Why should tankers even have a warning about mines at all? They're fricken MINES. Meant to be a booby trap basically.
Yes that could cause just people spamming mines all over, but that could easily be fixed by a total mine limit allowed to be placed during a battle by a team, just like there's a team cap on vehicles in a match.
It's a trap! In this patch we can't repel firepower of that magnitude! - Admiral Ackbar would say in ambush w Nyain San

Well you are only using explosives and I do have a hyper advanced state of the art tank with basic scanning potential..... but you make a fair point.
See, I guess here's what I could see as sensible. Mines wouldn't even have to be "insta kill" for tanks even like the proto ones are right now. I'd be all for a damage reduction to them if they couldn't be detectible by vehicles. That way, tankers would have to rely on infantry members to check things like access points to complexes or cities. They could be an "indirect/passive deterrent". They could be an AV function that greatly weakens tanks, but still requires other AV to finish them off. Like they'll blow through a great deal of their shields and/or armor through the hardeners even, but still require guys with a forge gun or other AV to blow them up.
They also need the "triggering" on them fixed, needs to be instant. I can't tell you how many matches I've been in where I've watched HAVs and LAVs constantly just roll right over the top of them without them going off.
