Default Re: Random Questions

My most recent experience was with BM14b. An enemy fleet made it through a minefield (using the "soak up damage with plenty of armour" tactic). this left my minelayer fleeing while dropping one or two mines every once and a while. The enemy followed destroying the mines with PD. DUC fire too perhaps. Think of them as helpless units that just sit there. I've done tests where the enemy doesn't have weapons capable of targeting them. It'll chase after the minelayer, directly through mines. If they practically touch they'll go off. Anything further than basically on top of them and they don't do anything.

I'll also mention the mines in the B5W test can use weapons it seems, but we haven't gotten far enoguh for me to test them yet.
