Back to SH4?

[planecrazydale]

Hi all,

Like many others, I purchased SH4 when new, loaded it, swore extensively, and then took it back off my computer.

Now, I have heard that with all the updates, etc, it is a much, much better game and I am thinking of loading it back up. (just to get some Pacific action).

But I was wondering about a couple of things and I thought some of you might know. One of my biggest problems with SH4 originally was things like the periscope and the fact you couldn't put it up in increments, it just shot up full length and you had to adjust the sub's depth in order to put the periscope head just above the waves. Does anyone know if those kind of things were ever fixed?

And the overall environment just never felt nearly as immersive as SHIII, especially after GWX's. It felt kind of arcade like what with the giant flags on ships, etc.
Again, anyone know if things like that were ever fixed?

Now, I suppose I could just load up SH4 and all the updates and mods and see for myself, but I am just soooooo dang lazy!!

Thanks all for any input and thanks as always for such and excellent forum!
