where are the minefield maps?

[rudeltaktik]

i apologise if this is repetetive... :roll:
could someone tell me where i may find the maps for the minefields that are guarding the entryways to the ports.
i know i have seen them somewhere before, but i have forgotten where and how i came to view them. :damn:

i'd appreciate the help.

they are in the main game folder, not accessible in game . if you have Navimap mod, there is a tga installed that has the minefields

There is a mod that has them in a pulldown from the top in the Nav screen. Not sure which one tho as I just found it in my game yesterday. :oops: I accidentally moved the mouse pointer up to the top of the screen where it causes the map to move and it didn't. Got to looking why and found 3 pulldowns. One being the minefield and subnet maps.

It requires you to manually edit your menu_1024_768.ini but, it definately worth it for the information it easily provides you with in game.....1 being the mine layouts at each port....the other being convoy routes, the rest of the sheets that are included are various charts for calculations....but, once you learn the code you can add whatever draggable images/documents you want....I know there is a map in the milk cow mod of all the milk cow locations and dates that would be cool to add to it.

i read one book about uboats having to follow complex paths to get through their mine fields. i'm not sure what that all meant really. but i felt let down when the mod for minefields i loaded only put them in two places right by the shoreline. i don't know how those mine fields could be called historical, cause they sure wouldn't stop brit subs from doing anything. i never used the fancy maps cause all you had to do was drive your battleship sideways as long as you stayed away from the shallow water of the shoreline. i suppose the real WWII maps of the mine fields no longer exist.

another aspect i recall from my reading was how allied planes would drop fresh mines into the german harbor areas during the night - adding another level of danger to the u-boats going in and out the next morning.
