Claw Scanner got nerfed?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'll still use em anyways. :\ not that big of a deal, and in fact, i think they got buffed. 40 power to 30? Heck yes. You guys should have slowed them down. :\

lol

Mistakes against mines and not preventing them from being dropped is too unforgiving. The explosion radius and damage should be reduced.

If the scanner doesnt die from explosions, it drops the mine it's holding. So even if you prevent it, they still drop mines. but i agree. reduce the damage to buildings.
