Should large mines be counted as three mines for sweepers?

[Lemmy]

I think a mine sweeper should be able to clear a certain tonnage of mines.
Because right now it's better to use small mines instead of larger ones, why?
Because a mine sweeper can only sweep, for example, 10 mines and IIRC large mines are three times bigger than small mines.
Then if you could choose between 30 small mines or 10 large ones, which would you choose?
right, 30 small ones

I would probably only use larger mines if you could put large mount warheads on them, twice or three times as much damage but only 1.5 times bigger and more expensive
