Were mines ever an element of Aces of the Deep?
Since the beginning of The War in my trusty canoe, up to early 1941 out of Wilhelmshaven, I have ventured unabashedly through The Channel. Aaaaannnnddd...I am lumbering about in a newly rewarded Type IX.
I had expected to be deep-sixed by now, even if I was still driving the Type II. Granted, I hope always to deliver the crew to the safety of our harbour, but a program that generates wolfpacks and hedgehog attacks must certainly have developed sea mines? Sincerely, Reverie |

I've never come across mines in either version of Aces of the Deep. Closest thing I've come to strange weapons in a Sub Simulation was the Mystery Booms I used to hear in Silent Hunter 1.3! They used to sound as loud as ten DC's being dropped on my sub, but when I popped my head out of the conning tower there was nothing to be seen! No contacts on visual or radars too! I've come to wonder if they weren't DC's dropped by unseen escorts or shore batteries? Though, I've never been hit by a shore battery!
Thanks, Reverie! ChristopherT |

Hmmmm, perhaps those booms were the missing mines of AOD...
...hmmm. Sincerely, Reverie |

That's a scary thought!
