Can we please fix the water?
« on: November 09, 2016, 07:41:28 AM »
This is way too common over the featureless expanse of blue black we call water in the game..



Please add some definition to the water.....waves, ripples.....something to be able to judge height above water so guys don't do this.

+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.

In a CV or PT the current water looks fabulous and immersive. From the air, it's a black hole, and AH2 seas were much more friendly, at altitude.

My guess is, Hitech is aware of and working to correct the problem.

I think the water now reflects the environment more than just being a texture mapped to a polygon. It might or might not improve.

a cheap fix that would help is having the icon disappear when in water.  also expanding the reflection from the sun to a broader more diffuse appearance.  maybe changing the lighting on the ground/water.  Definitely needs some more light.

if i recall correctly, it give your nerves a little jolt from the shock of hitting the water.
