How "watery" is this water to you? Enough or do you expect something more from "abstract map-tier water"?

The dull and boring WW2 era maps are an aesthetic that I have enjoyed in WW2 strategy games, for what is worth.

All I mean by the 'doesn't matter' point is that there is not a high bar for visual effects and that the GUI not be compromised in the process. It appears you're aware of that already, so don't get hung up on how it looks too much; dull and boring isn't necessarily bad in this case.
