Landmines

[Lionman]

Hopefully, the more realistic this game gets, the more we will all remember to respect and honour those who died in WW2 to create the conditions that now enable us to enjoy global gaming. Had they won NONE of the Axis powers would have allowed the Internet or the freedoms we enjoy to meet and game and socialise.

Russian sappers did creep out at night with anti-tank mines, and layed them whilst in their white camo.

But, I think that would be a very poor addition to the game.

Mines were used in the midst of battle too, but would not really add much to the game in RO.

I dont see why we cant have mines. if you your a good enough player, and use your brain, you could set some deadly traps.

like some maps have realy tall grass or grain/wheat fields. if your good inough you could plant a few with out being seen. I have been on hill and never even seen that panzerfaust rocket come from the middle of the damn field.

I just think it would be awesome to see some poor sap step on one and lose a leg.

and ever think of adding the MG-15??? water cooled, so you dont have to change barrels.

no mines thanks,
just for the realism reason, they wernt set in battle.
and the fact they couldnt be done in anyway that would be anything but a piss off. thats just my oppinion feel free to correct me

I think people are confusing mines and booby traps. Troops were trained to set booby traps in areas they were retreating from. The simplest is probably a grenade with the pin removed wedged under a dead body. Mines could be used, and anti-tank mines placed on likely routes, all designed to cause casualties and slow down the pursuing troops. But in all cases, these would be set in areas that were being abandoned so they would not endanger friendly troops.

Anti-personnel mines were used in a more strategic role, generally sown in large numbers in clearly defined and marked minefields. Their intention was to protect vulnerable areas and funnel attacking troops into the desired approaches. In that sense, we already have minefields in RO - the edges of the map. It would be nice if they were actually marked as such (rather than an on-screen message as you blow up ) but that has already been raised elsewhere.

Because of the majority of players, this would simply be a way to TK without penalty.

 

[CaptRanger]

What were mines like in the mod?

 

[Avenger]

In the mod, mines were just a random instant death in certain areas of the map. Idiotic.

This adds nothing to gameplay. Leave them out.

 

[Nugetti23]

They maybe have fun and good weapons of like Rakowice or Konigspaltz, but not some Arad.

Anti-tank mines could work. But naturally it would be just mindblowing to drive around and explode every 30 seconds knowing player behaviour in this game.

 

[RedOctober]

my take:
I would like to c a land mine weapon added to the game but
1. the weapon would not not be used by infantry just an easy way to get rid of volume and adding alot of mines in the way you would like them to be they would also not be able to respawn in this way mines can be added realistically to levels. That had them
2.Perhaps add a function\class (if this is realistic) that can defuseand spot land mines
3.a few land mines here and there (they would have a mesh would poke through ground (the tip alerting you to other mine possible location.

They. Didn't. Place. Mines. During. Battle!

Jeez.

 

[Kaputt PzKpfw V]

Mines are a poor idea, this isn't BF:1942.

 

[Colt .45 killer]

GRAVE DIGGER , YOU ARE ! this post had over 4 months of dust on it before somone resurected it...

 

[snakedude24]

Blame RedOctober.

 

[Elysium]

What a bloody stupid idea. It's bad enough when you run into a minfield when trying to find new way to flank on a map. But putting them by spawn!?

Anyway TripWire have more realistic ideas to work on like the Maus super tank.

 

[Nugetti23]

Tanks mines would be nice an Koningsplatz
