Mod idea for you - water surface not transparent

As you probably know, there is a nVidia MMX cards bug. A bit of description from another thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...04246&page=2):

It's also the reason I hardly ever take any screenshots, as they look ugly and unrealistic. It also makes very difficult to see if a ship is sinking or not, cause you always see whole the siluette (spelling wrong, but I dn't know the proper).

But that has another very interesting side effect - as my computer doesn't have to render the water, it uses much, very much less of its CPU/RAM and is able to run the game. If I had a good card, I could not play the game, as then my computer would never run it. So if any of you has too weak machine, just buy nVidia MMX card and you'll finally get it.

PS Luckily when under water it's not transparent, it's only the surface that is invisible. So when I am submerged I can't see ****, and that is as it should be. Last patrol I experimented with water clarity and played once with '20' setting (very clear) and that's funny - at night while raising the scope I see the ship _better_ before its eye surfaces (the underwater ship part, of course) than over surface, if it's night. But I came back to '0' setting (water becomes like mud) so that it never tempts me to abuse this bug.

The idea is: Is that possible to make a mod that makes water surface not transparent for those who - like me - suffer from the MMX bug? I don't hope for seeing the waves and all this stuff, I would only like to not see whole the ships, but only the surfaced part of them...

I hope I made myself clear. The language is a barrier too often to express what I mean. :|
