All parts of SH3 runs satisfactorily until I click on the external view graphics with the sub surfaced - SH3's water graphics, that extends all the way to the horizon, slows down the framerate a whole lot on my 9-year old laptop. So I noticed that the water in SH3 is a major framerate-killer for older PCs.
In summary, I want SH3 to run faster in an old PC, especially in the external view with all the water surface showing when the submarine is shown surfaced.
Any ideas?

I would advise you to try my environment mod, that I've made on a PC like yours (old and not powerful, and with an Intel card => problems with reflections on the sea). I have better fps in game with my mod than with others 16 km atmosphere mods.
See in my signature.
