Why do S mines have signs?

ok I guess 2v2 doesnt count. anyway

I did a test with soviet mines



4 man gren squad only got one-shot wiped once out of 9 tries,and that was only when i purposefully bunched up their formation myself. Otherwise they took anywhere between 1 and 3 losses,depending on bunchyness. Squads get wiped when they bunch up around corners or into doors, not in wide open fields or long corridors, which isnt a problem with the soviet mine,but a problem with squad bunchy wedgie ai.

Meanwhile,s-mines still wipe whole rifle squads if ur not 1000% on ur game,regardless of how much they bunch up.

1 from 10 on open field means alot tbh. now imagine semoski or other more narrow maps and there you have your good chance of a wipe.

Would just lowering the cost of the minefield be enough? Imo the area denial part of s-mines a good idea, but cost prevents larger fields. If they were cheaper they could be used as intended to delay enemy flanks and movement, forcing the enemy to dedicate manpower and time to sweeping.

After 1st mine hit sweeper is a must. And then when you hit 9 mines while having sweeper its l2p issue.

Also 10 mines is 300 munny whitch is quite a lot.

Yes cover , housing , narrow roads makes a lot but then your opponent outplay you if he mine building entrances and you are not able to sweep them.

Demo is however a lot worse because you cant sweep it and it always wipes

Yes because demo dies to small arms.

Or maybe just use sweepers in midle of map where are houses and bad pathing ? becuase everywhere lese except bridges and Vp entrances (you can vault = problem of mines solved) semoskiy is open map

Id swear that USF has a mine voice. I think the rifles who just got puddinged on yell, "Ugh, MINES!"

im not gonna say im 100% sure since some of you guys would know far better than I, but im like 99.5% sure.

100% sure, did it yesterday in a 2v2 AT where i swept a demo and asked my mate what to do now and he said attack move rightclick it and i did. effect was pio shooting the demo and it exploded after 0.5 sec fire from small arms.

how am i gonna reason with your logic when im one of the biggest usf fanbois on this forum and i still have more axis games and therefore more expierience against these nuclear soviet mines than you?

No the other guy was saying that you could exploit the fact that the minefield had suppression by retreating a squad through it rather than sweeping it with a sweeper squad.

Which i think is insane because if you retreat through an s mine field your gonna get wiped

wow you are going all defenisve fanboism mode isn't it shampoocreem?

So a more expensive mine field can be seen, does NOT instant wipe squad, can retreat, can be crushed with M20, must have 4 BIG ASS Signs because otherwise it would be OP and how is it any more ok to have an invisible Soviet/US mine that costs 30 munition that can likly squad wipe and damage vehicles, can only be detected by sweeper?

and please, people who have higher rank, thus play better, have better logics and idea about this game than you do.
