Glubokii Boy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hello... What do you guys think about booby traps in the WW2-games ? Having some kind of mine that you could place inside a building that would go off if enemy troops enter that building. Would that be: good ?, bad ?, or simply frustrating having half a squad blown away when you enter a building ? Was booby traps even used in any significant way during WW2 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having some kind of mine that you could place inside a building that would go off if enemy troops enter that building. Interesting. Would that be: good ?, bad ?, or simply frustrating having half a squad blown away when you enter a building ? Good if it is an enemy squad and frustrating if it is one of mine . But taking buildings can be frustrating anyways, if the occupying squad has a short covering arc they will only start shooting when your guys are at point blank range just outside the doorstep, usually whiping out the group you sent to occupy the building. That is why i tend to surpress buildings that i am going to occupy even if i dont know for sur ethat something enemy is inside. Was booby traps even used in any significant way during WW2 ? Probably, but that is just my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidan1 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 We already have anti personnel and anti tank mines in game. Can they be placed in structures? Not sure, but they would serve adequately as a boobytrap IMO. What else could you booby trap if you had that option, that would in anyway influence game play other than the way mines do now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I semi accomplished it by creating ruins without building bases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Was booby traps even used in any significant way during WW2 ? Oh lord yes! In some armies, retreating soldiers would even booby trap the bodies of slain comrades. You go to bury the poor bastard and you become one more statistic. There was a mini-arms race in the sense that considerable ingenuity was expended in devising booby traps and methods for discovering and disarming them all through the war.

Would that be: good ?, bad ?, or simply frustrating having half a squad blown away when you enter a building ? Was booby traps even used in any significant way during WW2 ? I am reading some books now on the eastern front, in preparation for the release of Red Thunder. Both sides used booby traps. Maybe booby traps could be modeled in the game by the use of anti-personnel mines inside buildings. But next I suppose the question would be if you had a multistory structure could the game engine handle placing AP mines (the booby traps) on different floors of buildings and could engineers clear them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yes...If we could place AP-mines inside buildings i'm sure they would work fine as booby traps... Maybe that would be the best solution... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
