Where should i focus planting mines? Retreat paths are obvious, but i want someone to give me some more examples. Of course i am talking about anti-tank mines, i don't use anti-personnel mines at all.

uhat faction are you asking for? If you're playing Soviets, you only have anti-personnel and general purpose mines. As a side note, I'd recommend putting down the trip wire flares. It's a good way to use your munitions because, as Soviets, you don't tend to get weapon upgrades like the Germans. The potential ubiquity of the flare mines means that, even if the majority are swept, the others will get triggered because your opponent can only have so many minesweeper squads.

There are a few different theories for where you should place mines. If you place them very far forward your opponent will get sweepers and easily spot them. On the other hand, you can plant one or two quite far forward early game and have them detonate and cause mp bleed.

There are certain benefits to placing mines on your periphery. Sweeper squads may be less likely to go on the far sides until the mid or late game as your opponent may want to keep their single sweepers quad with the main body of their forces to win engagements. Additionally, unswept periphery mines have benefits in the late game, too, when micro quality tends to decrease as there are more units on the field.

On the other hand, if your opponent sends a sweeper squad to cap the periphery, your periphery mines can be swept up and you may not even be aware.

If I'm very far ahead in munitions I sometimes plant mines outside my base, especially if I perceive my opponent as quite aggressive. A well placed AT mine outside the base can save squads, damaged vehicles, etc.

You've missed OST vs OST, OKW vs OKW, USF vs USF, UKF vs UKF and SOV vs SOV.

Ah, the true mirror match. That would certainly be a shit show and quite a blow to immersion.

It's possible in customs, but if they implemented it in Automatch they'd be balancing fifteen matchups instead of six.

Fifteen? I'm doing the math but I don't think it's that many (in 1v1s)
1) Ost vs OKW
2) Ost vs USF
3) Ost vs UKF
4) Ost vs SOV
5) OKW vs USF
6) OKW vs UKF
7) OKW vs SOV
8) USF vs UKF
9) USF vs SOV
10) UKF vs SOV

I'd recommend uploading a replay and asking for a replay review! there are plenty of people here who are willing to give advice

Uh. You get higher damage and a quicker setup time.

MG42 does more damage

I'm sorry I suck.

But also lmao I'd assume a .50 cal round has more damage than whatever the MG42 used (the same standard rifle round as the 98k?). But, again, this is a game so you never know how things actually work without looking at the stats.
