Why S mine field exist in this game?

Because it do not see a reason why it should be cleared faster than it is build.

It seem to you main issue is clear the minefield under fire and that has little to do with clearing time.

Clearing mines under fire is dangerous for all factions.

His take reads a lot like your posts, except you do it for allies instead of axis

Honestly. If minefield is only in soviet. I will complain about it too.
I'm not pulling faction OP argurment.

You might want to start playing Axis before commenting on stuff. That is not how planting S-mines works.


On S-mines themselves, balance wise they are fine since the suppression nerf. The long defusing time does suck though, but I don't think that could be fixed.

The minefield is pretty pointless, so almost no one uses it. Easily destroyed by mortar strike. The only way a minefield can to work is when retreating units run across the field and are completely destroyed. The Soviet wirefield was much more useful.

I think this ability should be doctrinal or might be rework in other way.and only 1 faction have this KInd of ability.

-I literally has an issue about smine field when I losing an area and my opposite start to planting it on critical area(such as fuel,ammo or supply line). in 1vs1.


A problem of this minesfield is not about Its damage or It have a sign , a problem is
-It took too much time(around 6-8 sec )for clear it out by mine sweeper that time is long enough for make your opposite can run to defense an area that you're about to attack and you can't fight while you're stand on a minefield especially when Opposite have mortar / tank in a field.
-To clear By mortar or AT will took longer and uneffective.sometime It still explode in same area that it was BOOM for some reason.

In my opinion
Rework is only way to solved this issues .

-change planting type to match other AI mine Sminefield now only plant 1 boxes.
-reduce box size 30%.
-remove sign.
-price reduce to 15.
-damage remain same.

Wouldn't that be a direct buff? You can now plant the same 4x4 area of mines without a sign.

Reminds me of the mines (can't remember the exact name) from the Soviet Urban Defense Tactics. Which were in fact a single S-mine and which absolutely no one used.

Think they're PMD-6 mines or something. They're available on any commander with the bunkers I'm pretty sure..

EDIT: but yeah nobody uses them. I dont remember whether they're 5 muni or 15 but if they are 15 muni for one mine it's total ass compared to tripwire flares.
