One thing I remember from SHIII that was so immersive was entering the wonderful ports and watching the harbor traffic go by as I made my way to the dock. However this experience is almost completely ruined by they overdone reflections on the water. Now dont get me wrong, the reflections of the dock cranes and other objects looks really great. Its the reflections of the land masses that look terrible. Here is an example:

See where I circled the choppy relfection of the beach on the water. The reflections actually crawl up and down the shoreline as the sub rolls and pitches. The effect is ABSOLUTELY ugly, rediculous and totally unrealistic. This is obviously a bug in the game or a product of my lovely x1950 card but since both arent going away I was wondering if the effect could be removed entirely?

Can you reflections modding gurus help me out? Are others having this issue?

Thanks in advance.
