Minefield Setup

[DanielSan]

I now have 4 enemy frigates that almost easily run through my prefab minefield.
... I blew up an entire minefield + 2 sam sites on shore with a 2k pound mine.

Can anyone tell me what a good setup for a mine field is? Which type of mines are commonly used, and how deep? In normal life how is it setup effectively, and is the 1k or 2k bomb supposed to travel towards you?

I am personally using it to buffer off a naval base.

Thanx in advance
