I don't see a need to spot mines. Because when you are fighting against mines,
1.) The enemy makes a minefield that you can (and should) easily notice and avoid.
2.) The enemy has a proficient gunner who can pop a mine on you (and you can't do much about it).
So, yea, its part of piloting progress to learn how to avoid mines. Kinda like learning chem-cycles as engineer and reload-timing as a gunner.

Fixed it for you.
A lot of the times mines are about mine'd games. On paritan? Mines took your balloon down and now you're near ground? Balloon just repaired but the mine ship has arcs? Well don't rise up, because that's what they expect you to do. I find flying sideways at the mine arcs also help throw off their aim a bit, unless the gunner is Miki 'N Ead

a very valid point. Probably the best practice would be to fly in a mine madness match. 200 glorious mines floating in the sky, its beautiful

Mine fields is where good main engineers are carved by firestacks and simultaneous balloon/hull drops
It would be as if in real life sea mines had bright buoys or land mines red flags popping out the ground.
