[Answered] Mining questions

[Theokarl1980]

Hi
I have 2 problems with mining mission
1. Is it possible that manually deploy mines on surface?(anywhere and anytime that i like)
Apparently only automatic mining by a miner is possible now
2.If an a/c miner (ex: Tu-22M)is assined to a mining mission,it couldn't deploy any mine on !!
Thanks for ur attention & responses

Hi Theokarl1980,

Mines are deployed by units on mining missions; I don't recall there ever being an option to release them manually.

If you can upload a save file showing 2 we can let you know what's happening there.

In attached scenario, CG 59 has 10 generic mine and was assigned to a mining mission. As soon as it reaches to the zone,it starts deploying mines automatically and nonstop. But i want to deploy them manually, anywhere and anytime i like or at least deploying automatically with a predefined time delay.
Is it possible ?

Hi Theokarl1980,

Mining missions allow you to set a predefined time delay for the activation of mines; in the save you provided this is set to 2 hours after placement. Mining missions are the only supported method of units placing mines.

Manual placement of mines is not currently supported. If you would like to request this as a feature please add it to the feature request thread.

Thanks Rory
But that 2 hours, was activation delay not deployment delay.
The 2nd case in my first post (airborne mine deploying),was not a bug ,that's my fault. Bcuz i selected an incompatible mine for a deep water
