system does SH4 employ if different?

Final question I have is where are the best areas in SH4 generally speaking... that is without taking mods into consideration... the player can go to see some action? And is there some kind of visual aid for this... similar to the pullout map in GWX which shows the convoy routs and areas of high naval traffic?
