So the water looks kind of awful in this game, any mods to fix that?

Primarily, my complaint is that it is FAR too opaque when running the 'TMO' mod, or even with 'ISE'. It's just...I mean, it's too glossy...the boat, when just submerged (at periscope depth) is totally invisible.

While it's certainly appropriate that, in certain weather, this might be accurate. Or, too, parts of the ocean - up here in the Pacific Northwest, the ocean is definitely very opaque. But, then, it's not blue, either, but very, very, VERY grey.

I've never, in any of my travels, seen oceans so completely blue and totally opaque. The stock game seems to actually handle this better than the various mods, but...

...I gotta think somebody has tried to tackle this. Calm seas, at periscope depth, the sub should be rather clearly visible from directly above. And the surface of the sea should definitely not have that overly-saturated blue appearance. In another thread, someone had posted a screenshot that really showed this problem...

...that's just riDONkulous! The ocean doesn't look anything like that!
