Proximity mine are pretty ineffective at doing anything unless you set a full mine field. This coming form someone that sets traps pretty often in tank heavy maps. If you lay down only proto mines in one area, it is usually never enough to kill a tank. But if you pill on all 3 sets, normal, adv and proto, you can usually get a tank as long as you put them close together so they stack and do massive damage at once.
This leads me to question, should we have to have 3 sets of proximity mines just to kill a tank?
I believe that proxies need a minor damage buff at all levels.
In addition, I would like to see the range of the blast increase. Reason? you will see times when LAVs will run over proxies and the LAV is traveling so fast that it can avoid blasts from proxies. This may be more due to lag issues and explosions delays but a couple meters could help here.

lower skill requirement to L1standard, L3advanced, L5proto instead of L2standard L4advanced L5proto
(1 3 2 4 are the levels for standard and advanced mines)
max carried 6
max active 6
0.25s trigger timer
(L0)*Militia 750 (4.5m splash)
(L1)standard 850 (5m splash)
(L3)adv 950 (5m splash)
(L5)proto 1050 (6m splash)
*add mines to militia equipment too with the usual increased PG and CPU use
lower nanite consumption for replenishing on a 6 to 1 scale of 6 standard mines = 1 full standard hive worth of nanites
the damage may look OP to some but will give more choice of where to place them and tanks/LAVs will be forced to look where they are going or rely on team mates cleaning them up
having more of them would certainly help and seems like a hot fix type item.

exactly. Why should you need a logi suit with at least 3 slots and all levels of proximity mines to kill lavs and tanks.

Proxies can be considered OHK weapons and CCP is against having such weapons. If you want 3 proto proxies to kill a tank or to carry enough with just one slot, then it's only appropriate to give them a larger beeping radius to give a fair warning to incoming vehicles before they get OHK'ed.
I would counter with, I think infantry should be able to hear and see them easier and make it a team effort. Not 3 proto proxies but the full 5 set should be able to kill just about any tank that does not have an hardner on.

This may be more due to lag issues and explosions delays but a couple meters could help here. They need to buff the radius, and it would be nice if they set each other off in normal pub matches. Then you could overlap the radiuses so that any tank that hits one additionally takes damage from the others in proximity (proximity mine hello). I find the problem right now is you have to cluster them in one spot, when they should be an area of denial tool. You should be able to spread them out a bit and cause massive damage from the chain reaction that follows, not cluster them and hope a tank drives right over it for a kill or massive damage. I know when I drove my tank, I'll see a line of them but it's pretty easy to simply drive over them hitting just one or 2 for very little damage.
yes I was pushing for a slight damage or count increase and a radius of damage increase.
