Hovercraft and mines
A simple question: why hovercraft is destroyed my mines? it's not supposed to hover?
Not sure if it's a bug or devs just forgot to implement it.
Any thoughts?

Hovercraft use fans to lift their weight off the ground, creating pressure/lift to ride on a cushion of air, so even though they are riding on that cushion of air, the actual force needed to generate that lift is equal to or in excess of the actually weight of the hovercraft
Since most landmines are pressure actuated, I would say they are functioning exactly as they should.

This website claims they do not trigger them and if they do the air cushion absorbs the shockwave

It was a good learning opportunity.
It did not occur to me either before the OP brought it up. - @Ironhead841 Did you never watch James Bond: Die Another Day? 😉
Negative, sir.
I don't watch very much TV (like almost zero) and very few movies.
What passes for "entertainment" these days doesn't appeal to me much.
I have to admit I was skeptical so did a bit of research, but apparently it's true hovercrafts can potentially cross mine fields.
This raises the question why there isn't more hover crafts in Ukraine. 🤔
