BTW, this doesn't mean that it had to be true, but in AOTD ( ) one of the crew would say "Passing a thermal layer, sir"

Nope, I'm not sure 100% one way or the other. I've read that there were ways of checking temperature and even ways of determining salinity. Of all the books and interviews I've read over the years it seems that there are just as many reports confirming thermal layer detection as there are in denying it. Personally, I like the idea of "stumbling" into a layer by chance. But thats just me.

I never played AOTD but SHII had the same type of message.

All I'm looking for is a way to add a little more immersion and suspense to the game. As far as a thermal layer detector warning device I do not have those kind of skills but I'm sure that some of the modders would have an idea.
First things first tho-more testing.
