Below 8000/7000 cycles the wave animation becomes very choppy, even though the waves roll with a more natural speed.
There must be a way to gain control of the mesh cycle intervals without reducing CPU speed. So we can have an alternative to this "I am attacking with my rubber duck boat" feeling.

Well, that is the huge storm/waves/no fog graphics of AOD but mine isn't that bouncy anyway.
Strange.
I remember at the time, the wave action was a huge WOW factor for people in the game.
Might have been the first game with them, close if not.
