Creation of a minesweeper turret or hull?

[Anuj10 16]

Should a turret or hull be introduced to help clear out mines or atleast reduce the damage taken from them? We've all been in battles where someone has completely mined the area, and it's very hard to go and get the flag. In maps like Lost Temple this is common. I think it would add a certain strategic value to the game.

 

Please note that if it were to be a turret, it would also function as an actual turret and not solely as a mine clearer. 

 

Obviously the removal of mines wouldn't be instantaneous, perhaps the trade off could be take it takes some time giving enemies time to kill you. Again, it wouldn't be a lot of time, but still.

Yes Mines are sure surprise.  

 

It would be nice if a Hull is created to see mines far off 

Or

give a warning sound when near mines !

 

As for remove mines and disarm it i think its developers nightmare :P

You do get a warning when someone places one.

 

But....

 

My biggest gripe with mines is that they still explode even if you don't physically touch them.

 

I also think they should be visible from a further distance.

shaft should be able to shoot mines and cause splash damage to everything around it, friend and foe.

You could win a mine protection paint in the recently finished Parkour Masters contest. A gun that ONLY removes mines is pretty much useless as mines are not common enough to constantly have the need to remove them.

I am all in favor of adding turrets/hulls that can "even out" unfair advantages in the game, like drugs and mines. Like they should add a hull that is imune to shots that have nukes, or a turret that can penetrate shields.

Well it wouldn't ONLY remove mines, it would have a use as an actual weapon. I'll update the post to clarify that.

Seems like a good idea then...

Yeah. If there's a mine field I just get Mammoth, activate Double Armour, put an Isida healer behind me and drive over the mines like they were balloons...

 

Unless it's this kind of minefield:  :wacko:

Basicly I think that it's better if there where mine-protection paint, instead of minesweep turret.

A parameter in paints for mine protection. Say, one paint gives you 10% (or 20hp) from mine explosion, another gives you 30% (or 80hp) etc.

I think this is more balanced, under control and more fun actually.

Mines are meant to be not visible and are a valuable tool in any battle.

Every measure needs a  countermeasure.
