The "Zimmerit" upgrade seems like a good idea...I hate those damn stickies.
As far as i remember, no one uses magnetic mines on CoH.
Thus a Zemmerit-upgrade wouldn't be really usefull, except turning the only early and usefull tank-counter from the US into useless crap.

The russians used that, it's in the mod too, I think.
Zemmerit would only be effictive against stickies from US Riflesquad. The AT-nades soviet tank-hunters use explode instantly and have to timer, at least in the game.

I'm thinking in gameplay mechanism. Use you're imagination... The sticky and the magnetic mine has similar use and effect.

Hmm. Perhaps the main argument here is that the Zimmerit paste itself does not have any significant anti-magnetic properties at all, just that the ridge-patterns (or waffle-patterns, as used on StuG. IVs) coupled with the vibrations/movement of the vehicle itself made it difficult for the offending device to stay in place. Thus, the only surefire way to disable (not destroy!) a Zimmerit-coated Tiger using stickies would be to crawl over and attach it to the treads/rollers---which would of course be suicidal and moronic (even the clichéd and wholly fictional film "Saving Private Ryan" featured this in one of its scenes).
