Hard to find the landmine sign in dynamic campaign

[bombs]

When attacking, the enemy sometimes has landmines placed in front of the point and you get a hint saying something like "Careful, there are mines nearby". Can we get a mark on where that landmine sign is? It's really hard to spot considering its size, especially in a forest.

There's a very large discussion on the official Discord about this very issue.

Probably be worth your time to go and provide your feedback there.

PS: The name of the soldier who can see the sign is displayed on that text message.

You can access the previous messages in game but I forget the key to do this - maybe m for messages?

Upon getting the message I pause the game and spend the next 30 minutes trying to find Max Krieg so I can work out where the minefield he can see actually is.

The white sign is particularly hard to see on a snowy map.

It would be far better to have ''[insert unit type] has encountered minefield'' and a map marker with Max Krieg's little picture pop up on the screen.

Because overall it's a freaking nightmare at the best of times, which kind of enforces the hazard that is a minefield, but also makes it even more boorish to deal with because instead of prepping to breach or avoid the minefield, we're now looking for das kleine krocodile Max and then trying to find the minefield that he hasn't bothered to provide any direction or bearing for us to orientate on.

I like how the minefields are hidden so to speak, with the enemy minefield signs facing the enemy and not me, because why mark your own minefield for your foe(s)? But yeah, throw us a bone developer.

When I hear this message, I say to myself "well too bad, there are always deaths in war" and natural selection does the rest

No it would be better if I won the lottery. Probably about as much chance as that happening so I'd better go put my numbers in.
