Are they completely useless, especially with the upcoming equipment bandwidth? I've only ever died to them once, and they had to be spammed in the middle of the road.

If your smart with them, they are effective. Right out in the open in the middle of the road, not a good idea.
Find those rocky spots in the roads and slip a few in, put them at ascents or descents on the road.
Redline exits.
Cover them with a Nano hive or Uplinks so people think they're driving over different equipment and scans will be less discernible about there being explosives there c:

Apperently not.
1. Proximity mines are low on banwidth.
2. When you use bandwidth booster module you can deploy more now, but don't swich dropsuit. This is good advice for module in pilot dropsuit , because you have low attack chance and you can always make 'active anti-armor modules' on your marauder.
Just lay down proxy on your vehicle. Now you can ram!
3. soon(tm)

This is a valid concern.
(Even though proxies are not totally useless, they have some supportive ability)

My guess is they will become very rare.
Because, that's why.

If even rarer than now, that is a sad thing.
For two years I've been the forerunner in using proxies, even in the most dreadful times, and I've noticed and silently saluted every other proxy user I've seen. Even now, that has been a rare incident.
I guess I'll be the sole mammoth in the future as well.

i got no choice except to phase them out or use a few bare minimum. Before i had a full set with the boundless ones and everything.
My ADV logi AV with full proxy mines costs 70,000ISK. Under the new system, I have to be in a proto suit all the time. Getting ambushed and killed putting mines in a 70,000ISK suit was already painful enough. I dont have the kind of financial weight to take these kind of losses in a AK.0 suit.
Besides, whats the point of setting creative/deceptive anti vehicle traps that are full or personal risk when a proto scout can just switch to a proto commando with proto swarms and kill a tank in seconds, then switch back with zero consequence. I cant compete with that kind of switching. |

Which is why proximity explosives should be AA with high bandwidth, or a variant be made like so :)

This is my concern, but oh well... My minefields of 15 mines are going to be a thing of the past now. *shrugs*

not not useless at all at proto level. 1 single proxy will not do it.. not even 3 will. you need to pile at least 7 up and to do that you probably best with a logi suit where you can fit both adv and proto proxies. sometimes a HAV will survive the 7 pile so with a nanohive will allow you too pile up 2 more for a total of 9, i dont think anything will survive that.

If you were infantry I may have killed you...
Was going to shoot one to destroy it (had no flux) and a guy ran over it the second it was destroyed... that wasn't you was it? if so sorry you kinda deserved it though for walking over it.

I use them nearly every match. I get kills with them nearly every match.
After bandwidth, they will be pretty useless if you have other equipment priorities to attend to.

Nah, i'm a logi when my brother is a heavy, but I normally ferry him around in my ads or tank. Plus, that death was months ago. I was thinking of putting a few skills into proxies, but idk.
