I distinctly remember being able to dig up enemy grenade traps with my shovel as infantry. Now, no matter how hard I try, I'm not able to. Did you guys remove the ability or what?

My honest reaction

Was that enemy or friendly claymore?

You can see the soldier has US uniform and the mine is russian mon50.

I did this with a mine a few months back, but the animation was broken, wish I saved the footage we were all surprised about it.

My autism does not extend to visuals only sound cues.

I tried to dig up an enemy grenade on basrah it did not work. It seems that no matter how hard I tried to reposition myself it wouldn't let me start digging.

Never seen anything regarding shovels being able to remove that.
You can blow it up with C4 (not sure about tnt and the varius IEDs).

The repairtool from the combat engie also works, however there is no animation and you get no feedback until after 20s of holding LMB the mine vanishes.

I assume and hope its working when I see nothing. Then poof its gone. Be imaginative.

Also good to always add to my post to reinforce and strengthen the spirit of the games play style in the minds of whoever reads this.

"1 man per piece of cover, move cover to cover, in view of each other to save each other, 1 man hit per tank or artillery shell formation. Be bait for each other and use each other as bait, be too many to kill as infantry and vehicles. Divide the enemy fire and attention.

Scan aggressively with eyes, ears and probing projectiles into uncleared areas of cover and concealment for anything suspect peeking or hidden. Sweep and double sweep aimed height of a man, probing recon by fire to make enemy think they are spotted.

Dominate through firepower scanning. One big booby trap as a brigade that protects each other. TANK + APC + IFV + Anti-air vehicles/infantry + tripod ATGM + JEEPS + Trucks + low altitude choppers + CAS =Invincibility"

Grenade traps used to be able to be removed with a shovel, its sometimes tricky to hit the right spot. Afaik nothing changed but it might be broken/have been removed.

It's still there but sometimes glitchy. You don't always get any feedback you are removing the grenade trap so you just need to lay there, have faith, and keep shoveling and it will disappear if you were lined up on it correctly.

I've only done it on grenade traps since claymores are much rarer and are command detonated anyway. AFAIK, AT mines, water container IEDs cannot be shoveled and need a combat engineer to defuse or C4/mortars/area attack.

Ah plz you gotta put that functionality back in. I cant seem to get a right angle on anything no more. If not then can you atleast let grenade traps and ap mines be blown up by grenade and c4?
