1) Russian player floats more muni beccause he doesn't rely on them as heavily as Germans
2) Russian mines cost 35, Germans cost 60
3) Teller mines are nice to have but you are relying on luck which is not a reliable way to play
4) Mines usually get detonated if anything (mortar, rifle nade, tank shell, etc.) detonates anywhere near them
That is not true at all, I blow through munitions like crazy... Moltovs, fire up, flamethrower upgrade, mines, Half Track Upgrade, Precision Strike (Mortar, Katusha, or Howtizer) , Bombing Run. Between all of that I NEVER float... Don't know what you're talking about floating, plus I've seen Stephen play constantly in 1 v 1's where he puts down tellers especially when he knows his armor is coming in late, and has made a point to not only announce it in his Live Feed but to also state that it's his Current form of Anti-Tank in a given moment/segment. He's done this CONSTANTLY... maybe not in anticipation for a KV-8 but in anticipation of any vehicle nevertheless....
And how can you honestly say that when you put down a mine you're relying on luck? I put down tons of Tellers to counter tier 3 rush, and they are well placed. A strategically placed teller is NOT luck... Are you going to say when I bate you into a Teller, that's luck too?
