Bugger, just checked my il-2 stab 6.3 (which i use to set the graphics for il-2) and after setting it to 4 for water, flying and exiting and rechecking it had reset it to 1, so it's not perfect yet, but it's considerably more playable, and i don't really play over water much anyway (prefer the eastern front to pacific, and am usually too busy to notice the quality of the rivers as i'm chasing down a Yak or Lavochkin :-P) so for me personally it's not a huge loss, but just an advisory to others there. Oh, and correcting a typo to the end of my first post, should read "runs a good deal slower with it." not "without". cheers!
