Or avoid BS like that entirely. I have 2 ATGs, maybe 3; spam just promotes sloppy play and poor ATG micro. 2 = i micro them well or lose. I <3 shermans, medium tanks are the shit vs. anything other than pantherspam. SE...yeah, on Allied Attack thats gonna be BS. Spartan had 4-6 muni HTs with the concentration mine upgrade. That was shite powerful since they slow tanks, inf, are incindiary, do more damage on explosion then regular mines anyways etc...phew, just a really good ability. Add defensive coys in and yeah, allies are Fked. Oh well, so goes the 'fun' of CoH xD allies will find some ghey way to beat that defense. Callyspam or something.

Saturation minefield doesn't really do any damage to tanks now that as far as I can tell they no longer put butterfly mines in the mix, it's just firecracker and vehicle slow mines now, just as a fyi.  The fire damage on can sometimes engine dmg weakened light vehicles and tank destroyers but it will do pretty much nothing to heavier tanks.

I use mainly shermans and m10s, and as an infantry commander at heart, I rarely if ever have a heavy tank.

If not, then I wipe, then someone gets something they shouldn't, then it gets abused, then the shit hits the fan and then I ban shab.

I meant to say heavier tanks than light vehicles and tank destroyers.  Another side effect of the lack of butterflies is that tanks can often roll through the minefield slowly setting off all the firecracker mines and act as a poor man's mine flail with little or no consequence.

depends, one minesweeper and a mortar counter them pretty good
and unfortunately they do friendly fire quite often when its placed in a closely contested area and got hit by tank/mortar shell
