A fun mine strat: smoke and mirrors find active enemy vehicle, figure out where it's going or lure it with capping a point, place mines on the path it will take when you see the vehicle coming throw smoke on the mines, most drivers think you did that to block them shooting at you and drive right through, and then they're dead.
Zander823 I found a better tactic: place mines on a road on Monte Grappa on Conquest and camp on a hill until a driver comes by. Then, throw an AT nade to get his attention, then nosh him and make him chase you to the mines. Another pro tactic is to put mines behind a tank while the driver is camping and throw an AT nade towards the part of the tank near the mines. Mines blow up from nade and u get a mine kill or two
If you put AT mines on top of a fence, and drive through the fence with a vehicle, in a way that the mines fall on the vehicle, you can suicide bomb an enemy tank by driving the vehicle into an enemy tank. I would recommend a bike for this. The easiest place to do this is in Sinai Desert (maghara battery). Sorry for my bad english. PS i hope you see this comment, because this tactique is the most effective way to use AT mines (and the most fun way) PPS Keep doing these awesome videos!
The "Sneaky bastard" approach to mine laying works best for me. You have to stay hidden from the tank and sneak up on it from behind, place the mines as close to the tank as possible then detonate with a nade or bullet. It also helps if you make the minimap a bit bigger and use the full map button to maximize your situational awareness.
My mines make me go suicidal - I place them right under tanks, so the moment they start moving BAM! we're all dead. Mighty fun though =) Oh and, thanks for the PSDPP - neat!
effective mine strat: place it on a box, run that box over with a bike(hopefuly the mine will stick on the bike), then drive the bike into an enemy vehicle or near an enemy soilder and exit the bike: this will couse the bike to instantly explode and kill the infi or tanks around it.
To get the Hellriegel Defensive you get to make 25 AT mine kills. Everyone balks at it because it's apparently hard to do. Well...I disagree. Just as with everything in BF1, positioning is everything. If you study the gameplay a bit it's usually obvious what the preferred routes of armour are. Most drivers are pretty dumb, actually. I started playing with mines now and I think they're pretty useful. More useful than AT grenades anyway...well, unless all one cares about is throwing things that go boom for the easy kills.
Totally agree. I can sneak up on a landship w/ my AT nades and rocket gun and if i can somehow manage to get them all on target before dying, I might get a disable. Or I can sneak up the same way throw down a few mines, chuck a frag and walk away from a doomed tank. One of these is much more effective than the other.
The only map I was able to get AT kills with was Monte Grappa, because you could easily tell where enemy tanks will go. However, even that was hard since you kinda had to get close to enemy spawn without being spotted, killed in the process and have your mines get destroyed. I hated this stupid gadget before but this task made me rage at it because it's unreliable as hell and if you want to get a chance of getting a kill with it, you first have to put yourself at risk to get it into an advantagous position and gamble for it not being discovered. Just take some grenades and rockets, way easier, more reliable and not nearly as infuriating.
Polar Wolf I got it by outsmarting the enemy. i would shoot the ground with AT rockets where the enemies always drive near their spawn and then place all my mines in the dark hole that i made
The damage makes no sense for the sides you hit, usually tanks have thicker armored up front so damage is reduced, usually the backs and sides are most vulnerable, especially on a tank like the Renault with its engines in the back.
ElectableDane I agree, but the later Renault tanks had a backblast shielded bumper to reduce the chance of getting hit from the rear. I know it's not entirely realistic, but the FT is pretty much useless if you have more than one enemy firing AT rockets while your engine is disabled.
I really can't understand why more people don't sub and watch these in depth BF1 vids...probably the most informative and easy to understand info on the game I've ever seen in all of Battlefield history. 🤔
Bingo, thats what i do, start the round with the mines, place them down then when i die i switch them out. If i get a kill with them or notice they are gone i just replace them next time i spawn. I tend to run with AT grenades and dynamite as both are dual purpose. That said i have started using the rocket gun abit more lately instead of dynamite to increase my ranged abilities, some maps are just way too open to use dynamite effectively against vehicles. Great video by the way, keep up the good work. Just subbed as well :)
great video man, you've earned another subscriber right here! The mines in the water is equally brilliant and evil! I have to admit I have used that spot and got a number of my 25 mine kills (hellriegel defensive progress) from that spot. Not useful, but I do find it funny that whatever you use to set to mines off counts as a kill for that weapon, so for example if you were to shoot the mine with the kolibri, it would count as a kolibri kill, extra funny if it's next to a heavy tank!
The limpet charge is by far my favorite! so fun to use if used correctly. I love how when you throw it it can actually stick to enemies. Once i snuck up behind a sniper and threw a limpet and it stuck to his back, he didn't even realize until he blew up. :) fun times in a fun game.
