I've come across them in two places.

The English Channel, near the narrow point between the UK and mainland Europe. If I remember correctly, they were near the center.

The second place was up near Scapa Flow. Not in the harbor but in the channel area to the south. In fact this is the first time I had ever seen them. I had to submerge because of escorts/destroyers and while sailing underwater I was actually looking for possible "sub nets". In the periscope off in the distance there was something that looked like a black spec. Once I got closer it was clearly a mine attached to a chain that went down to the seabed. They were setup in a row, so it that was easier to deal with than if they had been randomly placed around.

I should point out that I have been playing OHII. I have to admit I didn't play the stock/vanilla version long enough to notice it didn't have mines.

Will my deck crew warn me if they see mines? Can nets be seen surfaced? Wasn't there a map that shows the mine locations?

In TDW's Options File Editor Viewer there are options in both of the Nav map and TAI map to enable mine fields.

So? Do you know what those features actually do? DO they have any effect on map settings at all?

Hi Vecko
Never used it, absolutely no idea, it implies that minefields are added to the game, but where?

I know the english channel is mined for sure.

Only place where i found mines or perhaps they were anti submarine nets were in scarpa flow, the same passage prien took historically and thats the same for me when i raided it twice :P

Using OHII as well. Has anyone ever been caught by an anti submarine net? Because when entering scarpa flow i always navigate the windy channel on the surface so im not sure what happens
