Thermal layers do not exist in SH3/GWX etc, however, they can be modelled by reducing the effects of the sensors of the AI. This is done by SH3 Cmdr using the random config, which gets 'shuffled' each time you load the game via the Cmdr shortcut.

Now, I do not want to misinform you, this Thermal Layer model that has been added effectively means that if the random cfg file sets the sensors depth to 150m, you can dive to 160m and never be detected/heard. This is the limitation of SH3's coding.

There is no way to detect Thermals while ingame, however you will know when you have passed the sensors range because the AI can't find you anymore.

People tend to forget about this 'little' Cmdr addition when they say that GWX AI is Uber. Basically, go 1m deeper than the virtual thermal and you're safe.
