This is where I find myself constantly drawn back to SH3.I feel like the waves and the way the boat handles in the water are better than SH4.When I blow ballast in SH4 the boat comes to surface and then rides a bit underwater sometimes causing me below deck again.In SH3 the boat rockets out of the water and then crashes down with this huge wake(never see a huge bow crash in Sh4/5)) that nearly comes over the bridge and is accompanied by what seems better bow wave crash sounds.Example is below which shows how good SH3 was(is) and begs the question....wtf happened?Can we,as Petersen is trying,just move all the water/wave parameters and ship parameters over?

EDIT.....just reinstalled RFB and it now has bow wave crash and huge spray over the boat.I have no idea why it works sometimes and not others.Great mod either way!!
