What made me start to wondering about the mines was the fact that eight out of ten of my last patrols have been along the area that the picture on pg 55 shows where the mines are.
I was just wondering if perhaps they had replaced DD's for the mine scenario because of the cpu bog down problem with a thousand mines.
I do know that my patrol 10 in November/December 1939 the DD's have appeared in large numbers along the coast. they were operating in fast criss-cross type sweeps. Those buggers were coming at me from three different directions at once & I had one heck of a time staying out of their way...lol.. At one point I was between two convoys that were going in opposite directions. I was completely surrounded by DD's from both groups. I really have no idea how I got out of there.
If you get to near the coastline they would box you in, and I don't believe you could survive.
The big problem is Bdu orders...Germans did not disobey orders. They went to their assigned grid and did what they were told to do. And that is why all u-boats operating sent along the coast area were eventually sunk.
