Rebuilding for minelaying

[paul]

Hello,

I checked the manual, but cannot find the rules around rebuilding for minelaying.  I notice that in the rebuild design screen, the mines control is active, but I cannot move it above 0 (in about 1914).  What are the limits on converting ships to minelaying?  Is it restricted to certain classes or technology?  Actually, the same applies to new minelayers.

Have you left the weight open for storage?

You have to research mine rails for DD and CL to fit them on those kind of ships. AMC can have mines right from the start.

Ahh that explains it.

I was wondering how to build minelayers in this game and thought that you need to use the MS class for it, not AMC. Go figure.
