I had this thought about LAVs this fine 4am morning,
What if driving in an LAV locked you into first person mode with no 3rd person view, that way people can still drive around and do whatever they please but it will be a tad bit more challenging.
This also allows a counter to the LAV, if a driver rashly tries to run over a group of red dots and eventually crashes headlong into the wall keeping him still enough (and without turning his head for situational awareness) allowing the red dots to fire upon his head and murder him.
I think it will allow for LAVs to still be used as a viable "murder taxi" style vehicle but requiring much more skill to survive engagement after engagement. It will also allow for a much easily attained counter of shooting out less aware drivers
Although this would be an issue when identifying swarm launchers or forge guns but perhaps CCP can include a "free" view 1st person driving mode allowing for better situational awareness.
post you're thoughts i'd like the feedback |

Thanks for the replies.
Well my ideas are mostly to try and do a quick balance fix for these infamous LLAVs, if you can't blow them up the next best counter is to kill the driver and take the vehicle, which can then be re-purposed to aid allied tanks or infantry with the rep tool (but lets be honest it'll end up being just another murder taxi but on our side instead, but thats a whole different problem altogether).
Locking LAV users in 1st person will make it easier for ground troops to take out LAV drivers who get too close or are standing too still to look around from the driver seat, while also making the act of murder taxi-ing a more challenging endeavor without the help of an overhead 3rd person view. |

We all know LLAVs are extremely unbalanced right now which is why im brain storming and proposing ideas for fixes, it'd be great to hear some feedback or ideas of your own. We cant fix the issue by whining about it constantly, lets be constructive and explore ideas.
EHP wouldn't be so much of a problem if it would be easier to kill the drivers like my idea outlines.
what other fixes would you guys suggest? |

-- snip of yet another great idea about fixing the problem that has existed since minute 1 in this game -- Oddly enough the Devs have been working on this before your 4 am epiphany. http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/08/uprising-1.4-and-beyondThe good news is they get paid to do it. That is an assumption on my part, admittedly.  Technically you paid to do it. Which is interesting but true as you paid with either cash, time or lost sleep. Dedication at its best.
Yes I am well aware that the dev blog has released information about the murder taxi fix, I just have to wait and see I guess. Regardless I think locking vehicle controls to a 1st person view will bring in a good balance of murder taxi and lav use with the addition of driving and situational awareness skills |
