In the past, I have seen demo charges placed in the snow. They looked like weapons you can pick up, but either this was something that was changed in the patch or this is an exploit.
Unless of course, this is a feature.
Demo charges on Ice

Had an american team use this on me today. How is someone supposed to counter this? You can't see them. You can't detect them. Unless you catch them placing it, they are completely undetectable. And they can be built in the first several minutes of the game.

Minesweeper? Attack ground?
PD: had you ever seen the small AT mines on ice? That's evil.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Sweepers work on demos? I looked at the description on the Coh2 unit guide (http://www.coh2.org/guides/2573/german-unit-guide) and they say the hazard removal upgrade detects mines but says nothing about demolition charges. If you've used them to do so, I'll believe you. I have no experience using them in this capacity.

Sweepers will detect demos, and I'm actually not sure if they will disarm them, as I have never tried due to the fact that I don't want my face to explode in the process.
Not sure if there is something odd going on with demos & ice this patch, though.

Sweepers detect demos but do not disarm. You must manually detonate demos by attack ground or grenades.

They will detect, but not disarm.
You need to shoot something that have some penetration/throw nade on it.
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.

Will they detect at a safe distance or will they die if the demo is set off?

They will be at a safe distance, you just have to pay attention.
BTW, does anyone else think "Demo Charges on Ice" sounds like a Broadway show?

Demo charge is really expensive and it is the perfect way to punishing blobbers on city maps.
Nothing more fun then wiping 4-5 squads while their owner a-moves them between buildings.

I'm sure i disarmed a Demo with my sweepers. But you have to be very carfully because the other player can still detonate the demo while you disarm it.

It's the perfect way to punish anyone who builds infantry.
It practically disables harrassing points, you have to send a detector unit around with a grenade-throwing unit. Generally it's hard to spare that much manpower for harrassing so you often have to just accept you can't do it. Or expect to lose squads to the 2-click cheese-bomb.

Why the hell do soviets even need demo? So Axis can never garrison a house ever again? There's no bunker spam in this game. They should make it auo-detonate after 5-seconds. That leaves the demolition ability in the game without the silly hidden death button.
Remove it or just give it to Axis for a while, then see what the soviet/ami players say when they're losing their vetted inf squad by squad to a 2-click weapon.
Let's keep it constructive

Honestly the German forces do need someyhing like a demo charge. It is kinda not fair that Soviet and USAF < with the doctrine > can have demo charges while the OKW and Wehr do not get anything remotly similar. And those two factions tend to fight with blobs much often anyways. Would love to punish some USAF rifle blobs with well placed demo charge but nope. Try to predict where will he move when he hears the Stuka... Argh.

Mine sweepers detect demo charges and can disable them (unless they changed something about it this patch, didn't try it yet). It is simply not a really good way to get rid of the demos. Your unit has to get directly above them to defuse. The second they start defusing the demo can't be triggered anymore, but if your opposing player is carefully watching he can trigger right before, wiping an upgraded squad.

Let's remove demolition charges if axis factions lose all infiltration infantry, ok?
We need a way to destroy buildings earlygame to avoid lame squads spawning behind us. By the way, each demo are 90 ammo. Even if you cheese with them, is a fucking expensive cheese.
