Its a tough one, the water does indeed have a "liquid silver" look to it. I also find the transpanrency effect seems to lie on top of the reflection effect yet it should be the other way round.
It also lacks the "choppyness" that existed in SH3, I know its the pacific but I don't always feel i'm in the middle of a sea which is important for immersion.
All in, SH3 is a more "immersive" experience than SHIV.....which is a shame considering what can be done with modern graphix cards (i've a GTS 8800).
Oh, and the rain is crap!
