The water graphics looks fantastic, but how come the waves are so big? Even a 40-gun frigate looks like it's riding a roller coaster and bouncing up & down those "water hills" no matter how nice the weather looks. There's too much ship movement that are caused by the waves, and the waves are too big. I don't believe those ships really move that much with the waves even if they were small, light sloops. The crew looks nice with all the detailed graphics they have, you can see the shadows from the bumps and folds in their faces and clothes, but they don't match the rest of the environmet. It looks almost like those shadows were just printed onto the crew, rather than changing with the light sources that really causes the shadows. Also the sails looks strange to me, they look like they're way too tight, you can see all the strech marks on the edges of the sails but the sails are nearly dead flat. Does anyone else notice these things?
 
There's like a billion of things that need fixing first before dynamic shadows and other useless stuff should be made...
