This is why I think the 'new' water is crap. I've been in the SEA racing and some of the maps still have beautiful blue water that you can see objects against.
Generally, the last 2 updates ( the major update, and the one right after to fix the first one -- and didn't completly) left us with some visual difference in terms of distance viewing. Prior to coming into icon range, cons are harder to spot. Alot harder. They have to be much close than they used to, to register.
Also, a bit harder against the new terrain (which I like, for the most part) and definitely harder against the new water, which IMO, stinks, if for no other reason than it's so drab and dreay lookin.
Also, they seem to have increased a haze affect which really irritates my eyes when trying to squint into the distance. During twilight hours (in the game) it feels like flying in a light fog sometimes. Not fun.
