travcrouse Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 In CMSF, could General Purpose rounds from mortars and/or artillery be used to clear out a suspected minefield? A scenario briefing tells me that the only crossing for a wadi is mined. Its a small area, and I thought about calling in a heavy linear 155mm GP mission to detonate the suspected mines... Before I waste the precious ammo, anyone know if this will work? MICLIC workaround ;^P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoex Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Won't work, unfortunately. Mines in CMSF are only triggered by contact with personnel or vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I don't think that works in game. It's not too useful in that role in real life, either, more likely just making later mine clearance more difficult because the explosions moves loose soil around and crater the ground, while insane concentrations of ordnance are required for reliably destroying the mines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 By coincidence I had reason to thoroughly test this out a month or two back. Mine clearing by artillery definitely doesn't work. At one point my infantry actually stepped into a deep crater and set off a mine at the bottom! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
