hi there,
I was wondering what exactly the deal is with anti tank mines since the patch. I was under the impression that mines (and claymores) no longer can hurt or kill friendlies.
Well today I decided to play around a bit more with the engineer class (I've only ever used it for flying jets and armour etc), and under the impression that my mines would no longer hurt friendlies I decided just to put them anywhere enemy armour might go.
So I started on Wake Island and placed about 2 mines in the grass at South base (I think?) and headed to the airfield. well about 3 minutes later I got punished 4 times in a row for teamkills. this left me confused and the only thing I could think of is an enemy tank ran over them killing some of my team with it. it didn't say I killed any enemy though. :/
then in another round on Wake again I (admittidly, mindlessly) placed 3 mines around one of the bridges near north base (well the smallish base west of the bridge). anyway, I hung around that base for a while and decided to man one of the guns on a nearby jeep to take out a cobra which was trying to cap the base. well someone in my squad jumped in the jeep and before I could say anything he ran right over my newly placed mines killing us both, and he also punished me in the process.
oops! well as annoying it was to get all these TKs and punishes (do people even think about the situation when they punish?), it must also be annoying for the poor people I killed so can someone please explain to me the deal with mines, so this kind of thing won't happen any more (or at least not as much
)
thanks in advance!
