They aren't THAT bad. Place some REs with the proxies and it's an game over for any non-hardened tank. Haven't used the Boundless all that much, but five F/45s take out any LAV (I think). I don't really care whether they receive a buff or not, but they're not a joke, just tricky to use effectively (like most/all of the AV).
I was going to use that Installation...

I find that being able to drop 13 of them in a area that tanks like to roll though more than makes up for their individual weakness.
Just do the math. 750 damage * 13 proxi mines = 9750 damage. That is far more than any tank can deal with in a single blast. Seems like they are just fine to me.
Try two things to make your proxi mines more effective.
- Drop more of them. On an advanced logi fit you can have all three types of non-aur proxies which lets you drop 10 mines. A quick run back to a supply depot will let you drop 2 more proto mines and one more advanced mine. There is your 13 total.
- Place them in narrow areas that tankers often drive through quickly. Stay away from entrances to cities since these are areas tankers are typically cautions about. Place them slightly off of the entrance, on a road, or right near an objective. If you're feeling adventurous run out behind a tank, drop the proxies, have a buddy forge the tank in the front then watch the fun.
- Smile and laugh an evil laugh since you know you will be farming cups of sweet, sweet tears.
Fun > Realism

proxies are not stronger due to the fact auto trigger damage of that magnitude would be to op.

Yeees Yeees Yeees. This has been said million times and for the millionth time, that works only in FW (and PC).
Proximity mines could use some rework definitely. There are still cases when the LAV just flies over them not taking damage. So please make them detonate faster. Otherwise they are quite good.

Honestly they should just decrease blast radius but do the same amount of damage, same should apply for the rocket launchers on assault dropships |

The only buff Proxies need are to remove that stupid warning beep for tankers. |

You set it on the ground... done. Its not a skill-set thing to do, so why buff it?
3 REs will kill any tank just about. But you can't just let the automated mechanic do it for you.
Swarms and Proximity Mines are perfect right now.
