Mines to explode only when driven over and disarmable


Hi all,
Saw this on reddit but no thread here about it.
I'm pretty happy about this change as I think the way AT mines can be thrown around at the moment is pretty lame. What do you guys think about it? Is this the end of the suicidal anti-sunderer engie?

edit: Higby did respond to the possibility that an engie could just explode his mines with a grenade. He also gave further details saying that any class could disarm a mine by shooting it. See the discussion here, important quotes below :

'666 Westy543' who asked:

Okay!

Drop tank mines

Throw grenade

Does add some extra work to it though, it was getting ridiculous."
Higby responded:

In this case we would be allowing the mines to be killed without detonating. Shooting them with smallarms fire would also kill them without detonation, essentially to allow anyone to disarm the mine that some butthole just kamikaze dropped on your sundy without HAVING to be an engineer, as well as making it more than just "Drop them then detonate them"