Also how to rush a tank 101. Step 1: equip an AT rocket gun Step 2: equip AT grenades Step 3: equip light AT grenade (wish rogue covered that grenade in this video tbh) Step 4: throw both AT grenades and the light AT grenade at an unsuspecting tank Step 5: pull out rocket gun quickly and fire. If everything hit any artillery truck or damaged heavy tank or lighter grade vehicle will be destroyed Step 6: (heavy tank) load another AT round and fire it Step 7: at full health the third and final shot will destroy any heavy tank that you started with. Disabling the engine/tracks is recommended for it too
Can confirm, assault troopers in world war one used wireless magic dynamite sticks. They detonated through magic blasting caps. 100% true, good going dice.
AT Mines are class. Always spawn in with them at the start of the round. Place them in a decent place. They will no despawn when you die. So they will say there as long as nobody sees them. You will pretty much always get at least 1 AT Mine kill a round.
Mashmarriner69 do AT mines despawn if I change class? Like, I spawn as Assault at the beginning, place some AT mines and then respawn as a Scout or medic.
I always used AT mines for only selective points in a battle. Plus you can lay down a total of 6 mines in total if you get resupplied without them disappearing when you die. Though i didn't think about the fat fortress trick..thanks for that.
Considering the gadgets as anti-vehicle, mines are definately the best since you can blow it up at once (tanks cannot retreat and repair). I use them at spawn locations of tanks, or actively by throwing smoke, closing the distance fast and react as well as I can on where the tank is going. This requires some experience with the smokes though, since it's extremely important that these are thrown in the right place (they need to block the vision of the tank, which is probably going to drive backwards).
I use the AT mines a lot and have about 300+ kills with them They work best in Operations if you are on the defensive team. Just place them on the strategic roads before retreating, and you are guaranteed a kill if you place two of them next to each other and a tank hits them. A full tank is up to 5 kills. A lot of tank drivers just follow the roads into the strategic checkout, so it is easy to place them, if you know the checkpoints and the roads. You will be surprised to see how many tank drivers actually just follow the roads without using the terrain.
In the Sahara desert map their is a rock arch you can destroy. If u use all you AT mines and use dynamite to detonate them you can blow up the arch and crush unfortunate enemies below
AT Mines are really useful. If you know there are gonna be fatty enemies coming in, like in Argonne forest at point B. Place an at the door and lay down with gun aiming at it. The mine does BuKu dmg and I've gotten doubles with it before. This method is alot easier to get ur 25 kills than the regular means
I use mines and dynamite together. You have a much larger area of effect if you place one at mine and onetime dynamite near each other or you can make an explosion chain with dynamite and at interlocking, good for anti infantry or vehicles.
I like to use the AT mine to take care of careless tankers, as you can deploy them around the tank and will in a few seconds or using another explosive take out the tank.
On very contested area you can find dozens on craters, like on the road of Monte-Grappa. Vehicles will strugle going off-road because it's steep, so they stay on. If 2 or 3 teammates set some mines, the enemy vehicle will eather blow up, or ride slowly, cautiously and waste its shells firing into craters to blow mines, making it an easier target for bombers, other vehicles or infantry. But keep in mind that if the enemy spots your mine, it can use them against you by shooting at them when youre close. I'm a bit ashamed of it, but I also like to infiltrate near the enemy vehicle spawn, set some mines and watch a brand new enemy vehicle blowing up before even seeing action. To help teammates unlocking the mosin nagant marksman, you can also set dynamite or AT mine near their tripwire bombs.
I always run AT Grenades and AT Mines on my Assault kit. It's pretty similar to my SMAW M15 loadout on my Battlefield 4 Engineer kit. Mines are just a great deterrent in general for me. As with many things, experience is what makes these effective. By playing enough matches, you can find out what walls or buildings tanks usually drive through in an attempt to eliminate hiding spots. One such example is the wall on Ballroom Blitz that separates D & E from each other. Putting mines on the friendly side of the wall can leave a nasty surprise for anyone trying to break through. Also, knowing the spawn vehicle routes or even where vehicles spawn on certain objectives can lead to what I would image are infuriating deaths for the enemy.
+D00DLEMAN149 when I was recording footage for the episode, I was planning on getting some of the Ballroom Blitz wall that you mentioned to use at the point where I was talking about hiding spots. The previous clip ran over, so I didn't include it in the end but it's a great place for sure!
I thought it was really funny when I was watching and when you started on hiding spots you mentioned just about everywhere I put mine (no pun intended). Now everyone will know lol
I mostly always put 3 dynamite on my nest of land mines it works pretty great as an on demand nuke for basically anything on the other team that gets too close
The best way to use AT Mines in my opinion is to attach them to a motorcycle. It's really easy to attach the mines once you've practiced a bit and it means you don't have to wait for a tank or bait it in you just drive the mines into it.
