EDIT CSR Kryssar:
Water as it is is visible but 3rd person view trough vehicle glass blocks surface effect on the water.

@Bogey: In fact, this ticket is a duplicate of yours, but since it has more votes I had to close #5301.

@johncage: They do indeed seem to be related. Marked as such.

It happens in FSX too.
As a scenery modder of FSX, my way to deal it is to separate all texture file with Alpha transparent,name them as"zzz*.bmp" or "zzz*.dds",so the game would render them at the last, and partly fix the similar issue.
No idea if it works with ArmA3, but it's not the ultimate way to fix it

The issue is still persistent, i'm uploading a couple screenshots.
