Could it be made so you also could booby trap abandoned crew weapons?

You can, just plant a mine.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

The idea is cool, as would be being able to plant them in garrisons.

However, even if it were possible, it would probably be incredibly annoying/abusive because Booby Traps currently only deal explosive damage and no suppression. This would mean that any (wounded) squad trying to crew the weapon and losing models from the explosion would have a good chance to go down to 2-3 models a second before recrewing, which would result in the squad being dissolved into the team weapon.

If you have time to put trip wires next to an abandoned weapon you have time to steal it, which is far superior.

So shouldn't that apply to booby traps as well? And who wants a 4 man maxim?

i remember that neat little trick actually works in the original coh - at least for at guns, which would set of PE teller mines planted right below the moment they get recrewed. fireworks and flying body parts guaranteed...

Bingo. Handy little mine that I have fsr more appreciation for now that it's not on every squad.
Decrewed weapons, points, garrisons. Always nice to knock off a model.

Actually I would rather have all booby trap abilities changes to DOT Fire.

Small reference to that

at guns used to count as vehicle entities
