Hi Lady. I think thermal layers were modelled into SHIII? After playing SC for long time I learned the use of sound "bending" in water is very useful. As af few have pointed out, going more shallow and increasing distance may fix it since your sub can be in a "shadow". I have tried this before and it does work. Hanging around at great depth all the time makes it easier for the enemy to find you by "passive" senors. Of course when the go "active" and start pinging you rely on their accuracy in aiming the ASDIC-transmitter. Keeping a small area of your sub (preferrebly the stern) against the transmitter decreases his ability to recieve an echo strong enough to detect you.

Hope it helps. /Per :P
