One thing I miss in SH3

Buoys!

In fact, there are no navigational aids or sea marks at all: no range markers, no buoys, no warning signs, etc.

I wish the harbors had complete pilotage markers: Buoys of all types. Can buoys. Nun buoys. Spar buoys. Buoys with audible sounds (bells, whistles, gongs, horns). Lighted buoys. Hazard markers. Anchorage buoys, mooring buoys, etc. etc. etc. I would like signs posting the various speed limits in different sections of the harbors.

I want seagulls roosting on top of the bouys, sea gull poop decorating the buoys AND pilings, etc.

Trash and oil slicks floating in the harbor and the ways, in the slips; I want the harbor to look even more alive than it does now. Small boats in the harbor, making their way from ship to shore, or other ships. Torpedo nets (with buoys of course).

Of course, the different seamarks in different nationalities' harbors should be appropriate for the time and place. I imagine that the German/English/French/USA seamark systems were different.
