Hi Skanner,

Like Duli mentioned it wasn't possible in real life until you hit it but you can use periscope to 'cheat' when infiltrating enemy ports. If you're very,very patient and go slow, you should see nets or mines in time to stop and reverse to avoid collision.

Or you could probably use the Mission Editor and load the Campaign_SCR.mis file and print screen shots of the locations of all mines and nets. Correct me if I'm wrong on that point since I'm not 100% sure on that point since I don't do that.

CCIP just posted maps for nets and mines in friendly ports.

I personally like to be surprised. I finally made a successful incursion into Gibraltar at night only to run into nets (no periscope cheat), it took awhile to extract my poor sub out of port; and lucky enemy AI in ports is poor or they would have DC'd me to death for sure. It was very intense and exciting. Got the ol' adrenalin running flank speed, hehe!

Hope it helps

Maybe someday we'll get frogmen to get out and cut hole in nets like I saw in old war movies as a kid, hehe.
