blow56 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I note that the Brits, with its 1.20 patch, includes a fix for mine marking, simply described as 'Mine marking works properly' In what way? My engineers mark mines as they always did and, as they always do, they move into the field to do it. Once marked, I try to move them out and - bam - I lose one or more to mines. That doesn't seem proper to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkEzra Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Once the minefield is spotted Keep your engineers in place until the Red Mine sign turns green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blow56 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Okay - I kept my Engineers until the marker changed colour, to yellow (amber one presumes). Never thought to leave them longer, of course. Can't actually understand why the program includes Yellow, since it is just as uncleared as Red, but I suppose it gives a visual clue as to progress.

bodkin Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Can the engineers actually detect mines? If you slow move them into an area you suspect is mined will they automatically stop and start to clear it or does it still require someone to sacrifice a leg to find them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmoney Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 As far as I know the mines still have to blow to detect them. Which in my opinion is the one big fault of the otherwise awesome game. There could be so many more options for scenarios if mine detecting was in. You could do an accurate opening attack through a mine field while tanks and infantry provide cover fire etc..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
