What to do about the mines? The east coast barrier was to some extent a bluff and the thin spread of mines in GWX is probably fairly accurate. I don't know if the mines will affect you on the surface in the game, the fields laid had varying purposes as the war progressed, see https://naval-history.net/xGM-Ops-Minelaying.htm
The only work around I know is to use the periscope underwater, but this is NOT realistic. IRL you cannot see very far underwater in the North Sea.
I donīt think that this particular minefield will affect me while Iīm on the surface, but I canīt know if there are areas where the mines are positioned closer to the surface.

There is not much one can do when the other side outguns you
