I'd love to see a bit more visual effects added to the ship interaction with the water. When the ships are moving it would be awesome to see the churned water at the bow of the ship (called a bow wave) and a bit of a wake behind the ship.
I know this was probably thought of and shelved for time or even because of optimization problems, but I would still love to see it added someday.
There was another thread about this some months ago, where the idea was refuted because realistically, a wake of that sort wouldn't be created by these kinds of ships in real life, since they weren't fast enough or powered by motors, or something along those lines. Feel free to do a search for the thread - I'm certain the word "wake" was in the title.
Obviously I'm not asking for a speedboat wake, because that's ridiculous. But the boats in the game move fast enough to have some kind of interaction with the water. Heck, even a canoe moving at 5 mph will create a small bow wave and gentle wake.
