Forum:Explosives: How They can be Properly Used

I know that all of us here on the wiki use at least 1 or more explosives while playing any Battlefield game. However we probably don't even realize how effective they really are as we concentrate on other things, such as completing certain assignments, accomplishing an objective, etc. Explosives can have an excellent support role if you play Rush. We all know that MORE than one attacker/defender goes to an M-COM to arm/disarm it. What they don't realize is how close they are to each other, making a simple kill with an explosive and scoring a multikill. Mortars are excellent at bombarding at these areas as you  have the ability to "make it rain" on these objectives as attackers/defenders desperately try to arm/disarm it without dying while you are "raining" on them at a safe distance (being an in out-of-bounds area for the attackers/defenders). Another tactic, which is common, is using the C4 on vehicles. Ocassionally, you will find a tank that has a secondary gunner because the driver has a Staff Shell as his secondary weapon instead of a coxial machine gun and usually carries an AP Shell as the main weapon to fight both vehicles and infantry, making a successful sabatoge nearly impossible. But if there is no gunner and the tank does not see you, take the opporunity to blow ot up and show the driver how dumb he was not to carry a coxial machine gun. Apparently I've seen mines being used the wrong way. These mines are the M15 AT Mine and/or M2 Slam. For an odd reason, some players think that these mines will kill players (and tanks) if you run into them and therefore, place them near M-COMs in Rush. This bothers me a lot because not only do the mines do not kill other players at all, but the fact that they are not placed in obvious areas where vehicles drive across (roads, bridges, etc). AT mines have amazing damage dealt at vehicles if they are planted espically on bridges. Since most vehicles need a bridge to cross because they are not amphibious or it is just a simple shortcut, this usually leaves them immoblized and an easy target once they run into a mine.
