The good thing: Mines work now. Even though I think the S Mines poking out like that look obnoxious.
Can we now please get a hotkey for dropping them so placing a mine does not take like 5 seconds?
Also a mine bag would be appreciated or a way to tell each soldier in a squad to place their mine without switching to them, like a mine field formation or building that’s accessible like a radial and the building material is the amount of mines in the squad. Please make placing mines and mine fields easier. It’s annoying and cumbersome to switch to each soldier, check if them have a mine and press at least 2 keys to place it.

press 6, drop mine, unhappy? bind key to another key.
I’m mostly just annoyed by the fact that if you have a soldier start placing a mine, then switch off of them before a bit after the mine has hit the ground, they just force pull it back into their hands without the mine being placed.

2 key presses are too much. There are also animations in between. Exactly the reason you have one key to quick throw a grenade, instead of having to switch to it and manually throwing it.
Also when you have half way through the animation and it looks like the mine is already dropped and get shot, making the mine disappear again. so dumb
Yup. The mine is, as far as the game is concerned, still in your hands until you see the armming timer appear. Until then, if the animation stops for whatever reason, it won’t be placed.
It’s just a left click more, are u on controller or what makes it so difficult to you? Like mentioned you should be able to bind it to another key.
more like,
chuck it in 0 secs would be too much.
heck, we are lucky that we don’t even have an animation to place them ( turn the thingy with the hand, and than place it. because right now we are literally throwing on the ground unactivated mines. that somehow explode when someone cross it despite haven’t being properly armed ).
so… i’m fairly sure two keybinds and the least ammount of work that it requires is enough.

So you think grenades also should require 2 keys while we are at it? Comments like yours are the reason mines are not being used. It takes too much time to set them up and just get’s you killed. No way to quickly use them, unlike a grenade. This whole system is super clunky.
Yes
It might balance those with 3 grenades that I often hear people complaining about,
It’s not really realistic to being able to lay down and throw grenades and mines so easily
I think you’re wrong here. IMO they need to fix grenades, not make it more cumbersome to use them. Like increase the timer by a second to make them easier to throw back, remove explosion packs and replace them with AT heat grenades. Restrict AT grenades to certain classes. Stuff like that. Not artificially fuck with quality of life. Because that’s stuff that makes people quit. Making it harder to control game can’t ever be a way to improve a game.
quitting for not being able to use grenades and mines realistically ( as they should work ) ?
yeah.
that kinda explains one or two things.
