Could you show us a video of this combination, as it's got several votes?
I want to get a few more responses to the poll before I explain anything about them, as I don't want to subconsciously influence people's choices, but once I get some more responses to the poll I will address this question in more detail.

All 3 videos are shot with the same sub in exactly the same weather conditions - sailing at ahead standard directly into the wind at a wind speed of 15 m/s (so, boat making about 11-12 knots into a headwind of about 28-30 knots).
1. Fair enough, that's understandable. In any case eagerly awaiting the final release, thanks a lot in advance.

2. With these boat speed & wind conditions I might in fact lean towards 3 & 3, although with water 3 some of the highest wave tips look a bit chunky (maybe it's just a FRAPS video limitation?). Wind speed being the highest value shown in the game, I feel there should be the occasional "water mountain" to plow into.
