Topic: Land mines

Dunno if this has been brought up before but land mines, once placed, stick out like a sore thumb and are so easy to spot its laughable. Any chance in future patches they could be a little more transparent?

Re: Land mines

Antipersonell mines currently have such a high TK rate that making them less visible is out of the question (yes, I dare say that with a very high degree of certainty even though I'm not a dev). 7 out of 10 times I lay an AP mine it kills one or more teammates. Those things are deadly. There's also the fact that antitank mines are used far more often, and as such, I think people assume mines they see are antitank, for then to step on them. Just a theory.

Is it possible to have them appear on the minimap of friendly forces? I think that could reduce the TK rate significantly. That, and calling out a warning when you're laying them and telling people not to step on them, of course.

Oh, and if anyone wondered:
Antitank mines are crescent-shaped. They are carried by the HWS class.
Antipesonell mines are triangular, with flashing lights, and can stick to building walls. They are carried by the Support class.
