I have been using them in my editor missions and single patrols from the
very start. You should see a Japanese TF wander into one, great
fireworks !!

Where can I find this "Mines"? Is it very powerful to kill the player sub?

tater · 05-09-07, 12:11 AM

Under Ordnance.

There is a US and a japanese mine layer in the campaign layers. The densities are loke, like 3 mines per km^2.

Hitting a mine will kill almost any ship or sub but keep this in mind:
"Mines won't stop the Yamato" or -Name that Movie-

PS. I usually set my mine density to 50, makes a good spread

Any damage to a submarine's pressure hull means in most cases they can't submerge, or in some cases surface, which pretty much means certain death.

What does the Z mean in ZOMG! ?

I bet u never hit a mine before Lag.

Do we have anyone versed in Naval mines here-abouts ?
Setting mines at sub periscope depth in 1500 feet of water just doesn't make sense to me. Those mines were out in the middle of nowhere.

If I'm laying mines, they're going in the shallows that are also "choke points" i.e passages between islands or reefs, and they're going to be shallow enough to collect surface ships which are much more numerous than subs. Transiting subs would also be effected because of the shallow depth.

I recall running into a minefield in SH III in my old V-II as I tried to sneak up the Channel to get home to Kiel. The placement of the field was perfect...just off the French coast where the Channel narrowed. I hit the mine just as I surfaced, which was good news for the crew. They spent the rest of the war in Canada.
