If you can't fix it, anyway to change the color to something that doesn't hide the aircraft...missing alot of "depth perception" on a 2d monitor..makes it worse when their is no definable edges to the "thing" in front of you....

Because right now, next to night, water is the worst aspect of this sim graphically.

If the wave height was upped to 3 feet maybe we get more light on the water?

Now personally I've never flown a ww2 aircraft over water , hell I'm not even a pilot but judging altitude using water as the deck of the terrain maybe as difficult in real life as it is in the game.. the only time I have a problem with the water graphics is when I'm swimming in it HITECH needs to fix it... The water temp in the game is 84 degrees ain't no way it's that warm in real life! Get it together HITECH! :neener: please don't PNG me I've had way too much coffee

+1    As is, there is absolutely no depth perception, air to water.  Can't fight on the deck trying to watch altimeter so I don't take an early bath.  Therefore, I now avoid all combat anywhere near a CV and most shoreline bases.
Player behavioral change due to unplayable features of the game.  Not a good thing.
I agree

Maybe use tropical water colors instead to create some kind of contrast.

Not sure if the light blue water seen at times during twilight is tropical,but that is what I was thinking...

So I'll apologize up front for the language.... but the water here is highlighted pretty well, and with cloud shadows you can actually judge the height above.

But when I go into complete shadow...it becomes featureless once again.

Maybe they just need to up the light level some and not make high cirrus cast shadows..
