rvalle Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 "Typical average rates of uninterrupted operations - includes recording and marking. By hand, buried -Engineer Troop or 40 x infantrymen can lay: 125 x AT mines per hour in daylight. 75 x AT mines per hour by night. 75 X AT mines plus 225 x anti-personnel mines per hour in daylight. 45 x AT mines plus 135 x anti-personnel mines per hour by night. 600 x anti-personnel mines per hour in daylight. 360 x anti-personnel mines per hour by night. By hand, unburied - Engineer Troop or 40 x infantrymen can lay three times as many unburied mines as buried mines in the same time." First Clash Combat close-up in World War Three by Kenneth Macksey Wow.. that is a lot of anti-personnel mines.

Vanir Ausf B Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 If a mine layer couldn't lay mines would it still be a mine layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hofbauer Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 well, according to Maximus, they were not marked, so if you subtract the time for marking them then you should even increase the ROML (rate of mine-laying) above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvalle Posted July 18, 2001 Author Share Posted July 18, 2001 I wonder how many mines are in a cm mine field. How many cm fields could be layed in an hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Saunders Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Something I recently discovered about minefields. Don't shoot heavy artillery at units in the minefield. It sorta clears it, even if it does in the units at point of impact. Then they just come pouring through the gap created by explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leading character would always describe things as the "the second biggest/fastest/longest/whatever I ever saw!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
