if IL-2 1946 can do it...

we need to have this kind of water effect. can you imagine the parts of england's coast with a muddy look based on what is seen from 0.26s ?? that and with a cloudy day, and definitely some kind of river banks, i wouldn't care much about some of other possible landscape shortcomings

would look really great

IIRC the actual water in CoD was announced to be not 'final'.......we have to wait!

I found these pre-release screens on Fubars site:

Opacity at the shore. The darker bits further out are cloud shadows I think.

Maybe in a couple of years...

Yep, for true UK coastline water, it needs to be; a) Brown, b) Opaque and c) Full of sewage and industrial effluent.

Believe me, I wish this wasn't true, but uk water isn't a beautiful sapphire turquoise. Ever. :(

Obviously never spent much time on the south coast.

No but I have and the water is full of s**t down here..fact

That may be true of Portsmouth, but to say that the waters of the UK are never clear or full of colour is just plain incorrect.

you only get brownish water where there are extensive sandbanks more commonly known as beaches. also theres an area where sand deminishes and further depth and rock take care of the colouring to produce darker patch areas at relativly shallow depths.

presently we can fly good over water. i hope its the same when they implement the intended translusence and fill it with high poly submarines.

Looking at the video I'm not sure that would be close to real world.

The angle of impact has to be very shallow and I didn't think the angle was be shallow enough in the video.

When there are waves on the water surface it doesn't seem likely you'd get a lot of ricochets. Most would just be absorbed by the waves.

A nice flat smooth pond surface at a small angle I would think different

The COD has a much improved physics software, so it could probably be done. I doubt you'd see anything close to the video.

Looks like fun for sure, and that water around those isles is awesome.

obviously i don't have the degree of acquaintance in depicting real physics through a simulation as you display, though i'm better at that in RL physics solving; although my point is about the graphical shores recreation on this one

i do realize that the physics engine underlying CoD is a powerhouse, i just hope it does come to surface on interactivity and graphical terms so anyone can see it. immersion arises from that i'd say

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

cornwall had lovely blue/green water but that was in the 80's, not been since maybe still nice.

[furbs]

Forget about the sea color!! the one thing we cant not argue over is the color of the Thames...it has NEVER, NEVER, been the color it is in COD. :-D

[Doc_uk]

IIRC the actual water in CoD was announced to be not 'final'.......we have to wait!Just about everything in this game, is not final:rolleyes:

[=FI=Scott]

I've lived in Kent or near the north east coast one way or another all my life and to say that the sea is this colour or that just doesn't work. It changes dependent on weather conditions and can do that very quickly. its unrealistic to expect the game to do that but there are areas (Thames estuary seems relevant here) that have common characteristics (silty) that could be done better.

I have sat on tops of the Cliffs in Dover on a summer afternoon and the sea was such a vivid shade of blue if it were replicated in the game everyone would call it unreal, go up to Capel le Ferne and its a different colour there and go the few miles down to Folkestone Warren and its deep green. True nature is currently beyond what any game can accurately portray for the time being at least.

[Dano]

Good God, has everybody around here lost all semblance of a sense of humour? Sheesh.:rolleyes:

When it comes to people getting picky over colours and saying they are incorrect and being completely in the wrong, then yes, it's beyond a joke.

We don't believe you.

Your constant CoD bashing leaves us with one conclusion in your posts unfortunately and none of it points to any humour anymore.

Using the "I was only joking" excuse when your trolling (and others) is uncovered is quite pathetic, its time to say nothing if you have no input other than
misdirecting those that would not know any different.


Here's some pics showing blue and green colours of water in Summer.
