Yep. Check the campaign files if you still want to use that route, but I'm pretty sure the East side is clear.

Go to your silent hunter 3 folder and open the mission editor.
From file, select open SCR layer, and open this file. whereveryouputsh3/silent hunter 3/data/campaigns/campaign/campaign_scr

How can I decipher this to understand what location this is and at what time are the mines laid? |

There is a British minefield to both east and west of Helgoland.....pay particular attention to the dates because they are not permanent fixtures.

Are you using GWX? If so, the fields are already there and already active. If not, no minefields.

I'm glad you posted this. I always take the western side. Must be sheer dumb luck that I haven't gone 'boom'.

Check the campaign file also because they are dated.
