If you suddenly became aware you were in a minefield without actually setting one off (how you would know that without using the external camera I'm not sure) is to take exactly the same route out as you took in. Not sure if when your u-boat snags a mine wire whether you get the sound effects of the wire scrapping the hull or not in GWX, which would alert you to mines. I am currently reading a book about a British sub in the Med where the ASDIC operator would listen out for echoes to detect mines. Presumably this was some sort of active sonar as passive sonar wouldn't help. Perhaps someone can elaborate.
