  • Can we get a small mine buff

Mines cost money and they're not particularly useful at all. I always wanted to play a minelayer but two problems have always plagued me;

1. Mines don't do anything unless your team begins losing and is getting pushed back as their range makes them extremely ineffective
2. Mines are often shot at by teammates for no good reason.

I would like to see the following change to mines;
-Mines will now have a marker that marks the team who fired it
-Mines will not detonate if friendly ships hit them
-Mines will STILL do damage if they are hit by the enemy and the friendly ship is in mine proximity

I think that when a 'premium' item is overshadowed by 'free' items (Normal torps on a kita vs mines on a kita) then something is extremely wrong.

I don't care about HA where intense teamplay is involved and people are much more informed, I would like to see mines be useful in GB as well.

Right now in this game for GBs

Mines are simply an ASW weapon. Just like HHs are.

Mines are also able to be dropped by scouts near enemy BBs

You have to pay money for them and then teammates just shoot at them

This is not funny at all

We don't give a crap if you have 1,000,000 mines from events,
the fact is that they are premium items that you pay for (if you didn't get any from events)
that just get gunned down by . . . YOUR OWN TEAM!!!

Fara dropped the maximum mines from 1 CV and they raped BBs after they hit only 2 or 3 of them.


They do like 2 times sub torp damage. They are fine if not already overpowered.

So then scouts become glorified bombers

That is not the purpose of mines. If I try playing a minelayer I usually end up getting more team damage than enemy damage
