What would YOU do...

If you are using GWX then there are dolphins in the mod.
Dolphins have been trained by the USA for anti-mine operations.

See where I'm going?

1) Find a Dolphin
2) train it
3) profit.

Head for the north channel between scotland and ireland. Any convoy I ever met on the east coast of england consisted of tramp steamers and small merchies. Not worth the hassle of being hunted in shallow water for 2000 tons

If water is deep there won't be mines there (I hope)

Unfortunately, that is not the case. In SH3/GWX, mines are not restricted to shallow waters - guess they would be in real life.

Thanks to all for input - and I AM using the obs scope to check for mines. Unfortunately, that means TC=1...

OK, my plan is as follows: At 60m, enter a slow 360 degr circle at my present position. If I spot no mines here, I'll keep that up until I get a fix on the convoy. Then I'll surface and position myself, hoping to avoid airplanes. Then dive to 20 m and wait for the convoy, keeping an eye out for mines.
As for the getaway - I hope to be able to avoid both mines and DD's by going deep.

Wish me luck!
