I tried one minelayer shooting forward on a negative tilted vehicle. Big tracks upfront and smaller at the back. Requires some training to find the correct fire distance but the damage is great.
I was so excited for the dove but there are so many issues, I can only imagine they are going to have to rework this weapon, cause as it sits nobody will use them
Seven energy is ridiculous. This thing slaps cyclones like little girls, devs that made this must have been thinking. I wonder how this game actually functions with brains like this behind the game.
A build with this minelayer that is maybe effective: At the back are the Minelayers and a Skinner. The minelayer must be positioned so that they fire backwards. You pull an opponent with the Skinner behind you and place all the mines on the opponent. Haven’t tried it.
you can do that with kings and its easier to build power wise. 7 per unit is really hard to build around. To be honest this is my least favorite weapon in the game.
I saw a cool idea with the dove on the console edition exhibition the idea was pretty much like a dog build with a longer roof so the self damage isn’t to much and they used hadron and flywheel with 2 doves and just ran into people with the doves facing forward really cool idea
I think the biggest difference between the king and the dove is that the king mines take a bit of time before they can go off, unlike the dove. This alone makes it so you almost never get self damage with the king. If they added something like that to the dove, it would be much better
I think what would be good if it had vertical rotation like up and down movement and add the cursor so you can see where you are firing it this would allow it to be easier to use in the helicopter mode which was what I think would be it’s intended game mode and made it more of an artillery style weapon for ground vehicles and could make for some interesting builds
JB trata de encachar con cable a un vehículo enemigo y cuando lo este arrastrando suelta minas desde adelante y con otro B12 Dove detrás para tener 2 variantes para jalar a los enemigos retrocediendo y avanzando (en diferentes gatillos).
I used the Dove today with 2 King minelayers but I had the Dove aiming upwards so when I stealthed past a group I spat out Dove mines and King mines and a LOT of em it was chaos for the enemy team and great fun for me!
Me and extrathicc was trying it with a dragger kapkan and the damage numbers were there but the actual damage itself wasn't. Took me almost the full match to kill a guy. The idea of the weapon i love but i wish they would change it up make it have to modes to cycle threw where you can shoot them like mini mandrake or leave them like mines i get they would have to change the design but thats the only way i can see them actual being used and not just left in the dust for a game mode they have to put mini battle passes around
Better off with the King. Yeah but I can't afford to buy or craft the King and the Dove is £free£ with the Battle Pass; from which I mainly want the AA-Starfall Autocannon. That looks epic and appears to perform as good as it looks. A twin Starfall build would be cool; and 5x Starfall Levi could be really messy! Yo!!! What wheels are those?? Dove w/ a Kronus cab, 2x Skinner, chameleon, flywheel and a Daze. Stealth in, hook them up, drag them over mines, Daze them , hook and mine them again, disconnect, stealth & drive away, rinse and repeat!
I tried to mount it to one of my builds, an art build based on Cobra's Rage Tank. It was easier said than done due to power requirements, so I stuck with the King Minelayer on that one.
Yo JB, my in game nemesis :P The dove, you put two in front (middle of the build) (you have some build in the expo), you add hadron + a kapcan or king, will help with the reload. You will usually dmg yourself, but way less than your ennemy. They nerfed it recently, I’ve tested them 3 weeks ago and ou were doing like 2200 dmg, now it is more around 1500. Harpy can be good, but I didn't try it. See you next game, and that game I win :P
A fused build w/ Quad Doves, one deploy left one deploy right and the other two behind!. or all four deploy backwards. Deploy, deploy, deploy, deploy; leave one massive long trail of mines!!! >XD
People use those but you need more power to drage players and druability to survive while being dragged so your PS ends up being 15k or something. I tried recording a dragger build twice but i do so bad with it but i'll try again and upload it as a fail i guess
Great video buddy,, and they are really horrible to use, but if you can pull it off they can devastate with just one, but they are really horrible to use
The issue with this weapon is the damage or the lack there of. Plus, the visual effects are way to big for what it does, when an enemy is getting blown up by one i can hardly see where he is past the explosipn effect. Not to mention the sound is obnoxiously loud
Youre using them wrong. I use 3 boosters a flywheel and have one pointed backwards with the dispenser facing vertical. I then ram people then fire the mines when I'm running away with boosters. Often people chase and that doesnt work out for them lol. If they reduce the power requirements to 4 or even 5 I could see them being useful to a mauler build for when people are shooting your butt when youre munching away.
Yeah but that is already yhe issue if i want players to chase just use the king mines. They deal more damage and only use 3 energy. I hope they tweak them before the end of the bp
This was the only reason why I thought about getting the BP but seeing how practically useless these things are, it seems that it ain't worth it. Like, heli mode will die soon, at least if the devs don't ban homing weapons from it. Pyre's not even the problem, cauc players kill the fun completely.
Caucasus gets ripped up by any build with purple+ MGs and they're already nerfed on the test server. The only real issue in heli mode is Nests, their tracking is nuts.
@@semberspirit Maybe the test server is fine. Up until this moment, the caucs were just annoying and unnecessary in the heli mode. I wonder if you're the one ripping caucs or getting ripped.
ok sory but your saying ,,,, about the dove it a mine layer but not it bomb they arte made to be use on heli JB comon your troling real hards dont go and say ther bad wen you use them badly and onm a ground build you realy anger me wen you troll like this i almost unsub after seeing this vid
I tried one minelayer shooting forward on a negative tilted vehicle. Big tracks upfront and smaller at the back. Requires some training to find the correct fire distance but the damage is great.
I like the idea for this minelayer but right now it's just a really bad weapon and could use a few buffs
You need to learn how to build, joking I also just got the Dove and i agree with you.
I was so excited for the dove but there are so many issues, I can only imagine they are going to have to rework this weapon, cause as it sits nobody will use them

