Thermal layer in sh3?

Aviv · 04-03-14, 07:39 AM

Dear captains!

Just a small question. Does there exist a thermal in sh3 like I remember in sh4: a certain depth under which the escorts have a harder time to find you?

Thanks for your help.

The best answer I can give you is yes and no. If you use GWX I think they tried to model it in within the limits of the game. Stock-no.
Always best when in trouble to go very deep and silent.

SH3 Commander provides a randomized thermal layer. It doesn't vary during a game session, but each time you load the game it sets it for a random depth over the whole game world.

Actually, this is modelled by SH3 Commander iirc. Not GWX. Atleast SH3 Commander has config files that randomizes it.

What is the effect of the Commander layer? Does it reduce your detection level or eliminate it?

Iirc it pretty much disables the sensors of the opposing warships. It's a game limitation that it uses. You are outside of the detection depth. But you can't know where it is.

Where in the S3C-settings or configs can I find that?

SH3 Commander/Cfg/Randomised events.cfg

Open in Notepad. Second block of entries (visible when you open the file) is headed "THERMAL LAYERS." Like most Commander features, it's pretty much self-documenting. (Shoutout to JSCones!)
