1) Generally speaking you/enemy can only put 100 mines in a single hex so don't bother over equipping your sweeper(s). A type I sweeper clears a single mine so 5 ships with 20 Mine Sweeper Is will cover the highest number of mines possible. 1 ship with 20 Mine Sweeper Vs will also do the trick. I like to assign enough Mine Sweeping ships to my "assault" fleets to cover the fleet from the mine threat.

That's true... but you should bother over equipping your sweeper(s) when you have more than one enemy.

In PBW games sometimes I make traps with 200-300 or even more mines per sector (giving mine layers to my allies). That's really surprising when you are sure that you can sweep 100 mines and you... lose main fleet.
