So I've heard so much praise for SH4 lately that I decided to reinstall it and give it a more serious try. While it's certainly an enjoyable game despite... a couple things (why does the ******* stopwatch pop up when I go past TC 512), I have to say I had no idea I would miss the "walk around in your sub" feature as much as I do.

After getting used to climbing up and down the ladders in the conning tower, it just feels so silly to hit F3 and magically find yourself safe down in the command room when under attack. I hit U and I'm instantly teleported to the UZO (or whatever it was called in the Silent Service). I miss coming under fire in SH5 and having to dive down the ladder as shells whistle past and the enemy destroyer bears down on my sub at full steam.

ETA: for how long has the crew been killable? Or are they asleep?

The praise for SH4 (and SH3) is based solely around the fact that they are complete games - all boats, the whole war, years of modding behind them...things like that. Once I can play SH5 I'm sure I will, and have fun doing it. People who praise the older games want something that lets them have what they consider a complete experience. People who praise SH5 like all the new things that it brings to the table.

I long for the day when the older games are truly not needed.

Oh, and a question: Are the engines a lot louder in the the engine room than the rest of the boat?

Yes they are , and quieter if you close the hatches .

Great shots! You must have taken a lot of screenshots to get some lightening in them.

BTW, when and where did your watch crew get the binoculars?

Not a lot of screenshots to capture it but a lot of pausing (Backspace) when hearing thunder until I got a couple.

The watch crew is from Heretic's excellent MightyFine Crew Mod found here

Where I can find the diesel smoke mod? It wasn't on the downloads tab when I have searched. (5 mins ago).
