But I'd really like to see a mine some day(but, not very keen on getting to close). Is it only if you hit the mine it explodes, or does it have magnetic sensors (or something:hmm: ) that explodes if you get like 3 meters away, or what?

Some mines were magnetic some were contact
Not sure mag ones are modelled in game but I suspect they are probably both on the same mine - mag and contact

Hmmm.....better be careful then
I know there some mines around Gibraltar, but I'm not stupid enough (or good) to go in there.

I've seen mines around Reykjavik, but they were pretty weird: they were lying on the seafloor, no cables or anything! Looked like that harbour bug that makes ships being placed on docks, so they're allready destroyed when you sneak in.

Anyone seen this too?

May be that or the fact their depth is set too low
