Maybe it's because I'm afunctionality type guy ... but these didn't look all that special....
1) Yes .. snowy backdrop - always looks nice - but other games have had such for some time and better looking ?
2) Water - reflections looked better than SH4 - but otherwise it looked inferior to some of the w-clear work.
3) Sub wake, bow, propellers - not good - no wake down side of sub, propellers wake is still that horibble frothy mist - completely wrong IMHO, bow wake - not as bad but suffers from same mist / froth effect.
4) Sea colour still not to my liking - reminds me of unmodded SH3 in terms of the pure base colour.
5) Is that snow I can see on the DD next to the sub ? If so -nice touch... agree with comments from others about wanting a build up on the sub - but suspect this is a big ask of the devs.
And before anyone jumps on me .... I'm not someone who is always looking to fault something new ....but neither am I likely to say "that's great" if, in the context of what other games are doing and what the community really wants, things are clearly not as good as we would like or reasonably expect.
Maybe they're just leaving "ample" room for modding again