just use kings lmao

Could it work if you had an Aegus prime to protect yourself?
I think the biggest difference between the king and the dove is that the king mines take a bit of time before they can go off, unlike the dove. This alone makes it so you almost never get self damage with the king. If they added something like that to the dove, it would be much better

Any tips and/or tricks that you use, jb?
They should make the mines magnetic so they roll towards the closest enemy. That would make up for them having such a short fuse.
Me and extrathicc was trying it with a dragger kapkan and the damage numbers were there but the actual damage itself wasn't. Took me almost the full match to kill a guy.

What about the classis hadron/king mine build with dove?
I tried to mount it to one of my builds, an art build based on Cobra's Rage Tank. It was easier said than done due to power requirements, so I stuck with the King Minelayer on that one.
U agree 7 energy is way to much for this weapon, as it sits now 4 energy would be more acceptable

JB for Dev of the week!
I want to see doves on a tower, park on a hill and you "should" be able to aim them like a heli.
Hey jb, love your vids
You should probably use a dov with a skinner so you can pull an enemy then lay the mines behind you.
While in CAR, can you shoot them UP to land around you??
They’re alright. Use one firing upwards with 2 king mines and it does work.
Strategy, drive to base when sime comes to remove you lay the mines
Gaijin needs to do something about the obnoxious spam of goblin meta builds around 5000 PS.
I tested Dove on the ground the first day of BP and it was quite a disaster.
I hope they buff its performance as minelayer
Change the Kapkan for king mine and griffin cabin for hadron
Aw man i wanted to see that other top down build, next time you wanna try doves let me know ill make sure im avaliable to drag around for you
That's for another time :) I was done recording and just wanted to test it. I brought it to k with only 1 dove but the DPS is just not there
what about skinner with strong cabin and then just drag him into mines?
People use those but you need more power to drage players and druability to survive while being dragged so your PS ends up being 15k or something. I tried recording a dragger build twice but i do so bad with it but i'll try again and upload it as a fail i guess

I used the battlepass Dove in my test range for 5 minutes, then salvaged it.
hi can you play with retchers again in video?
What stopping someone from putting these on a heavy king dragger build?
It's been tried and your just better off using king mines
JB it's better to have two in the back with one kapkan, not on the sides
wedge build, shoot upwards :P
So if you have some one chasing you like a melee build its good defense but that power rating of 7 is way to much
Youre using them wrong. I use 3 boosters a flywheel and have one pointed backwards with the dispenser facing vertical. I then ram people then fire the mines when I'm running away with boosters. Often people chase and that doesnt work out for them lol. If they reduce the power requirements to 4 or even 5 I could see them being useful to a mauler build for when people are shooting your butt when youre munching away.
Yeah but that is already yhe issue if i want players to chase just use the king mines. They deal more damage and only use 3 energy. I hope they tweak them before the end of the bp
Its almost laughable how bad the self damage is. Did they even test it out before releasing it?
This was the only reason why I thought about getting the BP but seeing how practically useless these things are, it seems that it ain't worth it. Like, heli mode will die soon, at least if the devs don't ban homing weapons from it. Pyre's not even the problem, cauc players kill the fun completely.

@@semberspirit Maybe the test server is fine. Up until this moment, the caucs were just annoying and unnecessary in the heli mode. I wonder if you're the one ripping caucs or getting ripped.
@@karlissulcs3822 Why would I lie? Caucs are lame. If I was the one getting ripped, I'd just agree with you.
So many things wrong with thsi weapon its insane lol. Its like it had no balance done to it before hand.
I salved that piece of shit the 2nd day I got it bc I forgot to salvage it the first day. (I couldnt sell it)
dont say doves are pretty good, cuz they are not , i wish i could sell mines
ok sory but your saying ,,,, about the dove it a mine layer but not it bomb they arte made to be use on heli JB comon your troling real hards dont go and say ther bad wen you use them badly and onm a ground build you realy anger me wen you troll like this i almost unsub after seeing this vid
This is the first BP i don't want more of anything in the BP. The mines are garbage because they explode themselves and dont persist long enough.
