>Car hits 400-pound deer at 40mph (65kph)
>Deer gets instantly killed
>Car takes no damage

How does that make sense? And yet that's essentially what we have.

If the vehicle takes no damage, the person who gets hit shouldn't take any damage either. If the person who gets hit is instantly killed, the vehicle should take substantial damage. Otherwise, don't talk about the logicality of anyone's argument.

Imagine you built a gun that fired 300 pound ammunition rounds with a muzzle velocity of 120km/h and you fired it at a stationary LAV. That is how much damage an LAV should take when it runs over a drop suit.

But you're not putting a 1" plate on a dropsuit, because you won't be able to move.

I understand that this is probably the 596th post about the Killer Taxi problem but I just gotta put my 2 cents in. Why not just make it impossible to kill players by running them down. Just like when the ability to run down team mates was changed. Being pushed along is inconvenience enough.

for all the crutches infantry get in this game, the least you could do is look both ways before crossing the street..

You've never read the description on the Heavy suits, have you?

The official lore states that WITHOUT ADDING PLATES, the minimum thickness of armour covering a Heavy suit is 25mm. That's almost an inch of covering on the WEAKEST parts of the suit.

Pretty sure adding Plates means more than inch-thick armour.

And that's just the armour, not accounting for the extra thickness (and thus weight) required for the sensors, motors and other systems that make the suit actually function as powered armour instead of just slabs of metal attached around a person and preventing them from moving.

So yes, a Heavy suit would probably weigh more than half a ton, and it's reasonable to expect LAVs to crash pretty painfully when they hit one.

All we want is to be more than just a bump in the road...

Keep in mind the M113 APC has the armour thinkness of 12 - 38mm armour and could easily plow through a moose at top speed

Minimum armour thickness is less than half what a Heavy suit has. We don't know the maximum, but looking at the design, there are overlapping sections, so probably close to - if not more than - the 60mm plate you can attach on your LAV.

Regardless of that factor though, the HEAVY SUIT should be comfortably able to plow through a moose. The LAV should NOT be comfortably able to plow through a Heavy suit without any damage.

How is the minimum thickness less then half of the heavy suit? My Gallenette LAV has over 1400 Armour without plates, around 2600 with plates, im pretty sure my LAV could mangle a heavy suit. Im not even counting the over 1000 HP from shields.

At what point in my post are you seeing me state that the guy in the Heavy suit should survive being splattered through the inside of his suit?

I said the LAV needs to be taking significant damage from the impact. I never said the Heavy suit shouldn't be killed from a hard enough hit.

Minimum armour thickness on a Heavy suit, as per the lore, is 25mm.
Minimum armour thickness on the M113 APC, as per the quote I was replying directly to at the time, is 12mm.

12 x 2 = 24
24 < 25

Math is your friend. So is basic reading comprehension.

Im not driving a M113 APC though, im driving a limbus. Going by HP numbers if a fully decked out heavy is rocking around 900 armour and my car is at base without armour mods around 1400 I should be able to plow through a heavy.

1400 > 900

on another note, If I can jump ontop of a LAV I should be able to knife the driver out of it. You can shoot them out but you cant knife them. Its bogus.

lol what are you smoking? cars are made of fiberglass...yea there will be some damage. It's a 400 pound dear...something is going to leave a mark.

your bogus. i have done it.

knife ----> head

also, infantry needs to get over itself. its called a roadkill. they are common in games with vehicles. dont like it? then get one yourself.

IT Is common in games with vehicles, true,games where vehicles are not cusomizable, nor soldiers have skills to use them with better preformance,nor vehicles take 4+ hits of Anti infantry weaponry.

You are right. It is common in other games. This isnt other games.