Note to DICE: please increase the blast radius of the AT mines to 4 meters (maybe even more). That way, you can turn them into supportive boobytraps by placing them in LOS for a friendly sniper or yourself, and if a bunch of enemies run by and you're a somewhat good shot - BOOM!
Early mine kills alerting the enemy team to the usage of mines will slow them down for the rest of the match as they will have to scan the ground for these or suffer. 700+ mine kills, this by only running Assault the first life out of the gate, placing mines and then only again if the mines are destoyed or I kill something.
My experience with using the mines is that it is best to go around the combat hotspots and place them on the most traveled route from their base to the current contested objective. Since the fight is so far away from them most drivers think the road to said objective is safe and thus just drive straight into their immediate demise
something that some people don't know about AT mines no matter how many times you get resupplied or spawn in you can only have a maximum of 3 mines deployed at any one time placing a fourth mine removes the first (the same thing happens with trip mines)
After the hellrigel defensive quest i started using AT mines moar i put them in shadows and foxholes on chokes like C flag on empires edgy tanks always try to drive to d from that point use terrain deformation to ur advantage :P
My strategy is going to be to place 2 mines like in the video, but place the third in a separate location next to some dynamite so when it goes off it will also detonate the dynamite, destroying the vehicle and giving my credit for the at mine kill
Sometimes i use dynamite and mines and then i put up two of my mines and then the other one with the Dynamite. If the Mine explodes the Dynamite will go off too and destroy heavy vehicles. This way i can have 2 traps at the same time.
just had an idea, you could maybe combine explosions from dynamite and tank mines so that you can kill 2 tanks instantly instead of one. placing mines and dynamite together with combined power maybe could net 2 vehicles, further testing required
The only one that sometimes isn't worth picking up is the LMG Sentry, and that's if you anticipate a lot of short-range combat or that you'll be unable to reach medium range combat from long.
The mines get more kills because with the other weapons most people in the tank bail out beside 1 but usually 3 or so people are in vehicle when the mines get them cause they don't have low HP so they don't think they are going to die.
Best thing to do When your trying to get AA mine Kills is the map you mentioned AND in operations: Beyond The Marne, and simply play as a german cause the French team is gonna have like what 6-7 Tanks, and placing mines all over the damn place your gonna be thrilled so hard. Oh and placing Mines BELOW or BEHIND the enemy Camping vechicles, when you do that just go in front of there view and hiliariously they'll always drive backwards. Hope this helps for alot of people trying to get the 2nd tier hellriegel
I have a major issue with the at mines. Some maps where the enemy can get close to your line they will place them right on top of the vehicle spawn point. You instantly blow up upon spawning in and it's super fucking annoying. If it's not instant you move an inch forward or back and still get blown up. It really makes a one sided difference when you have two teams battling with armor and I think EA should fix the spawns to where the enemy can't place a mine on the tank spawns
just plant 2 mines really quick that's really it. soon as it moves its done. but to make sure you get the kill shoot or throw grenade. it seems too long to plant a mine switch gadgets and throw dynamite.
It took me awhile to get the hellriegel defensive. I charged tanks and went around them hoping they would either back up or run over it. Look for tanks camping on hills getting kills with their cannons, and definitely place mines outside the main road out of the hostile spawn. Stay patient. If you are terrible like I am with mines, your going to lose your will to live and a few decimals off your KD. I did finish it though. It wasn't super hard but it was a steep learning curve and mediocre level grind.
What about mines : i usually pick smoke grenades, throw them near enemy tank than i put the mines down in front or behind that tank, if he will not blow himself up, i throw AT grenade, it works incredibly well especially when enemy team is not protecting that tank at all. - it is some kind of active usage of mines in bf1 to me.
There is always the console method of at mines where tank guns can't move as fast so the assault player can just rush the tank and place the mines down without the tank knowing even though they are being shot because there is no animation for the mines
if you were running mines and dynamite, would it be possible to make two traps? have two mines in one location and have one + 3 dynamite in another spot.
@Rogue-9 One fact you forgot to mention, after you placed 3 mines and it did not detonated yet, placing new mines with somehow overwrite the mines you put earlier by order you put them. Let say you put mines in sequence from left to right, the next batch of mines you placed will remove the left mine you put earlier 1st, then the middle mine, then lastly the right mine.
