I was out on my second patrol, and suddenly got buggered by something. My question is: Are there mines around Dover? Or is this a crash? I don`t think any enemy ships were THAT close. (I was running along in periscope depth)

Pics:

Anyway, U52 imploded.

Mines, but even without mines...the english chanal is just pure suicidal for an submarine to enter it...to much warship traffic an low depth...once you get detected you're pretty much screwed.

Mines tend to cause characteristic damage: they kill both your radio and sonar men, and turn that compartment red. They also tend to burn up the conning tower. And you hit them when you are running at PD within a reasonable distance of shore.
