if you do it on a front gun you make your pilot make funny noises

but yeah like everyone said, dem ammo types. also work with the pilot to get the ship at the proper ranges. since the gunner can have 3 ammo types there are essentially 3 general areas you can pop mines. the pilot and the gunner should be always talking about distance from target and ship speed when you are using mine launchers or any other difficult gun.

If you just want a mine pooper then yeah, no luck. Honestly pooping mines loses a lot of it's effectiveness because enemy pilots can see them. You don't want them to see them ahead of time. You want the mine to pop up right in their face and explode before they have a chance to react.

Turn your rear gun mount on Galleon and Squid to a mine launcher. Then load lochnagar, greased, or incendiary. It'll accomplish what you want with a slight arming time remaining.

HamsterIV:
A mine pooper would have to have a delay fuse or else it would just blow up the laying ship. Can you imagine the rage captains would feel if a newbie gunner poops a mine and doesn't tell the captain, then the mine times out and explodes under the ship. At least with the mine launcher a captain can see the mine and turn away from it if his gunner tries to be a troll

Squidslinger Gilder:
Believe it or not, in the dev app the original mines with lochnagar had this capability. They would become active the moment they popped out and yes just like Hamster stated, they would blow up immediately. It actually was pretty hilarious because some of the guys made up suicide charge pyras. Loaded dual mines on the front with loch and then charged in and blew themselves up at close range. Gotta remember mines in the dev app also had a large explosion radius as well as more dmg.

N-Sunderland:
They still come out really quickly. It's perfect for dropping them in the face of pursuing ships.
