OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

to fix mines they should be buried and just a friendly icon should be over them... you should be able to blow them up still though, even if you can't see them

maybe engineer could have mine detector, they could appear on radar...

I guess this is more of a mod idea

so tired

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

Had a match this evening and while waiting for the other team to show we had 12 Engineers lay a strip of mines(60), all the way down the Northern road that runs W/E on Mashtur city 16 player.

It went all the way over the bridge and just around the corner, Everything within 10 feet of the line died...all the way donw the length of it.

We recorded a demo, I'll have to make sure it is available before saying where to get it.

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

I am not actually too keen on this. As usually mines keep armor out of an area which now they can just blow up and continue. And as for claymores you can hardly get a grenade to land right on top of the ladder and if you do the sniper knows you are coming.

Armor is gaining the upper hand above all other vehicle classes now.

Just think though if your in a good squad lay some land mines enemy APC rolls up he either gets out to try and blow them up(ambush the bugger and riddle him with automatic fire) or it'll give you the vital seconds for your AT guys to stick someit big and hot up his APC's rear end!

This isn't new, you could do it before.

No you couldn't if you threw a nade at a claymoore or a AT mine it didn't do anything before the patch.

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

I gave this a try today using C4. Couldn't get it to blow with nades. Even with direct hits.

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

Awsome! I didn't really notice this, but I haven't play much (only about 1 hour) since the patch came out.

Does this affect C4 also? Or just AT mines ad claymores?

EDIT: NVM, question already answered.

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

this is a bad bug really. Its getting widely known, obviously...
but i had a mine field layed at a key choke point to slow the tanks down. All the tanker did was jump out quick, shoot his GP30 at the mines, and they all blew up. Then jumped back into tank, and preceeded on. All within like 4 seconds.
Thats just kinda lame in my opinion.
Bad bug. I would like to think in the very least, DICE would hot fix this.
Once this bug becomes standard knowledge, the games "fun factor" will suffer to a point.

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

I am not happy about this. Eng mines were somewhat effective before but now they can be disabled by any class. Is there a way to disable c4? If not then SF class now is the premier flag defender.

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

its a stupid idea, you can no longer block an entrance if the enemy is not an engineer

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

Worst change of the patch imho

I'm engineer a lot and only the last days have I seen mines become absolutely useless (in its intended form)

I've seen 'em being used to boobytrap infantry approaches now.. vehicle confinement doesn't work anymore though :/

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

Hey, when the guy gets out to blow up the mines, steal his tank... that'll teach him...

[mikemil828]

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now

it's not as bad as people claim it to be, now if a noob completely blocks all the entrances to a base with mines, people can actually get themselves out so that vehicles can pass

Re: OMG!!!! you can blow up AT mines with grenades now
