If you spend some time to think about putting mines at strategic locations, it's no problem to use them effectively even with the dmg and the range limit they have right now. There are plenty of positions to put them, especially against tanks and other ground-based vehicles, as they gotta use a narrow path to push. A mine that does around 600 dmg can kill a light tank or a heli if they have slightly less than full hp, and two of them can kill both instantly. As for bigger tanks: demo costs less than half of what airship and thunder tank cost, so logically it must have difficulties killing them with its skills; and the mining kits' dmg/price ratios are fine. Of course it gets harder and harder to kill bigger tanks with mines, but maybe it's just not made to be a strategy usable throughout the game; especially the innate mines of demolisher.
