Yes, I think AS 3 with Heavy Mount is enough, just with range 5 you have a 90% chance, range 1 to 4 is 100%. Massive mount with AS 3 is somewhat a waste of space.

The order of launching does no matter, I also have observed AI minesweepers at my WP mines. The dummies stay there until the Last mine with a warhead is swept. Maybe I could create an empty warhead to equip my dummies ?

Maybe ship and fleet experience and racial modifiers are irrelevant for allegiance subverters too.
That only affects the To-hit chance. Once the shot has hit, only the damage rating matters.
With a Religious talisman, experience means zilch to A.S. weapons.

If the idea is to make a bunch of cheap mines to overwhelm the mine sweepers, you could put only one warhead in each mine. That would cut the cost down a bit.

Are you saying that subverters undergo two checks, the first is whether or not they hit the ship, and the second (done only if the ship is hit) to see if it is subverted?

That's (how I understand) it.
