Does anyone know what the water settings are in this game?
For some reason, it seemed that IL2 Pacific had much better water rendering :/

Water settings don't change much at the moment cause the dx10 and dx11 are not fully working. Will be some months away before we see changes in water I would think. A full new graphics coding will be released in the coming week or two so who knows if that will be an adjustment in there.
For now it is what it is, but it will be enhanced in the near future

Water was one of the first things confirmed by a developer on the list of things to be changed/improved.
What they are aiming for is transparent water (with all the light/time of day calculations done for the terrain colors applied to it, so depending on ambient light you might even be able to hunt U-boats in a future patch).
Currently there's not much you can do with it because the effects used are only temporary.

Most recent official mention of any improvements to the water was adding proper shoreline effects, which at the moment don't even exist. :-P
That was mentioned in the "Meet the Team" update. I'm hoping we see it with the next patch.
