Went to external view...no aircraft, nothing in sight. So maybe another uboat is also in the vicinity but out of sight.
I cruise on(towards english coast) and about four hours later I am damaged. Hull integrity is 98%, both engines destroyed, all compartments damaged somewhat.
I was at periscope depth, didn't run aground, no ships/aircraft present...did I hit a mine?
Did the ship I was stalking and I both hit mines?

If your anywhere near Dover in the channel yes its mines
The ship should have been ok as IIRC they will be around 10m below the surface to stop you :rotfl: and other subs
Maybe they not that deep :hmm: |
No they aren't very deep. Way early in the war while on the west coast of England we hit a mine. We were surfaced and doing 8kts. It was at the end of a frustrating patrol and thought we might do a bit of harbour raiding just to sink something. Needless to say, that was the end of my harbour raiding days. Limped into base and swore to never try that again. :rotfl:
