Darn minefileds!

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Coming out of Wilhemshaven and just east of Helgoland I ran into a mine that killed my entire bridge watch team, destroyed my diesels and otherwise made a complete mess of my U-boat. Is there a safe travel lane Im supposed to follow or was this a "British" mine?

If you go to your nav map one of the pull down charts shows where all the mine fields and nets are for each port. When I come out I usually go right down the middle and I haven't ran into no problems yet. Hell, I haven't even seen a mine or net yet lol

Or reading the manual of GWX (page 91 /104).

But that chart dosent extend as far as Helgoland.

Stay well to the East of Helgoland, the Brits mined the area around it heavily with air dropped mines.

There are sneaky minefields NE and W of Helgoland.:nope: I blame the Russians...

Just draw a 50km circle centred on the island, plot your course outside of that zone and you can trundle back 'n' forth un-mined.

Good to see you back WS - how was the real navy?
