GWX? If yes then the minefield maps are included in the map screen in game. Sucks that it happened now mate. Always follow the harbor pilot out and in when you can, avoids incidents like this.

Man have I been lucky... I'm on my 7th patrol right now. Phew!

No, it was East of Heligoland. I cleared the island by quite a bit, because I had heard of mines off the East shore...but I guess they went out ALOT farther than I had imagined.

I always pay attention to the minefield maps...adds more environment to the game I think.
