D@MN the TORPEDOES, FULL SPEED AHEAD

The first thing I want to make it clear is the topic. This famous wording is said by Admiral David Glasgow Farragut. "Torpedo" refers to "mines" here

. So don't mix it up with T1, T2, ... T5 (perhaps T11) you use to attack enemy

See http://www.military.com/Content/More...L_farragut_bkp for details

I've got a brand new installation of GW 1.1a in my computer. This is my first taste of GW mod. (I used to use some mods to fix bugs and enhance harbour traffic) That is a great mod and I'm looking forward for GWX to come out

However, on my second patrol of my Type IIA, I encountered some mines and really sucked up my boat

This is a mine of a minefield near Dover. I went there so that I can hunt more easily (I got 5 fish left and wanta to use up all of them before I go back to base)

I accidentally hit a mine, and the patrol group (2 V&W, 2 Armed Trawler, 2 Pt boat) woke up. They chased around me. I had to leave quickly but quietly

While I was leaving, I hit another mine again, which gave away my position. Also, I had to recover from flooding, which futher show my presence.

After several attempt to save the boat. I realized that the boat will be wasted soon after 2 DC exploded really close to my boat and I ordered blow ballast tanks. Many men dead in the desperate attempt to save the boat.

After surfacing, I realized I didn't have the option to surrender and have a visit to British POW camp. And what is my final resting place, is made clear to everyone.

Just 3 questions to ask. Won't take u long

1) Which supermod doesn't have mines & subnets (impossible) or provide options to remove enemy + friendly mine/subnets?
2) In case that every mod contains mine + subnets and there is only option to remove friendly mine (like GW 1.1a)? How can I know that hostile mines/subnets are near my boat?
3) Can I replace the Campaign_RND.mis by original unpatched file to remove all the mines+subnets since unpatched ver doesn't contain mines? (seems possible but will it crash the game?)

Thanks for your help.
