Special effects from SH3 Missing in Sh4??

Ok now maybe im wrong about this but so far I have yet to see several simple effects that should be modeled in the game. The effects I'm thinking about were found in Sh3 so i dont know why they took them out.

I have sunk several ships and have yet to see any oil on the water as we had in SH3, is there something wrong with my install or is it simply missing? If it is missing then is there a way to script it into SH4. It was a very immersive effect to see the oil slick form after sinking a tanker.

The second thing i have yet to see is the lightning. Now in SH3 it took awhile and several storms but i would see the lightning lighting up the sky. So far even when building a mission i have yet to see one bolt of lightning or even a flash. Again did i miss something or did they remove this as well. Since IL2 1946 is made by the same developer I wonder if we could take the lightning effects and place them in SH4. I'm sorry im a huge storm buff and loved watching a nasty storm and listening to it over the speakers.

The thrid thing, i miss my dolphin friends lol, im trying to bring them into SH4 so they can randomly appear as i had in Sh3.

This is a little off topic but i didn't want to start a whole new post over this question. I decided to remove the plankton and distortion effects from the underwater scenes. I just like having the clean pictures i used to have in SH3 and not to mention that the plankton at night looks horrible on my monitor.

I simply moved a few files that were mentioned in an earlier post to a folder called back up. I'm not sure what the EXACT file names were but i know one was impurities.dds , distortion.dds and a third one.

When i started up the game i instantly felt relieved not to see the tons of yellow spots floating by my eyes but then i noticed the when viewing my sub it constantly looked blury and out of focus. I dont have a screen shot but it almost looked like there was an overlay of the sub on itself. Once i placed the files back in the problem went away. Was wondering if anyone has experienced this and what I need to do to make good underwater shots without all the distortion.

Thanks
