Unable to deploy anti-tank mines

• Fixed an issue where Anti-Tank Mines could fail to deploy correctly in first-person view.

Since this update, the player is unable to place anti-tank mines in new zones on Casual Breakthrough, until after the last player withdraws.

It definitely wasn't like this pre-patch.  You couldn't drop them in the zones you were withdrawing from, but you could always place them in preperation in the new zones.

Edit: Playing PC.  Unable to place the mines (by hand) in the new defence zones while players are withdrawing, prior to defending those actual zones.  Which means attacker vehicles can rush unimpeded.

I've had the exact same issue. It won't let me place the mine when I press R2 or it shows me placing it but I still have the same amount of mines in my inventory. I've found switching back to my primary firing a few rounds, and then switching back to the mines works about 50% of the time as a work around. 

No longer able to place mines!!! All maps

Hi there. Thanks everyone for the reports and extra details. We’ve shared this Anti-Tank Mines deployment issue with the team —appreciate any additional info like platform, mode, and repro steps if you have them.

PS5, Breakthrough.

It's stupid we now need to wait till everyone has crossed the new border line. It gives us no time to prepare until the vehicles coming rolling in unimpeded by landmines.

is this why I cant drop a mine anywhere??? Stupid update screwed up a lot of things for me. I just place them anywhere at all

It's amazing how every update they manage to break more & more, maybe for next update they break with tradition & actually fix something players actually want fixed.

I have begun simply not playing the game when it puts me on defense because attacker wins every time now. It gives total advantage to the attacking team that has tanks when you can’t prepare with mines, i.e. defend. Not being able to place the mines before the tank gets there is unfair, unrealistic, and infuriating. You just get mowed down when trying to defend. EA MUST fix this or risk losing even more players due to their inability to make good decisions or maintain the functionality and competitiveness of the game. It seems every update doesn’t address old bugs and brings new ones.

I'm having the same issue on PC. A lot of the time I can't place the anti- tank mines. Sometimes you can lay them down without any problem, but it seems that when you get closer to the tank you can't deploy them, like the button (mouse) doesn't work.

Also outside your own area (red, counting down) it's impossible to place mines.

Playing season 2 starting Friday night the engineer class will not put the mines down just carries them around for show.  It also seems like there is a huge disconnect around the hit reg as well.  Quite literally stood over an enemy player and emptied an entire clip into them only for them to turn around and kill me with a single shot!
