I haven't tried this in FW but flux grenades don't detonate equipment, they just disable it, so there's your method for removal. |

As to the OP's idea of vehicle specific remotes, hell yeh Give them a longer arming and detonation timer with the reduced blast radius plus increased damage and I'd love them. |

And have normal Remote Explosives do less damage to vehicles, then I'll definitely get behind this. 501st Headstrong wrote:You guys do know there are Proximity Mines right? You know, they're used in different ways. Proximity Explosives are proactive. AV Remote Explosives would be reactive.
1 remote does the damage of about 2.5 proxies. There's a reason proxies are only of use in mine mountains |

Flux grenades detonate REs. I know, I killed somebody with his own RE that way.
Cool, and cheers, as ya saved me possible getting kicked testing it I'm with the rep tool having a secondary function of explosives removal so. |

He wasn't paying attention and ran right past me, place a remote and stood right on top of it as he hacked a CRU. 
Haha, those type of kills are the best. |

Good stuff  I'd be happy even reducing the splash to only 20%/25% of current. |
