Why was it pinned out in the U.Kmd.Hndb.(1942 edition) that the water should be measured for salinity and temperature to be able to use layers?

And in the same manual/book 6-7 specific places are mentioned where they are more profound then usualy (mentioned are Skagerrak, Kattegat, West coast of Norway, Pentland Firth, the Gulf Stream and Straits of Gibraltar)

Additionally in the book they write:

Quote:
Position finding by ASDIC is very difficult, and almost impossible in:
Shallow water of varying depth(sand banks)
Where there are many wrecks
Narrow bays (Norwegian fjords)

as it is usually not an echo that is produced, but numerous echoes, which make it difficult to keep, but more especially to locate, the target.

The answer is context.

Most of the North Atlantic IS too deep and cold, but obviously there are localities with various circumstances. To make a blanket statement about no reachable thermal layers and apply it to every square meter of the N. Atlantic is over generalization.

That said, it was largely true, and if you have to choose one or the other for the game ( do we still ?) then taking them out is certainly a choice that can be rationalized.

No you cant select specific areas for thermal layers. They are either ON, or OFF. There is no in between. So you have to pick the most correct setting.

I was thinking more in the line of a script that gave a penalty to the sensors of a destroyer asdic or sub hydrophone/sonar if inside an area and the sub is below a certain(or even variable chance) depth.....
