I dont understand why is this the only game that i have ever played that have vehicles in team death match, and CCP refuses to take them out. What is a lav role in ambush besides cheap kills?

Transport, logistical support, scouting, ambushing if CCP would increase the damage of proximity mines then no one would spawn lavs so frequently.

I think it makes total sense. And in fact, ambush is where I see the most use of vehicles. It's supposed to feel like a very quick escalation. That's what an ambush is. An oh **** moment before all hell breaks loose.

Imagine it, your patrol's is out on a routine sweep in the volcanic formations surrounding your patron's corporation's HQ. Noxious fumes of chlorine deposits burnt by thermal flows choke the air in long plumes, rising with a chemical crackle to blot out the sister moons that orbit this Jovians-be-damned world.

All of a sudden through the smoke you see something come around one of the solidified magma flows, it's silhouette blurred by the air pollution and ebbing light from the thermal vents. As you try to confirm what you see, an entire wedge of mercs materializes as a smoke cloud blows out of the way. Both sides are surprised, minds working too slow registering an unexpected event. But then someone fires a shot, and the whole world descends into maddness in seconds as rounds are exchanged, locus grenades detonate mere meters away, and miniguns begin their merciless sweep of the surrounding area.

You find yourself somehow isolated within seconds, holed up in a rock formation cursing whatever Neo barb gods got you into this mess, making promises to whatever listens to visit Kaalakiota Corporation's Summit Temple when you get away from this dead beat job. To your left a fellow squadmate falls down as he tried to take a shot with his mass driver. Before his attacker can finish the job an Ammarian from a different squad in a heavy dropsuit steps to fill the gap, Forge gun already charged and firing.

A minmatar logistics unit rushes over with a nanite injector and then you hear it. A low hum, a sizzling in the air leading to a bass roar as the first dropship drops the first Gallente made HAV. In the distance you see the opposing force receiving a pair of Caldari LAVs. All around you mercs reach out to their counterparts hanging over them in the heavens, demanding reinforcements as the battle reaches a new fevered pitch. Reacting with the same surprise found on the ground the dropships make one payload. Then another. Then another. And then another.

Awesome and immersive story there bro.

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.




Hellz ya man. That's a fun time. And while I think the game should always be well made and still fun, the world of New Eden is a rough place. A tank dropped into a bunch of infrantry with no anti-armor detterents should NEVER be fun. It's a freaking tank.

Anway kiddos, if you remember one thing remember this. It's "I'm up, He sees me, I'm down", not "I'm up, He sees me, He still sees me, ****"

It was a mistake to award vehicle impact kills. Hint: Find the code that allows this madness, highlight, and delete.

This game allows you to choose how you want to play. These vehicles have been skillid into and deserve their place on the field as much as the next. A lot of L/LAV's will out score most snipers these days.

Its not its intended role, just like Caldari Logistic dropsuit was not meant to b a assault suit, the L-Lav was not meant to be a weapon!
I agree they deserve a place in the field (ambush, domination) :
1 - transportation fron objective to objective
2- support friendly vehicles



Whats its actually used for:
1 - rain terror on enemys as a death weapon

What is a lav role in ambush besides cheap kills?

if vehicles aren't meant to be weapons, then why do I have a large rail gun on my tank?


Of course they are ment to kill with the turret. Especially tank. But when was the last time you got killed by a turret from a LAV not to mention a L-LAV?.......
.......exactly, i have never been killed by the turret of
CCP just take it out of Ambush



vehicles serve their roles, lavs have too much tank though, dropships are even sadder than tanks, and tanks have the ability to fire like tanks
