The primary benefit of the doctrinal mines is that they are cheap mines that you can lay down fadt, and are available at all infantry.

I don't know if I would prefer laying down 1 enginee mine over a doctrinal mine on a chokepoint. However on an open map I would consider laying 3 special mines over 1 normal mine over open field.

The cheapo mines are also occasionally useful if your enemy likes to spam indirect fire and is blowing up your mines, and creating craters for your cobscripts to ambush from in the process.

More crucially the doctrinal mine is only triggeed by vehicles. So, use thqt if you've wiped the enrmy pioneer squad and the enemy starts sweeping mines with their squads

We are talking about computer games, the stats that elchino is talking about is all that rule that game so actually "the paper" is the reality. But it does not have to equal with user experience for multiple reasons such as:
1. Bias - its often seen that players tend to see same unit as bad when they build it and good when opponent is using it.
2. Graphical effects - it is easy to see in the case of 120mm mortar. It has such a huge and realistic graphical and sound effect that people tend to think its better than it actually is.
3. Using bad measures of effectivness - in the case of mortar, kill count is not exactly the right measure becouse its mainly a damage dealer, not a model killer. Its very easy to still kills from the mortar and the kill count is very dependant on how well your opponent manages healing. The AoE and scatter character of the weapon also means that it is always going to perform much better (in terms of model kills) against allies, just becouse of bigger squad size.

Even if that metric was a good one, why exactly do you think that a mortar that deals 33% more damage (15-20) is worth 42% higher cost (240-340)?

The new patch wasnt so new after all. We are back to Maxim spam plus 120mm spam where Russians just sit there and pick you apart. Good luck saving for that Pwerfer lol and even more luck hitting smth...
