Replay request for Teller mine bug

From what I know, Teller mines have issues causing engine damage vs British tanks. It is also a fact that British tanks have larger hitboxes than other tanks, on average. However, since correlation doesn't always imply causation, let's get the facts straight

1. Before, I launch off to a wild goose chase, I need to have the following questions answered:
- Yes, Teller mines do occasionally bug vs Cromwells and Churchills
- Do Schu mines ever bug against the same tanks?
- Do Teller mines bug more than other mines against other tanks? I think I have once seen an SU-76 receive no damage from them.
- Has anyone ever seen any allied mine ever bug vs an Axis tank?

2. In order to be able to fix a bug, I need to test a fix. And, in order to test a fix, I need to know how to trigger the bug in the first place (no, I am not going to drive 500 Cromwells over a Teller mine hoping one will die).
- Is the angle of approach important?
- Does elevation matter?
- etc, etc

> Precise reproduction steps more than welcome.

Be nice, and be fast, and Santa might just have a bugfix waiting for you :-)

As far as I know, from my own experience, the tanks that can cause the teller mine bug are vehicles that are very fast. M10s, cromwells and comets seem the biggest offenders in my memory.

But I have seen it happen with T34-85s and even IS2s too. There was this one cast of Imperial Dane where a Sherman hit a teller mine but nothing happened. The sherman hit it frontally, not with its rear facing it.


This is all I know of it. I am sorry if this isn't helpful.

1. Before, I launch off to a wild goose chase, I need to have the following questions answered:
- Yes, Teller mines do occasionally bug vs Cromwells and Churchills
I have seen multiple tellers bug on Churchills, also on Cromwells like they are Jezus.
- Do Schu mines ever bug against the same tanks?
Never witnessed in like 900 hours playing OKW that a Schu mines bug at all.
- Do Teller mines bug more than other mines against other tanks? I think I have once seen an SU-76 receive no damage from them.
100%, for some reason I feel like they are the only bugging mine
- Has anyone ever seen any allied mine ever bug vs an Axis tank?
Nope, never seen it happen. Seems that only the Teller Mine bugs

2. In order to be able to fix a bug, I need to test a fix. And, in order to test a fix, I need to know how to trigger the bug in the first place (no, I am not going to drive 500 Cromwells over a Teller mine hoping one will die).

I have seen this happen with t34 also (on a road driving straight to it).
Have not seen it happen with any allied mine...

Conversely. Has anyone seen the m20 mine or the riegel mine ever bug at all? (assuming that other people do use them that is)

I was able to continuously 5-6 reproduce it by placing the mine in the same crate where it fist happened. Seems to be related with the terrain...pm if you want the replay but it easily does in cheat more steeps island near on the road near fuel.

Thx, I'll try!

Machine also mentioned something about placing mines in pre-existing craters. I'll have a go at it, and I'll let you know if I get stuck.

As was written above there are some specific places on the maps that bugged for tellers. It is known issue.

Just had a game against OST as Brits, the OST players P4 went near my mine, well out of range yet, it blew up...with no damage at all to the P4.

it does not seem as if the P4 moved over the mine maybe the mine was hit by an explosives weapon?

Check the mini map, nothing was near it or shooting at/near it, this was the only action in the game
