Well, I'm not a big mine fan, but I do think they have their place in this game. I've been thinking about this. Why is it so hard to get mines laid in large ports? Because the game is written with the assumption that you load mines in large ports and send them somewhere else. That's ok. I'm not the one developing the game, so I'd have a hard time trying to suggest code rewrites.
But, it seems like it's easier to mine area's other than your major ports. I have a suggestion. It's something I'd say should be on the very low priority list. I suggest that if you have a size 9 or larger port AND you have a mine laying surface ship (ML, DM, etc), then the mines in that port should not degrade at all. That way, you can just leave a ML in Pearl harbor and not deal with the tedious workaround to keep mines in a major port. Of course, you can probably exploit my method by having one DM in port and using one other DM to keep adding mines to make a size 9 port almost invulnerable to invasion.
Another fix would be to have any port size 9 or larger just have a set amount of mines. Say 400. I think this is the least desirable fix as an invasion force wouldn't be able to sweep the mines until the port is captured. Then, the invading force would have 400 defensive mines that day.
Anyway, it seems like places like Tokyo and Pearl should have good minefields without too much effort on the players part.
