As if demo can't be planted underground too.

I would love to see engineers getting XP/vet for kills by mines and democharges. If that gets implemented I will be shedding tears of happiness.

/Signed.

Its hard enough to vet them, for even as small an advatage as it gives.

But I will do you one better too:

How about theybaslo Vet from repair!

I don't know what 'theybaslo' means, but I assume it's 'they get' vet
It would be cool

I KNEW someone would notice that, but I thought it was funny, so I left it deliberately unfixed.

Its meant to say "they also"

In this game itisn't, it's placed on the surface. The Ostheer AI mines have signposts, I think Demo should be equally visible too. Anyway, the point isn't about asthaetics or reality, it's about an invisible bomb that can wipes several squads. it's imbalanced.


I'm not against demo as a concept, I'm not even against only the allies having it (excluding OKW booby traps), I'm against it being possible to place it anywhere you like and get easy 2-click squad wipes.



Frikadelle - I agree that good decisions like positioning should be rewarded, but isn't the reward for a simple demo placement too high? If OKW or Ostheer players were doing this to you all the time, would you still feel it is ok?

Yes I would because they have alot of other advantages It's assymetrical balance still

What I mean is, if you were getting demoed and losing full squads, would you still be saying it was ok? Hypothetically. 'Cos for me it spoils the game to have a 2-click squad deleter

Also, am I wrong or in the past did you need LoS to detonate it? Was that true, was it changed?

It would be interesting to see if demo charges were still used if they were changed to only be buildable on bridges and buildings. Right now they're just used as uber mines.
