MatildaII Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Would anyone know if this unit type can remove mines at all? so far they just walk over the mine to det them off! I know art maybe the best way to destroy mines but would be good to use this unit for this and not just using as back up infantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakaprutt Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 this action will be possible in TOW Korea but atm Engineers are just basic infantry, no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knokke Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Every infantry in the game can remove mines, with a varying degree of success. The higher the scouting skill of the unit, the more chances he has to detect mines. The most important factor is the stance of the unit: units advancing at a crawl have more chances of avoiding mines, while units running have almost no chances of avoiding them.

Vinnart Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If every infantry can remove mines, what specialty do the engineers have? What is their role in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatildaII Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 After trying diff stance's and move rates they still only detected mines by moving over them dying or injured, the speed makes no diff and leaving the unit in an area where mines are make's no diff in detecting mine and removing them. it seem as if this has been over looked in the game and would be nice if they gave the combat engineer's an option in their action box to clear mines etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakaprutt Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 i didnt know you could remove mines with arty?! I didnt know you could remove mines at all. how do you use infantry to remove them? well arty is not a successfull way to remove mines ... got super lucky if you succeed to open a path in a minefield with direct fire or arty tried once just for test in Africa : 3 PZ4D + "bang-boom-boom" = first PZ4D blown out to remove mines with infantry, just use their left foot, walking on a mine with the left foot is Overpowered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
