I will be posting this in the general forum as well.

thanks for listening to the rant

Beacon placers tend to prefer the backside of buildings (eg the PP in city) or inside structures. That way they have at least some cover/protection than if they were outside. Also, vehicle/engineer rushes will inevitably end at a building door, and they all pile in, so well-placed mines inside doors will do the business. Not kill all maybe, but damage/scare 'em

Once the beacon is placed, and the whole world is warned, it's far easier to cower inside a structure than in the open, as you tend to become a lead magnet

There's no hard and fast, but times when either method is needed.

Any way people need to learn to place minds at the entrances to your base not the entrances to buildings a nuke can be places just as easaly outside a building as in it and haveing less places with mines makes them easier to moniter so you can replinsh them easier and stealth black hands will not find it so easy to plant

Remembering the 30 mine limit, including c4, there's not enough to go around. Mining the "entrances" to the base is usually futile. Chances are the mines will either be noticed and avoided, or placed in the wrong locations. Mines are also best used (IMHO) for anti-personnel than -vehicle.

You have point. People often forget about those beacon spots.

If it's a small map go ahead and mine the one small entrance and the tunnel. If it's a bigger map there's not nearly enough mines.

LMAO!! that is the most ridiculous thing I've read here in a while. You also may want to work on your sentence structure.
You can't just keep typing along like this jumping from idea to idea without using any punctuation because people have a hard time figuring out what you're even talking about and it also makes it hard to read in one breath since there are no pauses noted by punctuation just like this mass of rambling nonsense I have just typed here maybe you should ask your teacher for a refresher course in punctuation.
