Yes. The Calais Minefield is a painful experiance... I was running Decks awash on a flank run through the channel at night, after some BDU confusion.. The Radio Traffic Mod is confusing when you have the Same # as a boat mentioned in the reports.. Home port was Wilhelmshaven... got a BDU report to dock at brest.. wrong base.. was on the way back to Wilhelm when I struck atleast one mine. Had to make emergency repairs in Calais, then my base changed to Lorient... so.. I had to turn around and go back..
Seems that running decks awash gave the Mine a sweet spot (I think there may have been two. lol )
Fuel Tank Destroyed, Fore and Aft Batteries Destroyed, Deckgun, Radio/sonar/antenna/periscopes destroyed... 4 crew lost (probably should have lost the watch crew.... as.. when I looked at the external Camera at 49m... there they were still vigilantly manning thier posts.... )