Very good point! The same goes for any other gadget as well (dynamite, healthpack, ammo, tripwires etc.); once you use your full loadout and place more, they start disappearing
I love using dynamite in domination and putting it in the spots where people stand in the objective. Even when I'm capturing an objective across the map BOOM unsuspecting noobs just got trolled
I think the AT mines deserve to be the most underused explosive for the assault since you can no longer place AT mines toguether to each other which makes them something to just spam around the battlefield since their small blast radiud makes them impossible to detonate each other
Dynamite is kinda situational but i dont think that its overrated. On ps4 for example i have sometimes gotten more kills with dynamite than my primary weapon. And on pc it can be usefull too for throwing over a wall that the enemy is hiding behind in a gunfight.
you should really consider a career audiobooks or something. youre voice is so....soothing...no homo lol... oh and btw your stats must be wrong. the amount of times i get killed by noskill splash dmg rifle at rocket gunners is unreal....(as infantry)
Hehe, thanks! And re the dmg stats, I looked it up in the code and tested it twice by shooting 10cm beside a full health soldier. Im pretty sure it's 64-65... maybe they get you with debris or something?
interesting. i just realized alot of ppl complaining about the at-gunners and it felt like i got killed by them alot. i guess i was just unlucky for a few rounds ;)
This gives me an idea, why not place mines in buildings to wreck them? I do this all the time with the dynamite, but maybe AT mines are actually better at this?
Works for sure, just a little hard to trigger. I guess place them on the floor below the enemies, then run out and either shoot them or throw in a grenade
I've found that the best way is to drop an AT mine and then drop dynamite to set it off, this gives you 3 uses before reloading and allows you to wreck buildings far better I'd say.
I always run mines. Two right on top of rach other, but never centered in the path. Rather, place them hard right or left so they look like environment, but juuuuuust catch the edge of the vehicle. Paaaaaaaaaaid
How to use mines? On the one night map (not neville). They're literally invisible and the tanks can only go down the cramped roads. Too many times teammates run past em and im coming down with a FT-17 supporting them and I blow up randomly
1 AT Mine plus 2 dynamite is also guaranteed to destroy any tank. Lets you set 2 spots at once of guaranteed tank kills. Also I've found myself able to more reliably kill tanks with AT mines than with other gadgets when soloing.
Easiest solo is throw your 3 dynamite then ur at grenades to detonatr the dynamite and then finish the tank of with your last at u can do this easily just have to be sneaky
just plant 2 mines really quick that's really it. soon as it moves its done. but to make sure you get the kill shoot or throw grenade. it seems too long to plant a mine switch gadgets and throw dynamite. do you have to set off the dynamite or will the mine detonate it?
I didn't read all the replies but perhaps instead of PSDPP(?), you could lay one mine with two packs of dynamite? Then two mines together? In the first deployment, wouldn't the mine going off set off the dynamite too, killing the tank?
I still think you should do a related series called "what's the point?" where you examine weapons that are statistically similar to determine if one of them is essentially useless.
Conundrum I think such a series would have been great for BF4 (with so many similar weapons), but BF1 has fewer weapons which are more diverse, so idk how long such a series would last with only a few weapons.
Could definitely work well for pistols. There are quite a few pistols that have the exact same damage and drop off pattern and it could be cool to see what makes them different and which one is better
I think there's a real question also about whether or not the 12ga Auto still fills a role in light of the existence of the Inertial, as well as whether or not it's worth using the MP18 (which seems like there's little point in using it instead of either the Automatico for hipfiring or the Hellriegel for aimed firing), the Lewis Gun versus the superior damage LMGs, the Autoloading 8 (5 round) versus the Selbstlader 1906, and possibly a few other seriously overshadowed guns I can think of.
if you go that way, it could make sense. However they're not really statistically similar, are they? I can't say anything about the 12G vs Inertial (don't own the DLC), but there are definitely some arguments for using the MP 18, Lewis gun, etc. MP 18 has superior hipfire and controllability. You can comfortably hipfire the MP 18 all the way to 50m and beyond, and its DPS isn't terrible. Also has some pretty easy recoil. (I do think SMG balance needs some tweaks, but the MP 18 isn't useless in the least). Lewis Gun has both controllability and high capacity on its side, especially with the Suppressive variant. Its hipfire is also surprisingly good. It's a longer range LMG, but it has capacity advantages over both the M1909 and Huot, and is reasonably controllable as said before. (an interesting comparison would be the Huot and M1909 though) Auto 8 has very quick TTK on its side (making it good at close/medium range), while the 1906 has low recoil and high accuracy on its side, for long range.
MP18 has superior hipfire to the Hellriegel, but the same hipfire as the other SMGs and a lower rate of fire than the Automatico. Basically, if you're gonna hipfire, go with the Automatico. If you're not, go with any other SMG. Is the Auto 8's potential ROF significantly higher than the 1906?
Here a mine srat worth trying, if you succeed: find a tree next to road where vehicles usually pass by, then place your mines on road, use some other gadget to detonate and make tree fall over your mines to hide them. Never tried it myself, only died to that.
