The whitecaps are active with water=3 and water=4.
But I must say I do not see any major quality difference between the previous and last DLL's. Maybe the global seawater rendering feels better.
The whitecaps effect is good in both cases and visual illusion from above is perfect.
The last DLL's have better smoothed the costline. I agree that the brownish effect is visually disturbing on the sea coastline. This effect should stay to show the beach gently dips in the sea, but the colour should be less brownish and also much less saturated or less strong on the coast line.
For rivers and swamps the colour is more acceptable but again less contrast is necessary.
To be perfect there should be no effect were the beach abruptly dips deeply in the sea.
I use mainly the Guadalcanal maps.
