In Real Life, in some cases, the enemy wouldn't even get a reflection (i.e. outside the critical angle). In other cases, it would be a hundred yards off your actual position.
In the game, in my experience, the layer completely protects you from active sonar. Race to get under that layer, but after that you want to be moving quiet (~2kts).

Question:
How do you know:-
a) If a layer exists.
b) Should a layer exist, what depth is it at.
I don't recall seeing a bathythermagraph on my VIIC.
My medical officer probably has a mercury thermometer, but I'm not going to try & wave that out of the window.
" Bernd. We're going to dive to maximum depth. I want you to stay on the bridge & take accurate temperature readings every 5 metres. Don't lose the thermometer - it's the only one we've got."
