Nice option with Commander, if you don't like it, just roll back Commander when exiting the game.

Set Cmdr to its maximum (20) and you've got water the equal or perhaps even clearer than stock

I have tried many water mods but I'd say that the best is Krillers water, it's a little merky but can still see your boat relatively well, IMO, more realistic!

Please be advised, (nothing against Kriller at all meant) ... just a heads-up.

Using the Kriller water mod on top of GWX will likely remove the Moon reflection on the water and possibly bring back the old "sky dome vortex" bug.

The water opacity is tough to adjust as far as the GWX mod is concerned... due to the individual traits of different monitors.

Underwater opacity may be reduced in GWX 1.04 by a couple of points, though I have no intention of going crazy with it.

I have had no problems with this in GWX, still have moon reflections & no "Sky dome vortex", these are only the 3 Env colors, if you are using JSGME try it, if there are problems simply uninstall! Can get here:

Thanks guys, In the end I installed SHCommander again and cranked up the thingy to '20'. Can see (within reason) the bottom and depthcharges as I got hammered sailing through the channel in '39. Very out of practise, me. Loosing my boat in the first month of the war...
I still don't get if you're meant to run the game from the commander thing, or just apply the settings then open the game as normal? Doesn't seem to make any difference either way...
