In every game I've ever played with AV Mines, I've always seen the mine at hte last second...

Then died, always.

Ill be zipping around, or making a tight turn in a tank and then see my demise. I stumble into it and think, "****, if only I went a little slower"

Not the case in this game. Its thermal vision or nothing with vehicles, good luck on going fast too, cause that rendering distance for those tiny things is pathetic.

I have only ever noticed one single proximity mine and no bouncing betty in this game. The proximity mine was dropped by a fleeing vanu so I saw him drop it. It's also the only one I've been able to disarm by blowing it up. I've been killed by them many times but they always hide under the ground, making them impossible to spot.
