Waves too big

Nobody is nit picking and nobody is saying that the water isn't the best looking. They are saying the waves are to big and it makes the altitude look wrong. Think of a road and now place a toy car in the middle of the road...Now do you see what they mean? The road won't change if you shrink the road to make the toy car look realistic. Nobody is on about changing the waves, they are on about shrinking them. This would then make the cliffs look as large as they are suppose to and the ships look the right size. I'm sure if they change it you will like it a lot better.

They have probably got bigger fish to fry first though (from any sea) than that

Seriously, if this was such a show stopper it would have been mentioned earlier in the games history, the fact that it has not ... and I'm sure someone will jump in and say it was, means that other areas of the sim are improved so much that we now look at at such nit picking stuff as wave size.

Seriously guys.

I'm still not sure if this thread is a joke or not though?

So, you are saying you could be in a furball, almost got your nail on the Hurri or ME-109 and all of a sudden the wave hight caught your attention and threw you off the perfect kill

I am saying if you want a good sim then you should aim to get everything in perspective. The short answer to you question is Yes, simply because I always feel I am flying to low when I'm over water even though I am not. Whats strange is that you should argue over something that would make the game not only play better but also look better.

It is a humorous nit pick, but it does highlight the in-proportional sense of scale. Ships should not be dots, planes should not be pretty much invisible, and I should've gone to spec-savers!

God help us if they modelled Tsunamis!

Look mate, real pilots had that feeling too, it might seem obvious, but the WW2 answer is, fly higher, flying higher has two good attributes, you crash less and stay alive longer and also fight the enemy longer, to be bluntly honest, lingering longer over the sea commenting on wave heights in the sim is Tree stuff.

Its getting old.

I said even when I fly high I still feel like I am flying low because the waves are to big. I'll give another example and hopefully you'll know what I mean. Say you are flying a few thousand ft up in a jet and they built a runway that is the size of the USA you would look as though you were about to land.
