SH4 water is a step backwards from SH3 IMO, looks like jello!! especially at sunrise/sunset, the water is almost black with silver crests, yuck!! The only problem with SH3 water is the pattern of the block rows!

If you want to stare at water. Fill up a glass with it.

It's cheaper.

Nothing much wrong with the video's water. It has that Pacific ocean feel to it. I have several hundred days of staring at the water. That's not counting the time spent watching land based toilets flush.

After checking it out on full screen, here are a few comments:

1.-Water is too crystal clear for North Atlantic and North Sea.
2.-Bow wave and stern wake not better than SH3
3.-Under overcast sky wake too bright.
4.-Sunny day sparkle lacking at a distance (just a little bit).


Over all, very good. Getting close to that perfect rendition of the sea.
A few touch ups and it will be a great environment for SH5.

Note: In murky water on a sunny day late morning to early afternoon. A submarine's shadow can be seen from the air when the sub is less than 30 meters deep.

(that's what happened to U-505, airplanes spotted its shadow)

A little bit (don't know if anyone mentioned it, sorry if repeating): SH5's ocean waves are now made in 3D.

Can you explain what that mean?
In SH3/4 it was also a mesh with xyz vectors, ie. 3D, and the waves were generated by moving these vectors in amount per frame based on a formular using Gerstner Waves or similar.
