BF2S Forums Why can't we destroy claymores with grenades?

In all honesty claymores are to be used as a defensive weapon, left hidden and out of sight.  Some maps don't offer that luxary like the top of a ladder.   Here is an idea:
Even in 3rd person view while climbing that ladder that can't fully see the top of roofs. Some of you must learn to adjust and reposition those claymores where they can't see them in 3rd person view 3 to 4 steps from the top of the ladder.  It's simple...move the claymore further back, making them climb the ladder to see, then BOMB, head shot by the claymore.

Remove claymores from the sniper kit and instead give them binoculars.

Thats why you have a SCOPED SNIPER RIFLE.

If a sniper lays one down and realizes that its in plain light, he should be able to remove it so he can still lay down his two mines.

Agree with you completely. What kind of a retarded sniper you have to be to be able to put a clay down, but now disarm it? lol.

I voted yes because even when you kill the sniper who laid them, they still stick around for a while. Claymores are being used as traps around flags and such, when they are meant to be used for defensive measures ie. laying one infront of a ladder that you used.

I think Claymores should destroy Grenades...

who actually believe its a valid tactic to leave claymores in clear sight anyway?

I wouldnt mind it if mines could be destroyed by nades again... placing the in a high traffic area, waiting for people to gather, then throwing a nade into it used to own.

i think they should be destructable, and each sniper should get 500

but support should be able to get rid of them by throwing an ammo pack at them.

it who'd be reasonably

Yeah, definitely. I think AT mines should take a couple hits though. Also similar to the guy above, tank shells and sraws should be able to blow assets after a bit of pounding. Is the metal made of some incredible alloy buy it's only weakness is c4? Come on.

You can kill the MEC satellite dish with the TOW on karknad after about 17-20 hits

im 100% sniper-whore and i hate the fact that all the retarded snipers get away with suicide-spamming claymores on city maps, cos they know theyre guaranteed 4 points for every time they die. let nades destroy the mines for fucks sake..

You don't need to say you're a sniper whore when you post about claymores.

We know, it's ok.

no because then what is the point of claymores

Two more snipers for destructable claymores.  I may have more than 500 clay kills, thats only about 16.5% of my sniper kills compaired to 50% with the rifle.   A well placed clay is good,  but running at the enenmy and droping them in plane sight should not work.  haveing them destructible is the best solution.  Good snipers do not relly on clays for there kills.

This one Time at band camp I did decimated a squad of medic trying to take the tv tower with clays, followed by granades and two knife kills.  I think I got some 8 or 9 kills under a minute.

Grenades?  You should be able to shoot a claymore to detonate it.  It would add some realism.  But if this happened, then Snipers should get more than 2 claymores...4 maybe. 

As for AT mines, I agree with someone who said they should requires more time to place, but they should be close to unseeable.

I think also that ANYONE should be able to crawl up to a claymore, or mine, with a KNIFE, and press "E" to disable it..and maybe "G" to pick it up.  But unless you are the class that carries it, you should not be able to place it.  Imagine medics going around with AT mines and claymores making themselves a little safe corner...
