I don't know, probably it is matter of experiment with the elevation values and tests.
This year I decided to take a break from SH3.
Everything related is archived, and will rest for year or two.
So, I will not spend big amount of time and brain power for Silent Hunter.
Here, about terrain I can change this elevations table with sh5 one. Just for experiment, to see the result, and because will be quick and easy.
In fact, in sh3.exe have two such tables, the two are identical.
First one is at: 0x530ac0 /or: 00130ac0
And I saw where is used in the code.
Second one, at: 0x5314f0 /or: 001314f0
I don't saw where is used. Maybe is not used.
It is matter of experiment, are it also need to be changed, if I change the first one.
By address of the first one you can search where is used in the code section.
In this function, for example:

Maybe is possible, let's say, to prioritise the underwater and to simplify the above water terrain. If give it more indexes.
Of course, this will require completely new map and elevations table, if now give 208 to the underwater and 48 to the ground:
The most of the world will go underwater (Sci-Fi mod: Waterworld
).
To better understand it, I need to run it through debugger, but I will not.
Maybe is possible, this 601x601 also to be changed, I think, I once saw this somewhere there.
So, probably many things are possible if someone have desire to do it.
