I've only done this once, but was unable to get the right screenshot for this, but this was quite funny to watch.

As an engineer, load up your Pickup with AT Mines.  Try different spots on the pickup.  Put all 5 in the back or all 5 on the hood.  Make sure your target is lined up straight ahead of you.....usually a tank or APC.  The main street in Warlord is probably the best place to do it....but the mines are very fickle things and tend to slip off if you accelerate too fast......you don't want to do that......yet.  What you want to do is drive the pickup (with slow acceleration) towards the tank (hopefully towards his blind side) and about 10-20 meters away, make a hard turn to the right or left (Or full reverse, but riskier) to dump the mines in the direction of the armor.  If he's moving and a mine slides towards him and touches the armor.....BOOM.

When I did this......it was at the back of the palace where I took the pickup from the shed loaded up the front of it with mines (just goofing off) and then decided to take the pickup over to the Mosque.  The dirt road might have been a plus because the mines did not slide off until I rounded the corner at the back of the palace.  Lo and behold, an attack buggy with 3 schleps coming to C4 the assets were heading towards me.  Since I made the turn first, the mines slid off the Pickup to my left and right into the path of their buggy!  I never laughed so hard for the next 5 minutes.  The messages from the vics were "WTF was that?!?!".  "That was me screwing off and actually getting 3 kills with AT mines."  They had a good laugh when I told them what I did.

But now, I'm having a hard time duplicating this feat.  Can anyone else give this a try?  The dirt road might be a better option than the street.  But I was lucky on that one.  I was thinking that with practice, I might get good enough to take a tank out coming out of the SAS non-cap base.  Then it might be worth doing it.  Any takers?  Anyone else pulled this off already?  Got any pics?

You know this gives me an idea.

What if you put the mines in the back of a Humvee and have someone sit in the 4th slot to block them from going out of the back of the Humvee. So you just have the driver and the person in the back. Then when you get to a spot where you want them to start dropping perhaps that person could change positions to the MG position and then they start rolling out the back.  It would be a bit faster than an Engineer dropping mines out the back because of the time between drops.

Just an idea.

That's a pretty good idea kilroy, but Warlord (my favorite map) doesn't have humvees......but I will try that a try.  Only drawback to that though is that you need a cooperative teammate to help you and I don't think they'll get any points out of that method, yet still at risk at catching a tank shell or APC round.  It's easier to stick to a one person "mine laying" operation.  I wonder if a teammate on the pickup gun in the back would keep the mines from falling out as well, and do the same thing you suggested.  That might work in Warlord as well.  I'll have to give that a try as well......once I get a partner to help.

are you could load up with c4 and blow yourself up next to coalition troops like a real IED

If you are able to do this (Pickup and AT mines) proficiently, then you don't have to find another pickup to do it again, unlike running off to find another jeep to load up with C4.  If you can pull this off, it's more like a drive-by shooting (mining) which takes more skill than the jihad jeep maneuver......and funnier.

Well, that is the definition of the "Jihad Jeep".  I'm looking for the same type of effect by using an engineer instead of spec ops.

Wouldn't putting the damn things on the ground be easier.

How about sticking C4 to an ATV then ramming a tank or APC with it or jumping off and detonating them.....oh wait this has already been done. Same with AT mines.

well, you could load up a bunch of them in the hood, then drive as fast as u can towards a tank, then jump out a split second before... the car/pickup would explode, thus detonating the mines? or if its not fast enough, the car would probably crash, then throw all the mines in the hood towards the tank, then it lands in teh ground, then when the tank moves, KAPOW!

i dunno....... maybe? i'll try this when i got home

Added emphasis on the word "FUNNIER".

By the way, did I say it was funny?  Why yes, yes I did......way more funny than the Jihad Jeep manuever.
