I think the atlantic needs a greener water. All those look pacific as opposed to atlantic oceans.

Also this is meant as positive criticism, i found the water in both Sh4 TMO and RFB mods way too blue and ended up going back to vanilla because water just does not have that kind of velvety blue/purple colour look.

So my advice for anyone making water mods for SH5 is to tone it down because water can start looking highly synthetic when too bright colours.

And actually i think the vanilla water in Sh5 is pretty good and always looks realistic except for the waves in storms.

yes, atlantic water in the sun has some little green/cyan influences...you see it, when the waves are breaking on top of them, where the water becomes very thin...and shiny. its more cyan in it...not the heavy dark blue.

even here are some clouds, the water color is almost the same as in clear sky. and you can see the cyan in it...especially in the lower corner, where the stern wakes are...
