Default Re: Mine Damage: How Does It Work?

Also note that if a mine hits a ship, it ONLY hits that ship. A large mine with four warheads will waste the other three warheads if the first one kills the target.

This also means that even if your enemy doesn't have minesweepers, a fleet of more than 100 ships will get through. Well, PARTS of it will get through.

Sweepers are simple. They work before the mines blow, and remove the number of mines listed. Add up the sweeper components and then multiply by the number of mines swept to find how many mines a ship or fleet can sweep.
