Thermal layer is about 170 feet in SH4... if you turn off the Time Compression and dive you'll hear your Diving Officer tell you when you've reached it. There's also thermal layers deeper too.

Hey, and that tactic with the circular (full rudder) path really works? I can't imagine it would...after all, here's the problems I see:

1/ you never leave the scene of the crime this way...there's more chance that even if you lose them for a spell, they'll likely find you again due to the proximity.

2/ DD's don't leave either....at least not before you have to surface for air or your batteries finally run out.

The protocol is to NOT deviate from a straight escape... unless you need to lose them again and are in the patch of a direct DC run. Once you manoeuver your sub into an escape bearing, go deep, go silent. Best escape bearing is the one that exits at 180 to the DD (and keeps you as small a target as possible in his active sonar).

Other comments on the circular / full rudder escape route?
