Nothing in this game irritates me to that extent. If it did, I wouldn't be playing it, it's just a game/sim. If docks are a few feet off the water, it would make sense that they are harder to see until you're up close. Now, if you are up close and still cannot make out the docks (night time not included), then there's some type of problem.

Yeah, It's not a show stopper or anything. I was actually wondering if it ever got fixed. Ducimus really explained it best and I checked it out last night in a way, so it's a way the game prioritises rendering objects. I have successfully raided ports without this problem but never realised that I was close enough to the docks that there was no apparent problem. Now that I know what it is, I'll have to make sure that my aim is sound if I can't see the docks.
