    Corpsegrinder and I tried to ninja the be cv on alpine rush; we place down 16 mines at his back armor and shot a mortar at him but it didn't work. I've attempted to do 8 mines before on the same map with similar results; the be com in this case also did not have defusal. Is this a map bug, or was this purposely implemented?

    I'm pretty sure he was just lying to you.

    So in 3 different occasions, the be coms all had defusal?
    I don't think so...

    Maybe they didn't want to get 8 mined.

    Did they blow up, but not kill him? Or did they just not blow up?

    If its the first, its possible not to kill a CV with 16 mines if they are stacked on top (or closely together) of one another. I think its something like mines on top of each other do 50% less damage.

    No the mines didn't blow. Our team pulled off a 16-mine ninja, but the mines didn't detonate when the commander was mortared. The ninjas were then killed off and our team got butt-raped. Mass rage ensued.

    Yea the mines didn't blow. :/
    Tbh I think it's just that area of the map. Cause I've done 2 16 mines in other locations on that map.
    The be com was at the starting location btw.

    There's nothing a mapper can do intentionally or unintentionally that would affect the way mines interact with the CV on a normal map (unless it's a novelty map where the CV is unreachable or an infantry restrict is in place). Just another silly gander pointing a finger at a map. Most often, when fail ninjas fail, it's because they're fail ninjas - hence the name.

    In Empires, there is a critical thinking group that meets on Tuesdays & Thursdays... I don't believe we charge a fee for membership... ;)

    I went to the critical thinking group and concluded that since the cv was on a surface sloping down, 1 mortar wouldn't rock the cv enough to trigger the mines.
    Next time I'll bring sticky stuns/ squad arty.

    lol I just spotted this thread at random just now, next time if you have an issue with a custom map bring it up in the maps thread. Only chance even brought this thread to my attention, which would have been an issue if there actually was an issue.

    if you put mines directly under it, no matter if its empty or not, the force from even shooting it with a pistol will detonate them all.

    Sometimes 16 mines aren't placed correctly or something so it doesn't work
