    Mines, Teamkill Punishment , Proper Tactics

    A noob question.

    As a student (not a practicing soldier) of military history I learned that mines were a legitimate way of limiting enemy mobility.

    I thought this would be especially effective in dealing with the USMC armor blitz in Karkand. The tactic has been successful in past games, slowing the opponents advance to a crawl and gaining time for MEC armor to arrive.

    However my fellow gamers have punished me, time and again, when they run over these mines (either deliberately or not ). The tactic seems to be unpopular among friendlies.

    Am I missing some finer point in the "Stats race" (no i dont participate in that) or perhaps some protocol in engineer tactics?

    Friendly soldiers can't run over your mines and get killed, if that's what you mean.

      Man, are you living under a rock or something? 1.21 has been out for like 5 years.

        Perhaps I am mistaken. I thought i actually saw it happen. And that day I was concentrating on mines only. (Yeah getting killed alot). Is it possible that it is my version of BF2??

        Thanks

        I did load 1.21. Could it be that the TK's did not??

          I think your problem is your actually trying to think tactically in a pub. It's an arcade game, trying to use some form of military tactics is useless and waste.

            On some servers (not many) friendly fire mines and claymores are off so yes TK'ing with mines is possible on post-1.21 severs.

            I don't like how the server just doesn't tell you wether it is on or off.

                it is possible to get TK's from AT mines if friendlies are close enough to the blast, but the chance of that is 20-80% your favor, it is a rarity.

                I was angry as hell when it happened, but then i realized they hadnt run over the mine, simply were too close to the enemy vehicle hitting and detonating the mine.
