Default Thermal Layer

I'm sure this has come up, but I didn't find anything with search.

Are these modeled in the game?

IIRC, no, that isn't modellled into the game. Don't quote me on that; however, to the best of my recollection of past discussions, thermal layering isn't part of the game code.

Correct. However, thanks to Hemisent, SH3Cmdr users experience pseudo-thermal layers by default.

There was a mod to simulate thermal layers. I believe it was out last summer of fall, tho I can't remember who did the work on it. I have it installed in my Vanilla SHIII but have to search for the zipfile to see who made it. And, it works fairly well.

Just get SH3 Commander2.7-It's included.
Works great for RUB and GWX

Thanks, I was thinking when I went deep, the DDs would lose me, and I wondered if that was it.

Thanks guys!

Default There does seem to be thermal layers at work

Or else it's the DD/DE ASW detection cones. I am in the Med in 1942 in a VIIC and if I dive down to 140-160 meters and go silent running @2knots I can evade even 2-3 destroyers at a time fairly often.

I thought Thermal Layers were modeled somewhat since the GWX manual exhorts captains to dive deep to minimize sonar signature?
