  • Do you like blowing things up with mines in Battlefield 4? Would you like to learn more about land mines, and the best strategies, tips, and tricks for using them? I go over those in this video. I talk about the ways in which you can place, conceal, and use your mines in clever ways to get more kills and outsmart your enemies.

    I like trolling the mine-laying guys with the MAV. If you're lucky and you wait for the right opportunity sometimes you can blow up a vehicle plus a bunch of guys. It never gets old

  • @wyrmlight7446
    @wyrmlight7446 4 роки тому +4

    The problem especially now so many years later is it feels like 99% of tank drivers run thermal optics now, you see the odd one with zoom optics. They drive around with it almost always on so the only time I ever get AT mine kills is from transport vehicles speeding through. Hiding your mines a little bit behind a box or some cover works but it's unreliable unless they drive right next to it for some reason. Throwing flares around can help too but they burn out before tanks usually go past.
    Thermals should have always made mines HARDER to see not easier to see I really don't understand their decision to make them stand out so much at all.

    just a thought, as a tanker mines and slams are easy to spot with thermal,
    how about dropping mines and throwing a flare on them
    this will disable thermal and make harder to see, they burn for ages as well , just a thought
    probably regret posting this lol

    @charliemarley598 5 років тому +5

    The AA mine is used for specific traps as well. The best way I have found is to mostly deploy it when a chopper is close and on you, the AA mine will give it a mobility hit and you then follow that up with a with a good rpg shot. I will post a vid a link later

  • @phalanx3803
    @phalanx3803 4 роки тому +8

    tip for snipers if you spot enemy mines as long as there are no friendly tanks around leave them and wait for an enemy vehicle then shoot the mine just before the vehicle Passes over them its so satisfying seeing an enemy tank taken out by friendly mines.

    • @vodkaboy
      @vodkaboy 2 роки тому +1

      you can also use the jamming device (it throws some kind of projectile, not sure how it's called) on the MAV to destroy mines for the same effect, also works with claymores/C4 and infantry.

    • @phalanx3803

    Yes, mine laying is an art form. IED Mine... nice, must try this.
    I didn't know you could crawl past mines because to me mines have magnetic and pressure fuses so crawling a tank over mines makes no sense to me.
    If you wanted to go on a vehicle murdering rampage, mines especially the versatile M2 are amazing. But I switched back to the repair tool on Conquest to more useful as a team player. In fewer objective modes like Rush Defence, CTF, Obliteration; I'm still weighing up which works better larger route denial with obvious M15 pizzas or going for the vehicle kill with concealed M2 books.

    FLARES 🔥 are best put down next to mines, they blind all FLIR/IRNV so they can’t spot the mines. On Shanghai bridge are best choke points...it’s easy get 1st or 3rd in points and average 35-45 kills

    • @darthveda
      @darthveda  10 років тому

      The results may be different if you back over them, but in all my tests, 2 M15s were required to destroy an IFV. Symthic corroborates this finding as their vehicle health is identical.
      The IFVs are, strangely enough, more resilient to rockets shot at their rear. (50 damage against tanks vs. 35ish for an IFV).
