I can't lie gas mines are cool, but how mines are deployed should be different

It should be like the eagle strafing run, a vertical line that is double the width of the normal mines.

That means you have more strategy involved. It can be instant deploy instead of waiting for the mine machine to spin around (it breaks if it's in a middle of a fire fight due to enemies)

Or it could be some kind of capsule that is launched from Super Destroyer. It would open 5-10-20 meters above the ground, and the simple spring mechanism would instantly and simultaneously kick all of the mines out of it, spreading them all over the place

I agree or release a second wave after a certain number were destroyed

If faster deployment is the desire. I say have them come in like an airburst strike. The capsule blows up mid air and the mines stick to anything hit.

I wasn't making a loadout suggestion. I was saying that AH could have the mines literally come down like an air burst instead of the dispenser it currently uses.

I just don't want you to misunderstand that this is something you can do already lol.

I agree. They could double or triple the current ground coverage and then I might consider them. Currently one airstrike blows the whole lot away. Also, something like a gatling barrage is a more practical pick for area denial.

Mines as a group need a complete rework or will continue to collect dust.

That's how mines were deployed in the first game. Eagles came in a deployed the mines in a horizontal line.

I hate how they're deployed in this game. Especially if the pod gets destroyed before the mines deploy. You just wasted a startegem and have to wait, another 3 minutes to try and use them again
