Hi folks, today I have a video talking about all the tips and tricks I’ve accumulated from BF3 and BF4 on how to best use mines. I go over the various types of mines, their strengths, what you’ll be facing, and the best uses for them. I even talk about countering mines in my experience as vehicle driver. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Good video, perfectly explained. I like how you covered all aspects of the mines.  
One question though- at the end you mentioned how when tanks crawl the m2s won’t explode. I play on 360 and wasn’t even aware that there was a crawl button for PC. I’m assuming that for 360 crawling in a tank just involves using the joystick very carefully?

That’d be my guess for 360… suuuuper dangerous without a specific function for it. Non-tracked vehicles on PC aren’t affected by the crawl, and they _can_ be manually crawled, but even a little too much juice in my tests, and they exploded big-time.

Great video, I really learned a lot of good tactics in it.

Also, has anyone ever told you that you sound like Vinny Caravella from Giant Bomb?

Huh, no I can’t say I’ve ever heard that comparison. 🙂
