[TEC] Thermal Layers (how things work)

[Peto]

You're spot on about the cloaking device! It's much more effective than 20%.

Lowering the sonar cone will create for for fast and furious action--and that's what many people like--no problem there as far as I'm concerned. Looking at actual sensor platforms from that time, only the allies had sonar capable of deep probing. Shallowing the degree (90-100) and extending the range (2400) has made for some long escapes for me--and that's the style of play I personally prefer.

I'm working with using the layer settings in both active and passive now. It seems (although I've just started testing this) that you can decrease the effectiveness od passive by setting the layer # to 3 or more. At the same time, setting the active to 1 or 2 causes a lot more pinging--they quit using their passive as much. Now it's just a matter of balancing the farging sensitivity. And patch 1.4 seems to have affected that.

Getting there may be half the fun, but as you well know, getting it finished is usually the best half !
