Get rid of mine warning for enemy (yes, enemy!) mines

Apparently the morons at DICE still have not fixed this blatantly obvious and very serious bug: Anybody with a wrench will get the mine warning for *enemy* mines.

Could you fix it?

Can anyone else confirm this? hehe have logged a lot of hours lol and not really paid attention to this... ???

If that is the case, it's extremely ghey and I think I have an idea on how to fix it.

Yep, I confirm this !

Most of the time I am in a Tank, I get blown up by a mine dropped ON my tank. Even if I don't move, I'll blow up. The worst part is that I know that I am beeing mined, because of this logo

I guess this unrealistic behaviour of mines destroying vehicles underneath is hardcoded, so you can't remove it ?

You mean the 2D skull and crossbones in the HUD .. not the 3D skull and crossbones over the mine ?

Hardcoded <- I know that is going to be the answer to this but..

I'm just throwing some ideas out there for a work around. Could it be possible to move where the 2D image is drawn? Could the transparency of the image be changed? Could you edit the image so that it is an extremely small one?

You guys have probably explored these ideas already so sorry if thats the case.

Also could you make it so that the friendly mines are flashing in BIG red letters "!STOP YOU IDIOT FRIENDLY MINE!".

We can and will remove the 2D HUD warning, don't worry.

that mean that (?) you will not recive the warning when you are near a friendly mine ?

It has happend to me countless times that an enemy vehicle/APC has been a few feet from one of my mines and suddenly slamms on the brakes. They do not see the actual mine, just the warning, so then they walk around their vehicle looking for it.
