Press t? wut? I don't have any key bound to that. I can't remember the control that was assigned to t by default. I think it might have been 'squad' commo rose but not sure.

So basically, kinda try to request a kit from the mine to place the map designated marker? I've seen them knocking about on the map but have rarely placed mines myself since insurgency back in .6

Really? using the 'team' commo rose? conflicting responses here, I'm off to see for myself...

It's on Q smeg, T brings up the Kit Request as always. Can PR do the FH2 thing where mines are half burried and include little mine flags?

But it's also a good thing if the guy is doing it on purpose, so you can punish.

Problem is, if you don't do it on purpose, and still get punished.

I've got alot of respect for people that go engineer in infantry squads, I don't think they need any credit taking away from them.

let me rephrase, sorry i wasnt clear. i meant it should not count directly as a kill score, they should get score for the kills but it should not count in your kill counter.

anyways yes regular points should of course be rewarded. just no kill count for it

Guys, before you quote something please check the date.

What I see here is a terrible grave digging

Is it possible not to punish the engineer who placed the mine of the mine markers are there? So, markers = punish the driver, no markers = punish the engineer.

[The Crimson Major]

honestly, I wish there was a way to make mines team sensitive, but that simply isn't realistic. Whether it's engineers not marking their mines or drivers just being stupid, trucks full of good squad mates are being fragged by friendlies every day, every round. I say, don't punish anyone, cause you just never can be sure who to blame. Besides, death and a long respawn time is more than enough for the stupid driver who ran directly into the red "death" sign on the minimap, if thats the case...

I think the DEVs taking punishment away from either party is the best solution. They can squabble about it afterward, anyone who feels someone needs punishing for something unintentional/down right stupid is a very petty individual. If it's a continual problem with intentional TKs then that can be resolved as usual.

I don't know what to think about this poll, mine kills are such a mixed bunch with some being such complete stupidity by the engineer but at other times its the driver who ignores both the markers and text warnings....

I don't think anyone should be punished really because alot of the time it is just a mistake and people by and large say sorry for there actions when mine tks occur (at least the ones I’ve seen).

if its a marked mine in the map the driver should be punished, other day in TCombat my clanmate put a mine and marked in the map, the lazy driver dont saw (or saw and dont care) and boom, 3tks and the 3 idiots in the car punished my friend... its not his fault, there is two entrances in this flag, one of them is marked as mined and the driver choose the marked entrace to enter... so if its marked the driver must be punished.
