I don't know about you guys but that looks like a fishing net to me.

Any of you guys ever hit one of those nets in game?

It may as well be a concrete wall.

It can easily ruin your sub. However, in a few areas you can scoot over them without taking too much damage. Still, only a few exist in the stock and modded game, why I placed a lot more in around ports, to keep me from being a wus harbor raider.

Funny thing, net cutters seemed to be standard equipment on U-boats, don't recall seeing one on a US sub. One idea is an animated net, attached to a tug or something to open or close it. I recall somewhere the procedure was for a sub to wait until the net was opened for a merchant, then follow the merchant into the harbor.

Maybe in old WW2 movies, not in real life.
