Adjust water clarity: Select this option to make your water more opaque or transparent. 0 is opaque, 20 is transparent. The stock Silent Hunter III setting is 18.

The clearest I've seen/come across was SH3 stock/vanilla.

This is probably underwater visibility, not for transparent view from over the water to underwater.

if we are talking for the 'from over the water to underwater' and not for the underwater visibility (that Tycho mentioned) then ,also, the stock water is not transparent at all

Yes I was indeed talking about the underwater clarity as set in SH3 Commander.

So it has no effect on AI.

Thanks for the answers.

It's no help for me. I always stay inside the boat. Kinda traditional among submariners.

Me too, lol. I mean that making the water the most transparent possible, you can use your periscope and careful navigation to your advantage when passing near a minefiled or a net... You can (maybe) see them coming before it's too late...