I've tried to get that info... Battlefieldtracker don't show a breakdown by vehicle variant (only type) and they're not responding to my questions. Reached out to EA/Dice and even though they responded, they don't publish info like that... not looking good at the moment :-/
Money on most used's being the defaults for most, because some players are too dumb to know there's anything else. Money on least used being: Support Landship, Flamethrower Tank (might change soon with its buff), Close Support LT (also might change soon), AA Truck (this one's obvious as it's useless in multiple game modes), Gas Tank.
Conundrum I think the least used Artillery Truck would probably be the morter one. I find people all the time who the default and AA, but almost never the morter one
A fun mine strat: smoke and mirrors find active enemy vehicle, figure out where it's going or lure it with capping a point, place mines on the path it will take when you see the vehicle coming throw smoke on the mines, most drivers think you did that to block them shooting at you and drive right through, and then they're dead.
Clever, I'll have to try that!
Lure camping Artillery Truck to not follow you at all and continue camping respawn.
Zander823 I found a better tactic: place mines on a road on Monte Grappa on Conquest and camp on a hill until a driver comes by. Then, throw an AT nade to get his attention, then nosh him and make him chase you to the mines. Another pro tactic is to put mines behind a tank while the driver is camping and throw an AT nade towards the part of the tank near the mines. Mines blow up from nade and u get a mine kill or two
Zander823 good idea! I gotta try this
OfficialSid My trick is place them between cars when the train is stopped
I laughed so hard at PSDPP.
😀 👌
Rogue-9 if you're not already doing it you should make a vid on the least used support sidearm

Especially awesome if you get a friend to put down the mines. No team damage means you don't even die when you kill the tank! 😁

Considering the gadgets as anti-vehicle, mines are definately the best since you can blow it up at once (tanks cannot retreat and repair). I use them at spawn locations of tanks, or actively by throwing smoke, closing the distance fast and react as well as I can on where the tank is going. This requires some experience with the smokes though, since it's extremely important that these are thrown in the right place (they need to block the vision of the tank, which is probably going to drive backwards).

AT Mines are really useful. If you know there are gonna be fatty enemies coming in, like in Argonne forest at point B. Place an at the door and lay down with gun aiming at it. The mine does BuKu dmg and I've gotten doubles with it before. This method is alot easier to get ur 25 kills than the regular means
I use mines and dynamite together. You have a much larger area of effect if you place one at mine and onetime dynamite near each other or you can make an explosion chain with dynamite and at interlocking, good for anti infantry or vehicles.
I like to use the AT mine to take care of careless tankers, as you can deploy them around the tank and will in a few seconds or using another explosive take out the tank.
Your vids and voice are really awsome
fair play sir I like it! me AT and anti tank grenades ftw. mine are good if you spawn on a plane jump out on spawn place and retreat.
On very contested area you can find dozens on craters, like on the road of Monte-Grappa. Vehicles will strugle going off-road because it's steep, so they stay on. If 2 or 3 teammates set some mines, the enemy vehicle will eather blow up, or ride slowly, cautiously and waste its shells firing into craters to blow mines, making it an easier target for bombers, other vehicles or infantry. But keep in mind that if the enemy spots your mine, it can use them against you by shooting at them when youre close. I'm a bit ashamed of it, but I also like to infiltrate near the enemy vehicle spawn, set some mines and watch a brand new enemy vehicle blowing up before even seeing action.
To help teammates unlocking the mosin nagant marksman, you can also set dynamite or AT mine near their tripwire bombs.
I always run AT Grenades and AT Mines on my Assault kit. It's pretty similar to my SMAW M15 loadout on my Battlefield 4 Engineer kit. Mines are just a great deterrent in general for me. As with many things, experience is what makes these effective. By playing enough matches, you can find out what walls or buildings tanks usually drive through in an attempt to eliminate hiding spots. One such example is the wall on Ballroom Blitz that separates D & E from each other. Putting mines on the friendly side of the wall can leave a nasty surprise for anyone trying to break through. Also, knowing the spawn vehicle routes or even where vehicles spawn on certain objectives can lead to what I would image are infuriating deaths for the enemy.
+D00DLEMAN149 when I was recording footage for the episode, I was planning on getting some of the Ballroom Blitz wall that you mentioned to use at the point where I was talking about hiding spots. The previous clip ran over, so I didn't include it in the end but it's a great place for sure!
I thought it was really funny when I was watching and when you started on hiding spots you mentioned just about everywhere I put mine (no pun intended). Now everyone will know lol
I mostly always put 3 dynamite on my nest of land mines it works pretty great as an on demand nuke for basically anything on the other team that gets too close
I pretty much always use AT Rocket Guns, super fun.
