Yes - v1.2 has chanded all the mines and nets so you will not hear them.
I added an add-on that will allow them to be heard if you want.

What happened was TDW had remade his mines so that they could become spottable with the add-on. This was great as it gave poeple the choice as to what type to use. Thanks TDW

This required a campaign layer upgrade that can only take effect with a re-start. So this is why I made a full version release.

Anyone not bothered about the mines can stay with their current version.

Hmm, so I assume now only the watch crew will see them (probably at quite close range lol)?


EDIT: Also just ragequit Operation Weserubung for about the fifth time. I've sat in the tightest part of the Narvik entryway for the entire ten days on multiple occasions and seen virtually no traffic, bar the occasional green freighter and a British battlegroup or two at the very end of the period. I think the most I've ever managed has been 3 out of 5 enemy ships, and only got the 'sink any british ship' once after saying f*ck it and heading down the Norwegian coast towards April 9th ish and running into a random solo small freighter.

I even went right into the harbour around the 7th/8th/9th or so and there are no ships there at all. I don't mind having a short timeframe for completion but if there's barely any traffic heading to Narvik during those 10 days it makes it almost impossible. And no Allied ships in harbour? I expected to get horribly murdered making it through the shallows, let alone making it all the way to the port to find it empty! There's no chance of refueling if you get there too late, and god help you if you head up there when you get the radio message, about 7 days before the op starts - as you'll be low on fuel/torps and on your way home by the time the mission starts with very little time to get back to the mission area.

Can I suggest making the time period longer and populating Narvik and the entry fjord with more traffic so we actually have a chance to complete this? Or altering the objectives so it's one ship, not five (like the mission says)! Bit sick of banging my head against the wall on this one! LOL
