First of all I want to say thanks to the great forum and all the modders!!!!
I have been reading this site for manny years but only just registered.
SH3 is a great game and with mods like GWX itīs close to perfect.

Thatīs why I want to ask about two improvements to the game:

1) Waves in harbors seem way to big. Even during storms the water inside a harbor is flat.
Is it possible to reduce the wave size inside harbors? (i mean mostly the waves you can see along the docks)

2) During storms the bridge comes sometimes under water. The crew seems to stand there totally un bothered and you can see through the wave like it was cristal clear water.
Is it possible to blur your vision (like after shell impact) and have the crew duck down (like the crew does under deck after explosions)

These two things would bring the game even closer to perfection!!

I think things like that aren't possible, just limits in the game engine.

Welcome aboard

Both are not possible AFAIK
Game limitations
Water is treated the same all over and no exceptions made for being in port\behind an island or anything else

Welcome aboard Kaleun Flypatcher :arrgh!:

There are certain limitations enforced upon us all by the game....the only method I am aware of for wave heights is via SH3 Commander and that is for actually raising them :hmm:
The clarity/opacity of the water can also be darkened using the same software programme.
No-one to my knowledge has yet modded the crews reactions to water, unlike gunfire :nope:

I do recall that the dev team orginaly intented to make the crew duck for large waves in the Q&A when the game was still under development. But it never made it into the game.
