Watching the player you just did it to 3 times in a row logoff.....as close to pure joy as one can get. I too miss the good old days of Dust beyond a passion. merc safe everyone o7 I was more partial to leaving RE on my own team's Uplinks. At one point it seemed like half of DUST players preferred to melee Uplanks rather than wasting ammo. - Drop and forget. Can go do other things. - Random +50 kills popping up to bust your moral. - Knowing that you just defended and uplink, as the RE usually would not kill friendly uplinks. - Teaching people that there are sometime consequences for petty vandalism. That RE-on-top-of-Uplink bullshittery was the worst scumbaggery I have ever encountered in a game, but it was golden.
I always carried Flux Grenades for clearing uplinks. I particularly liked taking out uplinks on the floor above me. They would work through a floor, or a wall, and I did not have to wary about Remote Explosives as I would stand well clear.

Flux grenades were the best grenades.
I always really wanted to throw REs on ULs, but I couldn't spare them from the hacking consoles. It was an easy way to create a little chaos as a hacker. Flux the console, throw down an RE, hack the console, and run. Towards the end I caught many fewer people not looking for REs, but for a (surprisingly) long time people just didn't check a console before hacking. Lots of easy kills that way.
Pretty sure I even caught Ripley Riley like that once :D
When I ran RE I liked to carry 3 different types. Then I would use one detonator to cover objectives, use another type to cover uplinks, and still have a set for general mayhem.
I called this my Mad Bomber fit. 
I think 5 kills with a single RE was my record, although I might have gotten 6 once. I saw a YouTube of someone getting 7 kills with a detonation.
I took Jehad Jeeps one step father placing the remotes on all sides of the LAV, driving to the enemy held objective in a Domination match, then bailing and running, trying to hit the detonator as soon as I was out of range. The most satisfying though was one time when I died before I had a chance to detonate the explosives, but then the enemy hacked my LAV and 3 of them took it for a joyride.
Boom!
I also tried Jehad Dropships, which sort of worked, but I was not the greatest pilot so I did not always manage to crash in the right spot. But when done right is was like an Orbital Strike. Basically 9 RE places around the perimeter of a 15m long ellipse shape.
Oh, and the time I put an RE on the side of a friendly Tank and an enemy shot the tank with a ForgeGun from 4m away and killed himself. That was funny! The Tanker could not stop laughing.
