I actually like the campaign layer

Another way of getting the same effect is to remove the thermal layer effect completely or reduce it's protective effect. A reduction has been applied to the mod.

If the thermal layers should be placed at 450 feet it would likely be suicide to dive under that layer if using the subs in this game

Yes! I'm considering this. It's easy to fix.

I already have to undertake tactical descisions with my mod.
There is no doubt it is quite dangerous to be in shallow waters with this mods settings.

I haven't really deepdived in to all the historical aspects of the shipping routes etc. of the pacific ocean.
But I'm quite happy to use these setting provided in this thread.

Remember that I released this mod so that other users of this forum could have the oppurtunity to enjoy the settings i've worked with.

If someone would like to read through histroy books and make a more historically accurate mod than this one - that would be great. However, I'll just continue developing the mod I've started at here.

PS! There are probably many people here who would be quite grateful if your history knowledge could be applied to a mod - so why don't you start by creating a new one!
