Demo Charges should be allowed only on buildings

Sure, then give it to axis players too, since they have to deal with a-move warriors for months now.

For that reasons you have mine fields, heat seeking ISGs and most cost effective and powerful HMG at T0 I believe.

Tools are there, its up to the primals to learn to use them or stick to smashing everything with the same stone with "(volks)grenadier" carved on it.

Also, what do you think booby traps are? You know, these auto going off demo charges that you can place on points for 50 muni as OKW, so its not like axis doesn't have anything similar.

Sure, they need to be placed on points, but thats where 90% of demos are being placed as well for close to twice the cost and you need to anticipate where opponent will stand.

Bottom line is, axis DOES have something similar.

Also, can Obersoldaten booby-trap points?

Seriously, you can avoid 90% of them without minesweepers.

How? By micro.

Most of the time, demos are placed on points, where you have vision.
So if you just send a squad and they automaticly go in to the middle, then puff, but micro them by ordering to cap point at the edge and there you go, useless demo.

Of course, better player can forsee that and he will place demo at the end of the circle on the side closets to enemy. Solution? Go around and cap from his side.

Another way to dodge them is to jump over fences. For example Faymonville, right side fuel point has small way thourgh fences. Perfect for a demo. Solution? Jump over fence. There are many places like this, perfect for demo, but easy to feel them.

etc...
etc..
etc.

You need to have game feeling where demo should be.

And a Stuka on foot, a Katyusha like a Panzerwerfer, a CAS commander and some all supressing MGs for allies.

Maybe there could be a small ticking sound and 3-5 second timer on it, would make avoiding them a lot easier, or basically make the engineer squad be tied to the demo with an upgrade of some sort, like demolition package (30 ammo upgrade) which allows you to place demos for 90 and make one of the models have the detonator instead of a rifle

3-5 seconds? So it will never kill anything then? 90ammo to kill zilch. Great idea.

Jump back to quoted post17 Nov 2015, 14:56 PMPlaguer

The idea there is to give a warning to the enemy player, the ticking would say to them that there's a demo close by, 3 seconds might be the right time for it

Even though I love playing soviets I still hate the demo mechanic

All supressing mgs for allies? Haven't heard of the vickers have you? Don't remember how good maxim spam is huh?
