16 km universe in GWX?

Mine does fine in port and such but when ships explode it drops fps a little, when a takner explodes and sinks however and theres alot of smoke, I get a big drop when looking at the ship. But other than that (even in convoys) its fine. Although mine doesnt have reflections off of the water

Yes, that's a shame because the reflections are rendered exquisitely. I have the same loss of frame rate for direct views of kills inside of ~ 1000 m, which is too bad because that's most of them.

I joked with my teenager recently that Dad picks up out-of-date games at a discount because he's at an age where a 6-year lag in software tech doesn't register as being behind-the-times.

I gather from comments that the water rendering in SH4/SH5 is amazing, but SH3 is more than good enough for this old fart.

Oh Id love to get a better computer if just so I could run SH3 smoothly with all other wave mods and such. And have reflections and beautiful framerates

But on top of that , I want SH5 to play smoother than ever too. Then Ill be happy, honestly though, SH4, im not so sure about, at least stock, the water doesnt look all that good to me.

By way of update, it works pretty well with 16k universe, but does grind down to very low FPS in periscope and free cam views of convoys. Oddly enough, the Uzo view is fine. But with my older machine, the frame rate wasn't that great to begin with, so I can tolerate the extra loss. Thanks for the feedback.

From BdU: We are not in the habit sending ells out free of charge to the Allies, clearly your the enemy as you use the word torpedo which we do not recognize. There for we would be more than willing to sink you free of charge.
