Good finding, it must be that!
Pity that its geographical position puts it out of U-boat reach

Obviously ther are two different types of parameter chunks for the WaterReflection controller. I wonder if the one with the additional MaxVisDistance parameter, has any impact on the quality of reflections though I don't think so...

I am pretty sure that that flag being checked was the main cause of reflections looking so faint

Amazing

Maybe reflections now are even a bit too strong lol, what do you guys think?

Could you also add some reflections nodes for the sub parts ?

Am I missing something? I thought I had already added those nodes to all the library subparts

That sounds reasonable
