Is it possible to lay anti-tank mines in a way that can’t be seen by enethe tank drivers

battlefield-3

I know that anti-tank mines are observable by drivers with thermal optics, and you can even "spot" them. Sometimes I just happen to see mines myself, so, is it possible to lay mines in such a way, that the driver will not see them, but run over them ? Can the terrain be used effectively to do this ?

At first I would say that it depends on the driver and if he has a good gunner or some people running next to him. Besides that there are some several points you can keep in mind when placing your mines:

  • place the mines on dark coloured underground, so that is harder to see them
  • don't place them directly on the road or on the typical driveways
  • place them close to the end of an uphill road, so that the tank/car will still be in an upwards-angle so that the driver can't look down to the road
  • use the map to hide the mines: place them near "decoration", in higher grass, in water to hide the mines or in the craters created by explosions, so they are hidden from sight
  • put them on spots where people normally drive fast to breach through, so there is no time to react or evade the mines

All this won't guarantee any minekill, but increase the chance of some kills. I hope it helps!
