Default Need help laying mines in MB?

What do the:

Density (units/sq. km)
Min Height (M)
Max Height (M)

and

Height (M)


Mean exactly??? :hmm:


If I set density to 0 will I have only 1 mine in my minefield?
Does height take into acount the depth of the water at that exact spot?

and

No matter what values I put for Max Height or Height it always defaults back to 0 unless I use a negative numeric value (how does this relate to the actual height of the mine above the seafloor or sea surface)....... :hmm:

When I created minefields quite awhile ago, I used -1 or -2 to
get them near the surface. When I wanted to use the mines
to trap submerged subs only, I set them between -12 and -15.
This setting usually won't bother surface ships as they just
pass over them....
