i donno if something strange happened, but i ran over insurgents AT mine, and was damaged but alive and able to drive back to main for repairs.
as far as i remember, contact with AT mine caused any vehicle to immediate death.

Bradley have good armor, you are lucky.

i have seen this a lot on humwvees going on full speed over mines, they dont splode until the hunwvee has passed over the mine, then the mine makes a very small explosion and you survive.

Partially due to mines not doing lethal damage for heavy vehicles (eg tanks) which doesn't mean much for an IFV on top but combined with the lag before it triggers... you now are 5m from the explosion and the explosion's radius isn't very big, just very powerful, so you don't take much damage at all since you're nearly out of it's radius when it detonates.

Had something similar happen yesterday on TG, my SL ran over a mine with a full landie, no casualties and the landie wasn't even smoking.

It happens, thank the gods and keep your eyes open

Well i roll over mine with Leo2, CR2, and M1A2 and they survive every time since the 0.95... Worst i got its a track that goes off'. Anyway its always cool when you survive mine, IED or anything

I've had this happen to me (as an insurgent) a lot. Humvees, Bradleys and other vehicles drive occasionally overy my mines with little or no damage to the, as if the mine had detonated long after the vehicle has passed it. Of course if I happen to hit a mine it kills me instantly
