There was a number of changes made that were not addressed in the Battlefield V Tides of War Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes – Update #3 notes. This may of been due to the fact they were too insignificant or perhaps were simply not intended. The AP mines have been buffed significantly and are now a 1 hit kill provided you are hit directly by them. Going prone and running by but not directly into will do damage but not kill you.
This now brings another element to the game that will require players to move around more tactfully and not just run and gun without fear of the surroundings like in previous updates. While I do not use them and have been killed countless times by them, i do believe they are balanced and make for more interesting gameplay

Given how much people hate AP mines - this was definitely worthy of a mention in the patch notes IMO. Otherwise you have people here thinking it's a bug. If they're buffing AP mines to 100% damage - they should reduce it to 1 equipped - 2 allowed to be on the ground instead of 2 equipped and 3 allowed to be placed.
Bad balancing IMO.
