Actually, the lower trigger weight of Teller Mines was 100kg... so just over 15st. I'm sure a well equipped soldier could cross that line no problem.
Perhaps that's why the trigger weight was increased in later versions.
OTOH, what are the chances you're standing on the trigger plate with your full weight? Most likely you'd walk over it, putting only 1 foot on it for a short time. Maybe that wasn't enough to trigger it.

Would also depend on the soil and dispersion of the weight through it so I dont think its all that simple

I think we all need to just step back and stop talking about the intricacies of teller mine trigger mechanisms.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Agreed. Maybe somebody here could find a live Teller Mine, jump on it and come back with the results to put all our minds at ease

Such idividuum would be worthy to win a darwin's  prize then, esp. if unable to come back to tell the story due to meeting all the requirements for winning the prize.

If you want a picture of the future,
imagine a boot stamping on a human face

It's such a good thing we stopped spamming about tellermines and now started spamming about some even more useless shit.

I suppose if the guy doesn't come back, jumped on the wrong mine :P. Well, let's go back to the topic.

Does someone else is following Back to Basic mod from Celestial??

I find this very interesting:

Drache Infantry Drop-Off

But i don't know if could be implemented in other mods though...
Mors Indecepta

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

Yeah, those will feature that abilities but those aren't using WW2 stuff hence, won't use Celestial's Drache, but modern helicopters.

I'm talking about unit & animations here xD.

I know the guy, who made it  ;D
But, IMO, it's a bit boring, 'cause it's mostly infantry-blobbing-based.

Yeah that's true, there's not much vehicles. But hard to drop a King tiger to an Island, or not? :D
