I would say wait just a bit, at least until 1.2 comes out. The bugs aren't earth shattering but they are annoying. Like missing with your torpedoes all the time because you cannot get an accurate speed indicator, and enemy destroyers that are much too tame (even for the Japanese whose ASW ability was poor).
I have been sunk more often on the surface than underwater.
I will say there were some excellent Mods for Silent Hunter 3, the Grey Wolves Expansion (GWX) in particular that really enhanced that game. Some of the changes done in Grey Wolves were incorporated into the SH4. I am sure they work on SH4.
But if you like Sub games, you like SHIV. Its fun now and it will get better once they squash the bugs.
The only last point is while there are 6 classes of subs (+plus the sub-classes), I'm disappointed by the missing of the Narwhal class.