P.S.D.P.P lol, got it love the video on a notger note is there anyway you can maybe make a video on effective mine traps?
The best way to use AT Mines in my opinion is to attach them to a motorcycle. It's really easy to attach the mines once you've practiced a bit and it means you don't have to wait for a tank or bait it in you just drive the mines into it.
Note to DICE: please increase the blast radius of the AT mines to 4 meters (maybe even more). That way, you can turn them into supportive boobytraps by placing them in LOS for a friendly sniper or yourself, and if a bunch of enemies run by and you're a somewhat good shot - BOOM!
Early mine kills alerting the enemy team to the usage of mines will slow them down for the rest of the match as they will have to scan the ground for these or suffer.
700+ mine kills, this by only running Assault the first life out of the gate, placing mines and then only again if the mines are destoyed or I kill something.
psdpp is life
don't forget the light antitank grenade combo!
My experience with using the mines is that it is best to go around the combat hotspots and place them on the most traveled route from their base to the current contested objective. Since the fight is so far away from them most drivers think the road to said objective is safe and thus just drive straight into their immediate demise
something that some people don't know about AT mines no matter how many times you get resupplied or spawn in you can only have a maximum of 3 mines deployed at any one time placing a fourth mine removes the first (the same thing happens with trip mines)
reminds me of the BFFs episode where n00b thinks he's put claymores over the entire map 😂
I found the use of dynamite during domination to be extremely useful period if placed on capture points
After the hellrigel defensive quest i started using AT mines moar i put them in shadows and foxholes on chokes like C flag on empires edgy tanks always try to drive to d from that point use terrain deformation to ur advantage :P
My strategy is going to be to place 2 mines like in the video, but place the third in a separate location next to some dynamite so when it goes off it will also detonate the dynamite, destroying the vehicle and giving my credit for the at mine kill
Great tactic!
Love using dynamite by sneaking up behind snipers and blowing them up also by using them to level buildings with a lot of enemy's present.
I actually know some people who use the mines against infantry. They mostly placce them in hallways or in front of doors luring infantry towards them.
mines are a smooth stone that you find in the river that you have a strange sentimental value for.
Sometimes i use dynamite and mines and then i put up two of my mines and then the other one with the Dynamite. If the Mine explodes the Dynamite will go off too and destroy heavy vehicles. This way i can have 2 traps at the same time.
I normally run with AT launcher and dynämite because they are good for taking out buildings
just had an idea, you could maybe combine explosions from dynamite and tank mines so that you can kill 2 tanks instantly instead of one. placing mines and dynamite together with combined power maybe could net 2 vehicles, further testing required
Should work, two sticks of dynamite on one mine should do the trick and then you have two mines left for somewhere else!
Do one about the elite classes! I know that'd be tough to film but I'd be interested in seeing which elite class I shouldn't pick up. 😏
TheRyanAkers2 devil's anvil operations for the attacking side get 4 respawning elite classes to help on attack if they loose a push
Yep, it's on my to-do list. I'll get around to it someday :-)
The only one that sometimes isn't worth picking up is the LMG Sentry, and that's if you anticipate a lot of short-range combat or that you'll be unable to reach medium range combat from long.
TheRyanAkers2 Ugliest elite class is the sentry with the villar perosa
TheRyanAkers2 Best elite classes are Tank Hunter and Trench Raider
The mines get more kills because with the other weapons most people in the tank bail out beside 1 but usually 3 or so people are in vehicle when the mines get them cause they don't have low HP so they don't think they are going to die.
Best thing to do When your trying to get AA mine Kills is the map you mentioned AND in operations: Beyond The Marne, and simply play as a german cause the French team is gonna have like what 6-7 Tanks, and placing mines all over the damn place your gonna be thrilled so hard. Oh and placing Mines BELOW or BEHIND the enemy Camping vechicles, when you do that just go in front of there view and hiliariously they'll always drive backwards. Hope this helps for alot of people trying to get the 2nd tier hellriegel
Shaming camping vehicles with them is the best! 😀 czcams.com/video/S1ROyypI3yI/video.html
Hah Cheers For sharing this and that, some players just get dumber and dummer everyday
I have a major issue with the at mines. Some maps where the enemy can get close to your line they will place them right on top of the vehicle spawn point. You instantly blow up upon spawning in and it's super fucking annoying. If it's not instant you move an inch forward or back and still get blown up. It really makes a one sided difference when you have two teams battling with armor and I think EA should fix the spawns to where the enemy can't place a mine on the tank spawns
I run AT mines to quickly throw, then a light AT mine directly after then hit 'me with the rocket gun. Great burst damage
AfloatHickory light AT mine?
AfloatHickory AT Nades or AT mines?
