I read in the GWX manual that mines are not supported in the SHIII engine, but I had a rather interesting experience. Surface attacked a convoy for as long as I could tonight, before being driven under by destroyers. After a relentless shellacking, the pursuing escorts stopped dropping depth charges on me. I stayed deep in silent run, about 1 knot, and kept my rudder at 5 degrees (Due credit goes to the member on this forum that posted that! That tactic saved my skinny, grey, cold steel butt!!!!) and took a peak through the obs-scope, when I noticed something funny.... If those weren't depth charges being dropped in the water (depth charges being canister shaped) what were they? They were round and spiny, and black. They looked an awful lot like mines, but if they aren't supported by the game engine, how can that be?
