Magnetic mines, Naval.
Anyone had any success with those?

I dropped a few from US planes and i have not gotten a single kill with them so far, are they useless?

Bombs seems like a much better alternative.

SB2U, SBD3 and the PBY-5, more planes might have it too.

Yeah Oddbawz and Phly both posted videos, basically showing they work just like bombs but with twice the explosive filler. For now.

I have landed them on the deck of ships and all i saw were a black cloud, but i just tried again, and they can block access. I sailed close to the mines i dropped, and i could see them in the surface, when i sailed close to the drop location after loosing my plane. (lighted up in blue). And i guess the enemies can see them as well.

Here is a screenshot of them (friendly ones here) but the enemy sails right in between, so there really are no point in using them. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2220576631
