You were lucky then... I`ve made some fortunate patrols in the area, but on the other hand... three times I`ve been killed by a mine. The one case that was just enough was after LONG battle against convoy`s escort. It lasted for about 9 hrs of gametime ( and about 3 hrs of RL ). Finally, damaged and after hitting a bottom due to the flooding, exhausted, I managed to escape. And just few miles away Ka-BOOM !
That`s why I avoid minefields. I know it`s just a certain risk but such death is just pain.
