Confusing description[edit]

What do [1], [2] and [3] mean under the heading Action? They seem to refer to an illustration that isn’t on the page. They should be deleted. Also, Action should be replaced with Function. The text describes how the mine functions. 151.177.73.209 (talk) 13:20, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The mine contains multiple pyrotechnic retarders, which perform different actions and serve various functions. At the time, I couldn't come up with a more discernible way of differentiating them without a proper illustration showcasing the process of mine deployment. Albeit, I see how it is confusing, so if you have a more understandable way of re-making the explanation in mind, I invite you to, but otherwise the removal of the paragraph is also an option.

And yes, you are right, it does describe the functionality of the mine. Mk0uQ (talk) 06:04, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incomprehensible description[edit]

There is a lot of detail, but I couldn't follow exactly what it does and how it works, which is why I came to this page to start with. I'd suggest a simple, one-sentence description of what it is/what it does at the very beginning. Really, this is not useful as written. Mondebleu (talk) 17:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
