When I approached Dover Strait, I had been observing Allied merchants and warships where they going, their routes, then assumed its ok for me to follow their routes or paths to get thru. I never encountered a mine in Dover Strait in 2.0. Only mine I encounter was by Firth of Forth and killed me couple weeks ago because I was off the path where merchants and warships commute. It really risky to travel submerge by Firth of Forth since there destroyers patrolling and they would detect me because not enough room to avoid with two lands being 1-2km apart for long way and there shallow water. I tend to go on merchant routes between Scapa Flow and Lerwick during early war years, have not encountered any mines there yet but still have to assume there's mines somewhere and best to stick onto merchant routes.
