Have they?
You know, to be honest, I don't really know if ubisoft has worked it into their programming engine. I like to think that the game is realistically enough rendered with regards to ocean currents or convection heating or whatnot to make such a thing as a thermal layer plausible. It is used in SH1, there is even a graph in the control room which shows when the temperature is changing, and you can determine if you have gone deep enough under the jet stream as to be hidden by it. There is no meter aboard any uboat that I have ever studied that showed this information, I guess it's a matter of assumption. But in the real world, it would be and has been a valid tactic of avoiding pursuit by a submarine. But as I said in an earlier post if the HKs are aggressive enough and keep you hooked in their sonar net, well, it doesn't matter anymore the noise your boat makes, they found you.
