First of all let me start by saying I had a much easier time hiding the old IEDs then these new ones. The water container IEDs are great for burying but the mortar, mine, and other TNT IEDs are pretty easy to see and thus the whole idea to me is void, espeically at the affect of this bug:
When you put the new buried denoated IEDs in some places, they don't work, and just yesterday I placed one next to me in a crater under a bridge, I couldn't get out, so I decided to blow the IED to kill myself and demo the bridge as a humvee went over. The IED was still visible so I know it didn't glitch far away. When I blew the IED it didn't blow the bridge, humvee, or even kill me less than 2m from it!
2nd Part is way to fix if my hunch is correct not really bug report:
I think the idea was great, I really like the old arty IEDs being brought back. I still think they could be covered for players who want to, possibly with trash that looks like the ground textures all over the place, and they could be put into the civilian kits so anyone could do it, because trash is everywhere, and that would help civilian/sapper teamwork. I would imagine that the IEDs not going below ground may have some sort affect on how well they work?! The old arty IEDs seem to work much better, even the pipebombs had better effect because you could put them high up on a wall where as these new ones are all FAIL if you try to put them up high. The new IEDs could easily be hidden by a seasoned sapper, maybe an alternate kit could be worked up for those of us who don't wish to bury anything but the water containers or the power on the buried IEDs needs to be turned up a bit. Even the old arty x 2 didn't even start smoking an LAV so I dunno what's going on.
