finding mines

[sooshon]

I guess it would be a nice feature if when a merc noticed a mine he decided to, you know stop sprinting right over it a second after?

You know they actually do that, you just gotta have a merc that knows explosive and use him to detect and defuse ? Its not like every merc in the world knows how to handle mines

Barry detected a mine then a second later walked over it and exploded
You did actually read what I was saying right? I am questioning the fact that even right after detecting a mine they decide to walk right over it anyway
If memory serves me right, in JA2 mercs were smart enough to avoid moving over an area where they detected a mine (it was marked in interface with a blue flag and they would walk around it)

Thing is a good "DEbomb" specialist should have at least 2 stats high - Wisdom to spot mines and explosives to disarm. A stat combo, I do not have on one person though. From other hand I got several ppl with high wisdom, but they step on mines as successfully as the rest of the group.

Yes, this is how it worked in JA2. Which makes sense. You mark it or else you may forget where it exactly was. Plus you definitely are not just going to forget a moment later and walk over the area where you just saw a mine.

So just admit it, you didnt notice the mine was there and didnt notice he told you he found a mine and then you clicked to move him straight over it, he has stoped at every mine he found in my game, only way i manage to step on one if is im not paying attention and i click again.

since there is no realtime pause feature, therefore no auto-pause when a new threat/enemy/mine is detected... and since it can be detected right in front of you.. the only answer is to put your merc in prone, babysit every step, and wait 5 minutes for them to crawl somewhere so you dont detonate one by moving too fast.

mines in JA3 dont hurt nealry as badly as JA2.

Hm, if memory serves me right, late Brigade E5 already had minesweeper on a stick.
