Mines?

[raceacontari]

ok, just wanted to point something out I have noticed recently, maybe because of the new patch, maybe not.

Has anyone noticed an enemy, or friendly, vehicle drive over mines only to see the mine(s) exploid and nothing happen to the vehicle? I've seen this one too many times now since the patch. I am not saying the patch did this...but I can't recall many times before the patch where a person wouldn't die from a mine. I think what has happened is the mines were either nerfed a bit or when placing a mine, make sure it doesnt role over so it's upside down. I think if it is upside down now, it will explode downwards and not damage a vehicle very much. I have seen APC's, tanks, and even and FAV! get through a mine placement. The FAV did catch on fire, but fact remains, it didn't blow up like it should have. I am only guessing on the upside down mines thing...but I do remember it used to not matter...so...I just am wondering if things have changed. I experienced this myself by running over some mines in a tank, and it only scratched the paint...

anyone else notice this?

Re: Mines?

I know that servers can now set friendly fire off or on for mines. With enemies, I have no idea how that could happen.

I haven't seen what you're describing, but I have seen on multiple occasions an APC firing at a Humvee killing all the occupants but leaving the car itself unscaved.

Yes I know that lol.

What I have seen has happened more than once. I place mines at a choke point for vehicles, run off to hide or something, then I watch as an enemy APC comes driving along, drive right through the mines, I see the mines explode, but the APC drives on like nothing happened.

Same thing happened with an FAV as I explianed earlier. Drove right through the mines, took enough damage to catch on fire, bailed out and got away from it before the FAV exploded.
