Reload. try again much slower no TC, noticed I was set for 1/3 but making 0 Knots (on the surface) external camera showed the net under water.
I now approach all atoll shallows with caution.
Prop: anyway to "see" mines as you near them?

I have found a few atolls I like to hunt.
My strategy is to wait till night and move in on the surface running over the nets if I am going to cut across shallows instead of using more time to run the channels. I have notice that this move is Submarine Class dependent. What I mean is that one class runs the surface shallow enough to miss the nets ...
...some classes however run deep and will ground you on the net.
Some atolls have nets and mines. On one particular atoll I know exactly where the mines are and I will be testing the snagging cable scenario today and give a report.
