Brilliant game! I hadn't expected mines but I was in an area that, historically (in real life), was declared as a minefield by the Royal Navy. Are there German mines too - I seem to remember that in real life a German minefield was laid in the Heligoland Bight and the Royal Navy tried to close off Germany's North Sea ports and the Western end of the Kiel Canal with an extensively scattered minefield.

There are some vessels with keel depth around 10-11m (Modern Tanker, Large Merchant, Medium Cargo etc...) so If you stay at periscope depth (12-13 m), you will be fine and mines won't harm you.
