The sub does not seem to ride the waves?

Well, I will run whatever version of the game plays well. From past experience, UBI/developers are unable to make a subsim to for the hardcore niche that is worth the investment of time without a minimum of 1-2 years of modding work.

Which leads me to say that SH3/GWX2 is probably at its zenith and it looks like SH4 from what I seen so far could do with another year of point mods and total mods to realize its maximum potential.

I don't expect too much of the add-on out of the box. I think if not for the modders, I would simply pass on SH3/SH4 and simply stick with AOD and SHCE. The game play is all there already.

Good question Mark!

The rest of your points are right on target. I am curious to see what 1.5 Addon addresses in any relevant game fixes/issues that where on the Devs short list...if any...speculation on my part. I will fork over the cash and setup a third install...why not.

For editing scene.dat, look for S3D by skwasjer I believe it can handle all types of files from SH4. No more MiniTweaker or Hex Editing needed.