Nades, all nades lol. Chuck 2 AT nades, chuck the light AT nade, then hit it with the rocket gun.
just plant 2 mines really quick that's really it. soon as it moves its done. but to make sure you get the kill shoot or throw grenade. it seems too long to plant a mine switch gadgets and throw dynamite.
It took me awhile to get the hellriegel defensive. I charged tanks and went around them hoping they would either back up or run over it. Look for tanks camping on hills getting kills with their cannons, and definitely place mines outside the main road out of the hostile spawn. Stay patient. If you are terrible like I am with mines, your going to lose your will to live and a few decimals off your KD. I did finish it though. It wasn't super hard but it was a steep learning curve and mediocre level grind.
Do more of these
You got me to google those different grapes. Who knew there were different types of em
😅 See, you don't just learn about games from me! Fruit, animals, here you get it all!
On what kind of beast are you playing on. Im asking this because you play with the most amazing graphics XD
The 25 mine kills for the hellriegel were so painful to get, I actually felt bad for using them
What about mines : i usually pick smoke grenades, throw them near enemy tank than i put the mines down in front or behind that tank, if he will not blow himself up, i throw AT grenade, it works incredibly well especially when enemy team is not protecting that tank at all. - it is some kind of active usage of mines in bf1 to me.
The only reason why I frequently use AT mines is because it's much more satisfying getting a kill with them and no one expects it
There is always the console method of at mines where tank guns can't move as fast so the assault player can just rush the tank and place the mines down without the tank knowing even though they are being shot because there is no animation for the mines
great thanks
I have over 250 kills with the AT rocket gun, excellent gadget for this class
if you were running mines and dynamite, would it be possible to make two traps? have two mines in one location and have one + 3 dynamite in another spot.
great vid) useful information) sub.
Will you update it when all the dlcs come out?
Did you all know if you want to get minimum damage from grenade just go prone
Trust me.....ive tried it
@Rogue-9 One fact you forgot to mention, after you placed 3 mines and it did not detonated yet, placing new mines with somehow overwrite the mines you put earlier by order you put them. Let say you put mines in sequence from left to right, the next batch of mines you placed will remove the left mine you put earlier 1st, then the middle mine, then lastly the right mine.
Very good point! The same goes for any other gadget as well (dynamite, healthpack, ammo, tripwires etc.); once you use your full loadout and place more, they start disappearing
I love using dynamite in domination and putting it in the spots where people stand in the objective. Even when I'm capturing an objective across the map BOOM unsuspecting noobs just got trolled
what I found useful is
1:disable tracks
2:place mine
3: detonate
4:get the quad feed
I think the AT mines deserve to be the most underused explosive for the assault since you can no longer place AT mines toguether to each other which makes them something to just spam around the battlefield since their small blast radiud makes them impossible to detonate each other
that use of photoshop for the watermelon, A +
Place at mines on scouts tripwire bombs :D and vise versa killed an armoured car with a tripwirebomb thatway
Dynamite is kinda situational but i dont think that its overrated. On ps4 for example i have sometimes gotten more kills with dynamite than my primary weapon. And on pc it can be usefull too for throwing over a wall that the enemy is hiding behind in a gunfight.
you should really consider a career audiobooks or something. youre voice is so....soothing...no homo lol...
oh and btw your stats must be wrong. the amount of times i get killed by noskill splash dmg rifle at rocket gunners is unreal....(as infantry)
Hehe, thanks! And re the dmg stats, I looked it up in the code and tested it twice by shooting 10cm beside a full health soldier. Im pretty sure it's 64-65... maybe they get you with debris or something?
interesting. i just realized alot of ppl complaining about the at-gunners and it felt like i got killed by them alot. i guess i was just unlucky for a few rounds ;)
This gives me an idea, why not place mines in buildings to wreck them? I do this all the time with the dynamite, but maybe AT mines are actually better at this?
Works for sure, just a little hard to trigger. I guess place them on the floor below the enemies, then run out and either shoot them or throw in a grenade
I've found that the best way is to drop an AT mine and then drop dynamite to set it off, this gives you 3 uses before reloading and allows you to wreck buildings far better I'd say.
Oh god, that music when you put the stats on the screen gave me flashbacks to another CZcamsr!
Do you happen to know the channle Bad writing Advice?
+PrimordialNightmare nope, never come across it but if it's bad enough to give you flashbacks I'm not sure I want to! 😆
I always run mines.
Two right on top of rach other, but never centered in the path. Rather, place them hard right or left so they look like environment, but juuuuuust catch the edge of the vehicle.
Paaaaaaaaaaid
How to use mines? On the one night map (not neville). They're literally invisible and the tanks can only go down the cramped roads. Too many times teammates run past em and im coming down with a FT-17 supporting them and I blow up randomly
One odd thing about AT mines is they stay out even if you change classes. I was surprised to get an AT mine kill as a medic.
