The ship must have a watermark in the game.
Why is the ship no water mark?

Having a wake behind the ship, Algae on the bottom of the hull, and reflective water when the waves are calm are all things i really hope come in an eventual graphical update if possible.
Indeed!

Fighting in a big vortex should come as an event,
A maelstrom/whirlpool/vortex would be awesome. Just imagine the PvP battles that can come from it or the fun of leading a chasing player through it and due to your superior sailing skills you escape it and leave them to their watery grave (or you double back and shoot them while they're struggling to escape it). For one, a whirlpool could mess with the steering, pulling you to the middle, and it could cause damage or water leakage to ships if they try to fight against it or go too close to the middle.

I don't think ships without motors leave much of a wake, if at all.
They do but it’s less noticeable. Sometimes when dropping sails after being anchored by an island, the ships in SoT leave a perfectly fitting wake but it only lasts about two seconds. Rare should simply have this effect consistently. The other thing that would be amazing is if the ships created bow waves. Every ship or object moving through the water for that matter create a bow wave. The negs should get this sort of effect as well since currently the water doesn’t really react to their presence other than splashes here and there. I will say though, when the megs go for a bite, the water effects there are quite good.

The water effects overall are exceptionally good in SoT, but there are always little details like these that could make it even better! :D
@hotklou9848 Certainly! The water visuals look phenomenal! These small details however would be great to create more immersion. Like the megs, the bow waves and subtle wake should be emitted by the ship itself as to not strain the actual server water. I feel like ghost ships from the flame heard fleet however are perfect without any water effects.
