AT mine tip

[barz26]

A lot of people will already know this but i know a few wont so here goes.

Did you know that if you place an AT mine on the top of a tank/jeep/buggy/APC etc as soon as it moves it goes off?

Ive noticed some people while playing and mates aswell, use 2 mines when setting a trap for vehicles, 1 at the back and 1 at the front so as soon as the enemy get in, which ever direction they go in they will set off one of the mines.

This is a bit of a waste, using 2 mines when only 1 will go off. Place 1 mine on the roof and when the unsuspecting occupants start on their merry way....!!!KABOOM!!! :)

Like i said you probably already know but knowledge is power:)

[xplosive]

never knew that thanks for the tip mate

[Haymaker88]

aye same cheers but it seems a bit unrealistic ( yes i know bf2 isnt a ****ing simulation )

Be warey of this one.

If you leave a vehicle while in the detonation radius of a friendly mine, it will go off when the vehicle goes neutral.

Not noticed that one mate. I've driven a jeep near a flag, jumped out to capture (as in a jeep your asking to be grenaded) and chucked an AT mine in the back. half way through capturing the flag one of the enemy jumped in and it went off. But it didn't go off until he jumped in.

or what if no enemy ever gets in and ur team mate does... then u've used 2 mines for nothing.

Get a sniper buddy, you be engineer and let him place 1 claymore on each side of the road directly across from each other and then put a mine infront of each and when a tank or w/e rols by and sets off the claymores, it will throw the mines into the tank and kill it.

It works if done right, I've done it and seen it doen.

It's true. A neutral vehicle (nobody in it) will detonate mines. For example, if you get out of your car, and push that car into the mine, it will asplode and possibly destroy the vehicle you're in as well.

Edit: You can put mines on an UNMOVING neutral vehicle, but once it goes in motion (with no friendlies inside) it will detonate.

[|CBW|Simon]

I've reproduced and verified (Because I was getting nicked for TK's) this one. Go in as an engineer. Plant a mine in front of a jeep. Wait a few seconds for the mine to arm. Get in the jeep. Drive on top of the mine. Get out.

but that would work if the mine was in the road aswell.

All im saying is, your going for a flag, there's 2 APC's and a tank and you have 2 mines left which would normally be enough to cover one if the enemy spawns and jumps in. you could use the 2 mines and place 1 on each of the APC roof, which covers both vehicles and then jump in the tank and safely take the flag....as an example for instance:)

..............then wait 2 minutes and the vehicle starts to burn and explode because you've taken it off its spawn point!

It used be a lot easier in the past to run up behind a tank and throw a mine onto it. Now of course we have to jump onto it first and drop it.

Always a useful trick, kinda like the spec-ops attaching C4 to a tank as it drives over him.

[USARANGER]

i always put 2 mines down (front+back) if i see an enemy tank or apc. cause sometimes if i put one on top it doesnt always go off when it moves

Yeah, had that happend a few times. :cry:

[Miniman]

greta tip here.

always place mines in dark spots, so they blend in, or in long grass. also, place them jsut round corners - if somebody comes down a road and sees a mine ahead, theyll jsut go round it, but if they come round a corner, its to late :>

[PaWg]

Easier just to crawl underneath and lay a mine, enemy cant see it and as soon as they jump in-BOOM!!!:D

Yes, while it does work sometimes it doesn't seem to be reliable.

yea i use car drops to clear roadways for my guys whenever im commander, so i would be annoyed by this, cuz noobs get out of tanks whenever they see something shiny. but its so helpful in getting tanks to flags

[KangarooSalesman]

Here's a really funny tip... If you see an enemy mine, you can place your mine directly on top of it and it will clip through. So, when an enemy tank comes around the corner, he sees the mine from his team and does not see the one from yours...BOOOOM!

Very funny when they say "Hey, I thought FF was off for mines on this server!"

That move is always useful. I always use it to clear bridges that some engineer blocked off with mines. Sometimes, when I see an engineer place some mines near the tank with he's capping a flag, the tank will try not to move. So I drop a vehicle and knock the tank and he blows up.

If tk mines if off, and you get out of a moving vehicle over a mine it will explode. If you wait for the vehicle to completely stop, then get out, you'll have no problems.

some funny (good) tips there,

back in my dc days i used to put the mine on the bonet of a car and get in (any seat but not the drivers seat as it would expload)

if you ever tried it you will no what happens :)

if you didnt then ill spare you a reinstall of the game to find out.

the jeep would slowly sink in the ground now thats some serious steath.

was funny doing it againts enemy bots in coop they would all huddle around the area (basacaly on top of you) after gathering about 15-20 or so i would enter the driver seat and boooooooom im dead but 15-20 bots are 40 ft in the air.

that was a funny at mine bug.

slighty of topic there but i thought i share a old one with everybody.

[Venomous]

lol what about when the ff mode for the mine is off does it just go around with you or fall off?

[Turnip]

Why not just stick 1 infront of the back wheel, its basically guanteed to go off whether they drive forward or backwards.

It also backfires though, a friendly tank or APC (that could be abouts to cap a flag that will save your team) sees your friendly mine and drives over it only to be blown up by the enemys mine. The trick had backfired. Though it doesn't affect you i suppose lol so worth the risk....
