Mines

[jolly22]

     So basically the only way to sweep these mines is by running one over?  I don't see us getting a Crab anytime soon.

Trial and error! Just roll on shore and hope you dont hit any! i guees another way to detonate the mines safely is to put the 8 inch guns on them....... But prior to the sherman crab, thats what they did! in WW1? they just rolled over no mans land and hoped they didnt hit anything!

[jolly22]

There mines all over, you just may not no it yet but there also know as tress and bushes!!! They flip u over and leave u there to DIE

They don't ave palm trees on the beaches in this game

Good reason......NOT any seceific reason? I'm trying to implant a decent feature to the game that could do all countries good for defence.

As I stated if you want your towns defended then up and defend them.  Land mines are just about the stupidest thing I could ever think of adding to this game.  If you can't defend against a vehicle that has an open top, goes 10mph through the water, 25mph over land and is the easiest thing in the game to kill other than jeeps than you deserve to lose your bases.  Also land mines are indiscriminate, they don't know if what hits them is friend or foe so they would have to kill anything that comes in contact with them.

It's just another aspect to the game that was implemented in WW2 and had decent casualties. This is another defence mechanism that was used, It;s just a cool feature to add to the game.

As to this, then so be it.....I'm sure it happened during WW2 and i doubt any tanks rolled right on the beach. If you did it i nthe game, then you are at your own risk.

No.

Mines are probably the second worst thing that could be done to the ground war.  In EVERY other game you have them, they serve as a mindless and retarded way of getting kills without putting any effort in.

Think 'claynoobs' in CoD and Battlefield.  Then get 5 claynoobs together, stick them in an M3, give them the ability to travel at 50 mph, reload, and blow up vehicles.  Add in a dweebish 13 year old who thinks getting kills at any expense is the only way to have fun.  Result: complete and utter retardation, noobishness, killing of GV fights, FPS dropping to zero as 50 dweebs drop 500,000 mines around a base 'because it's so awesomely strategically important!!!ONE!!!1111ONE!!!11', aforementioned dweebs crying when the arena resets 5 minutes later, and overall chaos and a breakup of the universe's time-space continuum.

So in conclusion, no.  Just no.

edit:nice word filter...replace 'noob' w/ a suitable word rhyming with 'door'...

Negative, you didn't read my post correctly.......I said they AUTO RESPAWN and detonate on contact, sort of like auto ack. No manned effort included.

Sorry for my lack of reading skills (and/or seeing the word 'mines' and automatically thinking of claynoobs)

And still, I'm completely opposed to this.  Few things are more annoying in games than to be randomly blown up for no good reason.  Having auto-generated mines would be just as annoying as manually placed ones (if not more, since you wouldn't be able to come back and bomb the tard who'd placed them in the first place ).

  It would add more suspense to base taking and would make or break your chance to capture the base, i think it would be a lot of fun to TRY to navigate through the mines.

I'm not driving for 20 minutes through water with some tin can so that i now also have to worry about mines being all over the area. It's bad enough that a pack of rabid squirrels could tear through its armor.

Should i make a list of the million things to be afraid of when in an Lvt?

Go for it Thats why there is such thing as a Sherman Crab to denotate the mines safely.

That's not coming anytime soon. Well... Maybe two weeks? 

I'm going to post one reason every time you post to reply to me.

It's already a suicide to try to land troops with it. Imagine having mines now.

EDIT: If you don't understand the reason let me shorten it.

It drives 10mph (Or so it shows, more like 1mph) in water, every gun, including friendly ones sometimes, are shooting at me.

I like the idea and the one with the idea of them being used as "supps" - but I would say have the mines out there as normal. This would require the attacking for to do what the bombers at Normandy, D-Day -1 failed to do due to the weather. Drop eggs and blow them to pieces! Can get an "object destroyed" or something plus some minor points. However; you might get the padders trying to bomb every enemy shore in the map LOL

WW2 wasnt no push over for conqering land either! This game makes WW2 look super easy, i'm just recommending an aspect that was very effective to stopping the US in its track during WW2
