It always works. Id say you just need to slow down a bit

agreed - but it even does not ALWAYS work on someone sneaking up
must be lag - like bad hit reg

thanks - this re-affirms to me that V ELCT is the best tech for armor IMHO

use, just use the vehicle sensor.

yes as I said - that is what I use - but it does not always work ?
maybe lag - maybe I drive too fast = maybe I just do not pay enough attention to it :cry:

the UAV alt for the vehicles will detect and display mines

the best map for mines in water is Atacama Desert, just throw mines all around B flag.. but remember to stay alive coz any 380 point tank kills dont count if your dead...

man I have been water mining for ages now, especially on Laguna

in armour like the Bradley, I typically prefire the water with the main cannon, takes care of them, otherwise I throw a grenade in the water etc

I know all the spots as I use them

You are not supposed to detect the mines, that is the whole point
Water is an Engineers best friend, I have gotten several gunboat kills that way.

The rivers on laguna pressa are notorious for mines. I usually shoot the water before i move up, possibly detonating anything hidden. I think you spots mines by visually seeing them and pressing Q.

hehe
that is what I had started doing :nod:
think I got a few that way
then they started dropping mines out in the "deep water"
sort of between B & C out toward the damn
I like cruising back and forth out there
(ie recon cannot sneak up on you from the hillls like near the waterfall area by A

or they drop them along the thin stream and the guns cannot depress low enough
(sometimes I hop into the gunner seat to spray the area)

I do not spot mines (with Q)
but I still see some on my map as little white circles
maybe it is my V Elec that is auto spotting ??

will pay more attention and report back

Only 40mm Grenades and detonated the mines.

I have never heard of this tactic before...I will try it out.

Shoot at the water with the tank or get off and shoot a rocket, if you suspect mines in the water.
