Yeah you were kicking some ass, I don't remember ever seeing you go 2.0+ KDR back to back rounds and I think last 3 rounds you cleared 2.0.

That was fun, unfortunately for a while there I got stuck in a random squad with 3 snipers doing absolutely nothing on oasis... that was real annoying.

I love playing Vietnam in hardcore. Fast pace and instant death. You hit someone with an M14 they die. No body armor perks. No radar. No ammo count.

I approve this message, mines are one of my favorite tools. I just got sick of tanks hiding and repairing, rather 1 shot them.

Good luck, it's very hard to stand on a chopper. The pilot has to move very slow so you don't slide off. Any decent tankers just going to knock that slow moving target out of the sky. It's also hard to drop mines from the sky, they bounce ridiculously high and the direction seems very random.

Oh I was thinking just dropping them from the fourth seat of the transport heli like it appeared he did a few times. I can't be too high up tho of course. Yeah the pilot in that video is just as important/skillful as the dude with the mines.

Yeah mines are super fun and effective. It just sucks hard being without a projectile explosive tho. It always seems like I choose the worst time. Note you can have up to 5 mines on the ground at any time and they stay even if you switch classes. Drop a sixth and the first disappears btw.

That might be without the explosives perk. Pretty sure I can have 7 or 8 down.

Ah I was mistaken. Just did a google and it looks like six is max. Don't think explosive perk affects how many you can drop rather what you can carry but this is easy enough to actually test and see...

I always kinda figured it was 6, but never tested it with the mines. Just figured since you can only have 6 C4 out at once, it probably applies to the mines as well, but good to know for sure.

Yeah. I've never kept dropping them in front of me until they start disappearing but think I will now both with and without perk.

I think the most important point for people to know is that all mines that one plants within a certain number stay there until they explode or you drop one too many no matter what else you do short of changing teams or leaving the server. Apparently in BC1 they would disappear just upon dying. Frankly, it makes sense to always start as engie with mines and then switch to whatever kit you really want after you lay them in opportune spots and get killed. Of course, I don't always do that myself (sometimes simply forget...until I get killed by a mine lol)

6 sounds right, takes 2 to pop a tank and I know you can have down 3 sets of them. After that need an ammo box because that last one isn't enough so I lose track.

Does it take two even with no armor perk?

Yeah, even if you have upgraded explosive damage it still will almost always take 2. So make sure not to use that with landmines, it's pretty pointless.

I used C4 last night right at the entrance to the A flag on HM. Threw down about 4 and waited for a tank to roll in. He parked almost on top of them and took out the tank that way.

Fwiw, I also killed a nemesis after I spawned with C4. He must have been near the Jeep that I had C4 on. I was trying to pull the drive, dive, and blow move but got killed. When I spawned I switched over to the trigger to see if it would blow. Probably a surprise to him.

Can't win with only 2. I need at least 4:



First round when I joined, I did most of the killing and I was the last to join the server:

c4 trigger shouldn't work after respawn. if someone shot the c4 it would give you the points though.
