Mines...How do I get them?

[jeffs]

I have level 7 to 9 ports (Columbo, PH, Sorb etc) with full supply...But I have run out of mines...
How do I get them?

[findmeifyoucan]

you can't get them. They accumulate over time so basically you have to sit and wait till they arrive like I do. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So....Simply stated...The joy of 1500 mines all over the midpacific and DEI is not happening.......

Bummer.....

this sums it up quite nicely [:D] be aware though that small minefields in AE seem to be as potent as big or even the megaminefields in WITP. From my experience so far, you can kill a nice number of ships if they end up in a minefield as big as 200-300 mines and the mines are at least twice as lethal as in WITP with the new damage routines. All in all a vast improvement over WITP IMO.

Thanks..actually....I might have nailed the Haruna with a mine (shows up in the sunk ship area, but I have definitely NOT recieved victory points for it yet)....

So I will try to think of newer and eviler ways to torment my opponent..

Castor thanks for the update on mine potency...Nice to know.

The cool thing is that if an opponent hits a mine...There is no way to know at the time....

other Question about Mines

there is a Option in Bomber City Target to Mine Port for LB´s

I have try it some turns middle 43 (as Ally) and never see it work...no matter what for altitude i have set, flying from lv 9 Airfield...all useless the Bomber have never started to Fly and Mine anything.

Was not able to find anything of this in Manual.

while mine hits don´t show up in the replay (as they did in WITP), they still show up in the combat report, so the mines are still someting like intelligence mines that first identify the target, send you an email and then they ignite... [;)]

IIRC it doesn´t work (yet) but it will (or already has been corrected) for the next patch.
