Why were they made undetectable by normal units? now with the wonderful change you can't superzoom into a house unless you have a minesweeper close and quite nicely you can't sweep demos out of houses, you could fire at them but that will destroy the house and in most cases not kill the demo but instead destroying the house but leaving the demo in a pile of rubble being a danger to any unit that moves close the them.
they at least required some strat when Royal was using them in masses where he actually had to hide them on the battlefield instead of just placing them anywhere and any unit can see and destroy them so you actually had to think, now you can place them in the middle of a road or a field of nothing and then when a single unit walks over it it is dead for you had no idea it was there unless you had a Minesweeper close.

Guess what happens when you run into a mine?

Unless you have a minesweeper nearby, your unit just got wtf-slapped. Think of demo's as much bigger, nastier mines. Consider bringing a minesweeper or two along with you whenever you face Commandos if they pose such a big problem - But I'd recommend keeping minesweepers on hand anyhow as it's pretty sensible, just like keeping a Jeep/Bike or two around.

Well the diffrence between mines and demos mines dont kill full health squads in 1 hit and they cant pick their targets and the AOE with the bottom t2 is quite bullshit.

[Hicks58]

They happen to cost nearly double the cost of your average mine, and still get countered by the simple 10 munitions minesweeper.

Honestly, I'm of the opinion that if you go up against Commandos, Scorched Earth or Tank Hunters (Teller mines) then you should be packing some minesweepers. If you don't, then you really do have it coming tbh.

AOE with the bottom T2 could use looking at though tbh... It can get ever so slightly ridiculous in the right situation.

I fire at them close range with my storms, I only loose 3 storms in the process. EPic win.

Demos also have to be watched by a player and triggered with timing.

what are you talking about?

[TheIcelandicManiac]

normal units(atleast PE ones) cant detect them.

[LeoPhone]

u sure?

[TheIcelandicManiac]

Well i saw a commando player place a demo down and when i moved close to it i could not see it, i tought it was placed a little farther away so i ran a group of units past it and it blew up the whole time i could not see it at all , i can´t see them in houses either making super zoom down at them use less to spot demos by.

[LeoPhone]

panzer grens detect demos.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

well i just went trough the replay but now i see that i only spot them when i am in their det ratius, sorry for the misunderstanding but it still is quite bullshit.

the reason i tough otherwise was that i did not notice it for 1 sec untill it blew in my units face.
