But the damage goes up with the number of engines, so is it realy good to use a 4 engine ship in case of minefields?

And something that i observed ones in game, but have not yet tested, is that the minimum damage to fleet is multiplied by the number of engines. An enemy BB tried to cross one of my normal minefields and it stopped and recieved 2000 points of damage, which is just 4 times the minimum damage done by normals to a single fleet.
So if thats true, a galleon containing fleet will always take at least 8000 points of damage inside a heavy field.


Ahh.

If that's the case then 4 of the PVTs may be a better idea.
