I'm a huge fan of HOMM2, and 3, and was really excited about Heroes 4 but it just wasn't fun to play.
Almost everything about it seemed like a letdown. The monsters all looked funny, the interface was clunky, the towns looked silly and less inspired, and the battles were just bad (especially the sieges). I loved and still love the music though.
Whether or not it is more tactical or strategic is irrelevant I find, since what matters is whether or not it's fun, and Heroes 3 is still superior.

I feel sorry for H4 Behemoths, if that's what they are. It's freak mutation.

n00bs opinion...
I always knew the rude and impolite part of me came from the Swede side of the family...
Anyway, I don't think it's possible to say that "this game's better than that", and to me, this applies especially to H3 and H4. Choosing between the two is like choosing between my sister's chocolate cake and my mother's cream cake - it's just impossible, and if I have the opportunity, I will choose both 
It's been too long since I played the games consciously and properly to make an in-depth analysis of the two (besides, it's too late here), but I'll just skim the surface kinda, to let you people have something to build a discussion on. It won't be good, but it will be better (at least, more constructive) than Stiven and csarmi throwing insults at each other...
H3 has some marvellous features. Like the unique hero abilities, all the strategical choices in regards to resource management, a.t.s.c.i.r.t. creatures, the extreme balance of it, etc.
But it also has its bad features, like chaining. It's been discussed if wether or not day 1 rush is a bug. It wasn't changed in H4, so it's clearly not a bug (and it was there in H2, and for all I know, H1 as well). Chaining however, was cut away after H4, and that's good, imo, since it kinda undercut the realism of the game. Sure, it's fantasy, but still...
H4 also has it's strenghts. The skill system is way superior to the one of H3, heroes in combat is good, several heroes pr game is good, creatures able to walk around without a hero, the new quest and event system (though more difficult, it's better), etc.
That they removed the heroes unique abilities is of course a scandal, but it's possible to cope without it. The balance may have been somewhat disturbed, with the overpowering of GM Necro, but apart from that, a.f.a.i.r., the game's pretty balanced.
It should of course have been allowed to be finished properly before being released, but it wasn't. Which of course is a shame, but after the extensive patching, it's if not healed from all the bugs, so at least it's got better.
As for difficulty levels, combat startegy, logistics, and all that, I'm a n00b, so I won't go into what I don't know anything about. All I can say is that they seem pretty similar in both games to me...
So, to conclude, when someone asks me which Heroes game is my fav, I usually reply H2, since it was the first Heroes game I played, and the one I still play the most. 'Cos deciding between H3 and H4 is just impossible.

H3: excellent appearance of critts and towns, and heroes. mathematical battle tactics and map strategy. stupid adventure map. some disbalancing features.
H4: imroved skill and magic system, all the rest sucks big. completely different battle tactics and annoying map strategy, and repulsive graphics (including towns, critts and heroes, and adventure map)
my pick: obviously h3!
