Air-Dropped Minefield - Squadron Consumable

Air-Dropped Minefield Details

The air drop minefield consumable is attached to the dive bomber armament. By activating the "Air-dropped Minefield" consumable, a circular area is created in the current coordinates of the squadron that is then filled with mines. Minefields consist of a large number of separate mines that can't deal damage immediately – they need some time to become activated. They explode on collision and have a high chance to cause flooding. They remain active for several minutes and are mainly used as a zoning tool. Mines can be destroyed with Depth Charges and Depth Charge Air Strike – when a player destroys a set amount of mines, the whole minefield will disappear. 

Air-Dropped Minefield:

Max damage per mine: 9,167

Minefield radius: 2.5 km

Consumable action time: 5 s

Minefield activation time: 40 s

Minefield duration: 40 s

Cooldown time: 160 s

Detectability range: 10.0 km

Number of consumables: 3
