Thermal Layer Mod...

Skanner · 04-01-07, 06:52 AM

The thing that i really like in sh4 is the thermal layer...
that could help to evade destroyers..., and could be more near to real situations...

I would ask to mod developers a mod that implement the thermal layer in sh3.

Should be very appreciate if it will be added in the next GWX patch.

I havent had much opportunity to use it yet myself
but I believe there is a default thermal layer in sh3
if you play using the current version of SH3 Commander

You might talk to someone thats used Commander a bit
more than I to find out the details though.

Already done - it's included in SH3Cmdr.

Wow nice segue! :rotfl:

And it does work very well.

The SH4 developers have taken several of the ideas conceived by our talented modlers and incorporated them into SH4.
This thermal layer idea is great. It may or may not be there, and the depth will vary when it is present. You have no way of telling, just as the WW2 skippers had no way of knowing.

Not sure about early war subs and U-Boats but in reading about late war sub operations in The Pacific they certainly had a bathythermograph they used to measure and monitor temperatures outside the hull. Often they'd know in advance what to expect because they'd be diving in that area before a contact was made.

Thermal layers are where two layers of different temperature water meet. The depth that they meet at varies. If you find one and get under it, it throws the ASDIC off and helps you to lose your pursuers.

Hi JScones... can you explain that please ?

What you done to have them ?, i am not user of SH3Cmdr.

Many thanks in advance...

Redwine · 04-02-07, 09:24 AM

@ JScones.... sorry, found.

From SH3Cmdr readme...

"Simulated thermal layers - by Hemisent.
Randomly adjusts active/passive listening device values to simulate the impact of thermal layers. Editable through 'Randomised events.cfg' located in your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder."

Will be so interesting to have an atenuation factor like into SH4.... i am not sure if a file migration is posible....

This mod is excellent!
Thanks a lot Jaeson!
I was attacking a convoy just outside The Straits of Gibralter and experianced the feeling that the boat would not sink and was being pushed up, I was trying to evade an escort at 20 meters, and that my boat was moving right to left as the tide pushed it.
There is so much going on there,The Straits, that it is a totally unreal place!
