Not necessarily true...but I get what you mean. It depends an where and how you operate.

Oh, also, mines are a lot more dangerous in GWX than in stock. It's possible to hit a mine in stock but you have to be both careless and unlucky. In GWX there are many more mines and they are placed more dangerously, you didn't say which version you played.

We were very lucky to be given a set of Admiralty minefield charts (not available to the public) which enabled us to place the minefields around the UK with a high level of accuracy.

I'd really like to see the ability to lay mines and receive credit for any sinkings in game.

I have personally lost 4 GWX campaigns to mines...all around the British Isles. The German spies have had a hard time getting accurate info??
