lately ive been trying to play more as engineer(more than building rallies) like building fortifications and uh its quite meh and since its the engineer class he could get some kind of bag that would expand slots for mines? cuz using mines is fun but placing just one per soldier is not quite effective so maybe it could work like in post scriptum(now squad44)
It’d be a nice little buff to Engies, that’s for certain
true, AT mines ATM are very hard to use on most maps because of that.
that said, it does deliver more emotional damage as it is because really? you fucking died to the very rare chance someone bring an AT mine, put it, and you ran over it?
i know i nearly quit in shame over that.
No thanks. There are enough mines in the game currently. Not a fun mechanic

People just don’t use mines or dont put them on effective chokepoints. I have half my sqauds equipped with AT and half with AP. I get at lest 2 or 3 tank kills if the enemy is spawning tanks at all. Just think about where you put them and use them every time you spawn.
Use hedgehogs, barbed wire and trenches to force the enemy into where you put your mines.
I’ve been asking for this feature for a while now as well. It pops up on the forums from time to time.
It’s a very good idea, not only for mines but also for more complex wire obstacles like the ‘88’ and ‘8o8’ configurations. Atm we can only deploy ‘ooo+’ which can be jumped over. Wire is already destroyed by det packs, arty and HE rounds, so at least let it function properly whilst its there.
oh yeah i do remember getting blown up under the bridge in the moscow train station map i was ashamed of myself but i was pretty suprised some crafty soviets put it there
how about place mine order?
eg while you’re holding a mine yourself you can place X on the ground for your AI to place mine.
it would require some nerfing to AP mines though as it would become very annoying spam.
that would require the dev having any willpower (and skill?) to code that it.
as it is they seems to be more eager in making everything dumber and more manual instead of automated and smarter.
i still remember the sudden dumbing of the squadmate, unable to follow you anymore trough windows and wall climbing.
