Status: offline 		Gary, an engineering tank was normally configured with a dozer blade and occasionally with other wierd contraptions such as portable bridges, yes they could clear mines, but not as effectively as a mine clearance unit with flails installed. HTH a little. Hell what do I know about it I wasa swabbie.:D :D :D :) :cool:

Goblin- A Goblin prefers a blade over a flail:D

They both work equally well on all three obstacle types (how a flail could remove an AT obstacle, I don't know)

The secret mine clearing vehicles are the vehicular flamethrowers - they really do the job quick! :D

Beat chains on a concrete obstacle long enough and it will go away. :D

Status: offline 		When a flail tank detects mines, shouldn't 1 mine automaticaly be cleared?
Also, I've heard that flame tanks and such are good for clearing mines. On this advice, I had two Churchil AVREs and a Crocodile flame blast the crud out of a mined hex, only to loose a Kangaroo to a surviving mine right afterwards :mad: ! How much firepower does it take?

Status: offline 		I do not know why a flam thrower would remove mines. They should only burn the stuff above ground and leave the mines alone. Shrugs must be game mechanics And the use of a flail tank to set off a mine is a hit and miss thing sometimes they miss the important one and you go boom!