1 AT Mine plus 2 dynamite is also guaranteed to destroy any tank. Lets you set 2 spots at once of guaranteed tank kills. Also I've found myself able to more reliably kill tanks with AT mines than with other gadgets when soloing.
Easiest solo is throw your 3 dynamite then ur at grenades to detonatr the dynamite and then finish the tank of with your last at u can do this easily just have to be sneaky
just plant 2 mines really quick that's really it. soon as it moves its done. but to make sure you get the kill shoot or throw grenade. it seems too long to plant a mine switch gadgets and throw dynamite. do you have to set off the dynamite or will the mine detonate it?
DeathGrinder B if the mines explode cuz of somethingelse it doesnt count as mine kill
I didn't read all the replies but perhaps instead of PSDPP(?), you could lay one mine with two packs of dynamite? Then two mines together? In the first deployment, wouldn't the mine going off set off the dynamite too, killing the tank?
Rogue-9 u can plave up to six mines at once
I still think you should do a related series called "what's the point?" where you examine weapons that are statistically similar to determine if one of them is essentially useless.
Conundrum I think such a series would have been great for BF4 (with so many similar weapons), but BF1 has fewer weapons which are more diverse, so idk how long such a series would last with only a few weapons.
Could definitely work well for pistols. There are quite a few pistols that have the exact same damage and drop off pattern and it could be cool to see what makes them different and which one is better
I think there's a real question also about whether or not the 12ga Auto still fills a role in light of the existence of the Inertial, as well as whether or not it's worth using the MP18 (which seems like there's little point in using it instead of either the Automatico for hipfiring or the Hellriegel for aimed firing), the Lewis Gun versus the superior damage LMGs, the Autoloading 8 (5 round) versus the Selbstlader 1906, and possibly a few other seriously overshadowed guns I can think of.
if you go that way, it could make sense. However they're not really statistically similar, are they? I can't say anything about the 12G vs Inertial (don't own the DLC), but there are definitely some arguments for using the MP 18, Lewis gun, etc.
MP 18 has superior hipfire and controllability. You can comfortably hipfire the MP 18 all the way to 50m and beyond, and its DPS isn't terrible. Also has some pretty easy recoil. (I do think SMG balance needs some tweaks, but the MP 18 isn't useless in the least).
Lewis Gun has both controllability and high capacity on its side, especially with the Suppressive variant. Its hipfire is also surprisingly good. It's a longer range LMG, but it has capacity advantages over both the M1909 and Huot, and is reasonably controllable as said before. (an interesting comparison would be the Huot and M1909 though)
Auto 8 has very quick TTK on its side (making it good at close/medium range), while the 1906 has low recoil and high accuracy on its side, for long range.
MP18 has superior hipfire to the Hellriegel, but the same hipfire as the other SMGs and a lower rate of fire than the Automatico. Basically, if you're gonna hipfire, go with the Automatico. If you're not, go with any other SMG.
Is the Auto 8's potential ROF significantly higher than the 1906?
*Goes back to RO2 where the Anti Tank role is actually fun*
Here a mine srat worth trying, if you succeed: find a tree next to road where vehicles usually pass by, then place your mines on road, use some other gadget to detonate and make tree fall over your mines to hide them. Never tried it myself, only died to that.
Could work for a short while but I think fallen trees and other debris disappears after a short time
Sometimes I place mines or dynamite near random friendly trip mines
I usually deal 20 or 22 damage when I use a rocket gun against an A7V heavy tank, did they change this is an update?
I use mines and dynamite. 2 mines in one spot and 1 mine with all 3 dynamite sticks. that gives you 2 spots that will destroy vehicles.
AT mines are the best, i place them on a corners all the time, just wait for enemies to rush and then shoot the mines for easy kills ;)
Can you do a Vehicle usage video at some point? That could be very interesting.
I've tried to get that info... Battlefieldtracker don't show a breakdown by vehicle variant (only type) and they're not responding to my questions. Reached out to EA/Dice and even though they responded, they don't publish info like that... not looking good at the moment :-/
Rogue-9 What if you ran a poll on twitter or something? That would at least allow for a sample of the Battlefield population.
Money on most used's being the defaults for most, because some players are too dumb to know there's anything else. Money on least used being:
Support Landship, Flamethrower Tank (might change soon with its buff), Close Support LT (also might change soon), AA Truck (this one's obvious as it's useless in multiple game modes), Gas Tank.
Conundrum I think the least used Artillery Truck would probably be the morter one. I find people all the time who the default and AA, but almost never the morter one
are you kidding the flame thrower tank is the most used heavy tank from what I've seen
I get beside camping to tanks, place two mines, and throw an anti tank grenade to ensure death
