I found aerial mine drooping to be a boondoggle that is hardly worth the effort.

Like torpedo bombing, aerial mining requires the delivering plane to drop to a minimum altitude to deliver the product no matter what altitude you set for the trip to the target.

Aerial mines are dropped at 3k altitude. This may be fine over a non-important target, but any target worth mining will devastate your planes with flak and barrage balloons.

B29s don't mix it up well with balloons.


Agreed. AD mines are no where near as effective as they were historically.
