Hope everyone has a great day!

Makes no discernible difference as far as how the game plays, and other than the visual improvement of being able to see land masses at much further (and realistic) distances, it makes no negative difference to how the game looks. It's a big improvement over stock view distances, that's for sure.

Ships viewed on the horizon still appear to "rise" out of the sea the closer they get, as it should be.

Unless you plan on launching your sub into earth orbit, there is no concern with this adjustment.

Do enough modding and you learn that, depending on how the original developers made their product, certain creative measures have to be taken to get the final effect you're looking for. I've modded other games - not SHIV, however - and this is true for all of them.
