What would be the point of mines if they weren't a threat? If mines didnt kill my squads, i wouldn't upgrade pios to get a minesweeper.Nobody is suggesting not making them a threat. People are simply upset that 240 or 320 manpower gets lost to a mine.

Well, cataclaw lost M3, flame engies and shock squad to a single mine field.
All mines are really potent.
Try sometimes placing a teller or minefield instead of getting LMG, grens don't really need these LMGs to beat cons.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

I gotta agree that it would be cool if AOE was toned down just a lil bit and replaced with suppresion like in coh1.

I think the T35 mine should behave like all the other explosives and have a dropoff of damage. If this makes the mines inconsistent maybe add suppression back to them (which worked great in vcoh)
Well somebody posted the exaxt same idea as me

Did you build minesweepers after that?
Also I place my mines on roads most of the time as they are transportation routes for tanks more often than not. Does negative armour modifier affects mines damage? If yes, maybe that's the reason of squad wipes?
Additional damage has no effect on squad wipe potential for soviet mines, since they are already dealing 100% damage in their whole explosion radius.
Which is 200 damage, slightly higher than HP of infantrymen.

in my opinion soviet mines need to work like this
Damage inner radius: 200 (killing the soldier/s who actually trigger it and dealing high dmg to vehicles)
Damage outer radius: 40 (same as s-mines / still heavy dmg = might wipe injured squads, wont wipe full health squads)
i might be ignorant of something relevant here... but then ignorance is strength.
especially when discussing balance

S-mine fields come with obvious signs, cost twice as much and gives its victims the chance to halt if they stumble upon it. If a S-mine field wipes a squad it is usually due to incompetence on the Soviet side unless it is placed in a retreat path. Soviet mines are stealthy sons of guns that regularly wipe entire squads that step on them.

Players are not AI, they aren't omni aware.
Even the best ones will hit the mines.
And its not like its hard or takes long to plant s-mine field on retreat path either.

Yes I had at least on sweeper in every game. Kind of funny I had a stray mortar shell land need one of my pios while clearing a mine... :|.

I would say that they can kill one or 2 of your squad and damage the rest of the squad that you have to retread, that would be okay. But in my opinion the worst thing is , that they instandly kill a scoutcar, it´s a really expensiv unit and the best early counter to soviet scoutcars , i hate t35 mines

I totally understand why the mines kill scoutcars, but it kinda goes a bit against the concept of a scout car, if you can only use it behind slow pios, because you have to fear mines. Also its not that easy for Pioneers to ceck the enemy half of the map for mines, because well, there are enemys.
Possible Solution: Maybe make it so that mines don't insta kill scoutcars but always give heavy engine damage or even immobilized + almost one hit a Scoutcar (not for heavyer vewhicles.) so that you can maybe save it, if you have a mg nearby? Hmm, not really a good solution.

I play mostly 1v1 and my post are with 1v1 in mind.

Mines are laid in territory that is in the fog of war for the opposing player, therefore they are of a defensive nature, although aggressive placement is perfectly possible.
If your scout car pursues a retreating squad you made an internal valuation weighing the risks (hitting a mine and loosing your sc, m3 or t70) against the rewards (killing the squad). If you hit a mine (regardless of whether it is a sc, m3 or t70) you did that willingly and knowingly and by no means should you get out of it.
This principle applies for both factions.
The potency of mines against infantry however is absolutely something that can be discussed.

I don't mind making mines so they won't instance kill full health squads but tbh Relic didn't address this at all even if people are complaining about almost from the beginning. I guess they are happy with how Soviet mines perform so right now the best option is to go for minesweepers.

Soviet mines does too much damage, people saying that it's becuase units bunch up is just talking nonsense. The mine kills everything in it's blast radius there is no damage reduction at outer edge its the same damage all around it. Of course mines are supposed to be lethal but vCoH mines are lethal and they didn't have to wipe out an entire squad consistently.

Fact is the blast damage is tremendous, I underlined this by giving light to the numbers and compare them to other weapons with explosive blast. The TM-35 mine outranges all comparable weapons and falls out of Relics concept for explosive weapons (consistant blast damage drop off).
This mine is MUCH more potentent and deadly then any mortar and even more potent than artillery. For 30 munitions and right from them start? I doubt this is intended.
I have no problem if the mine kills the models (1 or 2) that happens to stand in the center of the blast and leave the rest that stand in the outer area of the blast heavily damaged. Thats more than enough for 30 munitions if you ask me.
But I am still guessing that this is not intended and asking someone at Relic to give some info on this subject.

P.S. the same goes in some way for the Ostheer Tellermine. It has the same "blast damage profile". The difference is it won't trigger when infantry walks over it. But if a squad heppens to be near when it goes off -> Dead!
