Mr m4gic Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 19	Posted - 2013.11.20 19:19:00 - [5] - Quote yh but swap them and the av grenades would be crap, they aren't all tht easy to throw the range on them is pretty sucky they should lvl the damge on the mines and the av grenades, if they brought back the sticky bombs for busting tanks tht would be great, it wasn't the easiest task getting close to a tank, when theres loadsa infantry running around and the tank trying to blast the hell out of you, but it was a fun way to take them out.

Also, if it really did "nothing" then sounds like a bad glitch or a stroke of bad luck, considering there is a decent damage bonus for the underbelly of all ground vehicles.

Yeah, lay them out in a line along the likely path of travel: Prox -> RE -> Prox -> RE -> RE -> Prox. Boom, 1500x3+750x3 = 6750 explosive damage.

You need to lay them out on their likely flee path and then encourage them to travel that way with some packed AV/Swarms. Granted, when I go mining, I carry all three varieties and I've got a well established system for doing it (yay for patterns of 15 prox mines) Praise St. Arzad and Pass the Nanohives Karin Midular, gone, never forgotten Executing Amarr Trash since Closed Beta

RISE of LEGION 183	Posted - 2013.11.20 20:13:00 - [12] - Quote I have proto prox mines and if there is one bit of AV that needs lookign into then these are it. i can lay 16 at max i think it is yet half the time an LAV can speed tank it and a logi lav just waltz's through like they're thumb tacks on the road. i proposed a bigger/faster detaection radius as well as increasing the blast damage by 50 hp per stage (std/adv/proto) to give them more kick. tanks arn't too bad if you can convince them to drive over them but almost every tank has scanners now so see the prox mines and just divert so perhaps reduce the scan profile as they move up too or at proto level introduce a stelth mine which do less damage but avoid vehicle scanners and require proto hand scanners to detect?

If my minefield is violated my enemy LAVs, I'll set up another along a high traffic area. I use mines both actively (as a trap I goad enemy vehicles towards) and passively (as a tool for area denial). I am a big fan of explosives and would love to get a mining crew together for HAV/LAV murder. Funny anecdote related to killing vehicles: Yesterday, I killed a HAV with my Toxin SMG (seriously, no bs).

I have to say, I thought using remotes on proxies only worked when friendly fire was on, which as we know at the moment is only PC. Friendly grenades and fluxes don't touch friendly remotes or proxies and to my knowledge neither did proxies blow up the remote. I know people that though they saw it before but it was just the proxies blowing up the LAV and then the LAV explosion set of the remotes. I'll try to test it next time I'm playing. I have good success using them to block down most of the complex socket entrances from LAVs, but if I can now start using them as primers for remotes I'm going to be reaping alot more tears
