Minefields and Rub1.44 (Cont'd)

Stiebler,
Good work.

I had redone the entire East Coast, the minefields are as extensive as they were during the war. I even have the deeper gaps, which are still mined.

Where as Sailor Steve had only the outlines and a small presence at Dover, I have the entire area filled and Dover. All as per the war map I have. The East Coast minefields are about 35+ k's wide with a density of 10 so as to allow a reasable, but very low chance for the u-boat to cross the entire width submerged.

I had set the depth of the minefields so as to be deep enough for an escort but not a ship. The idea, as it was in the war, was for the shipping to move inside the minefield barrier.

It was, and may still be, if there was actually an interest, to do the mines as historically correct as possible, even to the minimum depth.

For example, I have even included some historical correct Dutch minefields in Holland's Territorial waters for 1939-1940.

PM me and I can e-mail you the file to test. I am certain that it will not crash.
