RDX takes out motion mines??

[jojobiz]

i tried it a couple of times and it seems to work. good alternative if u don't have MMB with u. :D

[Ghiblian]

Yes it does. I've almost stopped playing engineer recently (it had been previously my most played kit and still is on the stats side) because my recon can take out just about any vehicle the engineer can take out with the exception of the gunship, it can clear out mines, and it can do a whole bunch of interesting tactical combinations.

True but you have to get real close if your recon. Engy is my second most used kit(after support)

That's what active camo is for. =]

Until the gunner with support netbat gets a nice red diamond on you and tears you to shreds.

Yeah, as if the squeal of your camo disengaging won’t make a good driver step on the gass and kick your ***. Not that a proper vehicle whore wouldnt do anything as silly as remaining stationary in a area where he has no infantry cover, and is under constant threat of commander weapons.

But please, feel free to hop around like a monkey while frantically tossing RDX everywhere but on me so I can sprint away and farm you as another kill. Don’t do anything silly like dropping motion mines to kill/immobilize me while you run up under me and one-shot me.

My k/d ratio will appreciate it.

You might have noticed that most vehicles make quite a noise most of the time. That and your a giant target so you're always on the look out for engineers. Makes it pretty easy to sneak up on a vehicle sometimes.

I have been noticing recently that I enjoy playing engineer more and more. That is so especially on large conquest maps like Suez

*takes mental note to look for motion mines* Ya i play 95% recon so this is helpful

Hmm, never even thought of using RDX. Just knew about the Zeller.

[Arid]

The Zeller dosent take out MM's. Belive me ive emptied like 30 bullets into those things and not even one of them has gone boom.

[Non-Gypsy]

zeller for sure explodes apms, motion mines and rdx....dunno what you are aiming at if they arent exploding.

I do it all the time to mess with engies. You sure you are hitting them with the Zellar?

There are so many options for sneaking up on vehicles. You don't have to decloak right next to them. Or if they are watching out for an engineer that is ready to take them down, you can quickly run in and plant some RDX. Or place the RDX on the ground where they are headed. Or drop them from overhead. Or do it under the cover of other noises. I'm not speaking from theoretics here. RDX works quite well in many cases. I like the engineer, it's my most used kit. But there are so many fun things to do with recon that I've been playing it a lot recently. That's all.

Your second statement seems specific to walkers (sprint away). Dropping motion mines WHILE you run up to the walker is such a bad idea... Those motion mines take quite a while to activate, and you'd have to be pretty bad for an engineer to one-shot you compared to RDX you.
