I’m about to do some funny things with these ships if they are available in the supposed submarine event

Also forgot Vauquelin had 40 mines lmao

A shame they despawn fast really, this thing would have a demonic potential in EC otherwise

RN Turbine gets 52 and the German Drache also gets 40 with 12 depth charges.

The British Liscomb gets 20 depth charges and the Canadian Brantford gets 24. They will also be perfect sub chasers!

perfect trio for cap blocking X)

waits 15 minutes

For submarines yes,

for destroyers i don’t think it was specified. We’ll see. Otherwise i’ll just wait for December

Just since we are sharing anti-submarine tools for a moment, while not going to be something for this update I would like to share:

IJN Tsugaru and JDS Murasame (DD-107)

IJN Tsugaru is incredibly slow, however it can lay SIXTY, SIXTY mines with 130 kg of boom each

and JDS Murasame has a Hedgehog launcher on a swivel mount featuring ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FOUR hedgehogs.

We don’t care about that thingy. It ain’t WW2. Yucky postwar garbage! The other Japanese boat on the other hand is cool. The Mine Men will greatly enjoy it.

Also question, am I able to start to post for just general discussion for Sea mines? Like how submarines and aircraft carriers have one, can I make one for mines? Or will the mods smite poor little ol’ me?

Iirc that is even reduced from the real capacity of 600 mines

Tons of vehicles in game that also could carry mines in game sadly don’t even get them. You can see the rails the mines would be on, on many ships.

Apparently the IJN Tsugaru could carry 500 Mines on those rails. So why they don’t get them all is really confusing???

It’s capacities like that, which will balance out Submarines and so forth from being able to capture points easily or break through shallow waters un-noticed.

Another suggestion for Germany:
Type UE II U-boot from WWI.

Specifically the U-117 as it could carry a good amount of mines.
