Anyways, it's not very useful for smart pilots, as they will see you coming, start driving away, and shooting at you at the same time, roasting your LLV and everyone inside.

1: active scanner is very useful love them.

2: it boosts only the acceleration. You don't need them however, as it has enough torque anyways.

3: Assuming you're getting the Chary, do the passive. It works better from my experience with them (limited, as I don't play on that alt much). However, if you're doing Limbus, go active.

4: If you want a quick damage, I know I'm going to be trolled, but compressed rail. It does for some reason work. Tired it with a intern, and it worked. Sustained damage however, and you'll need to get a missile, particularly a accelerated one.

5: By decent amount of time, what do you mean by that? average time that I kill LLV's in is around 5-7 seconds. That's with them driving towards me.

Buy yourself a militia missile launcher and militia railgun (20GJ of course) do a test on which does more damage per second and per hit. You will quickly find the Missile Launcher superior, in all cases, infantry and vehicles.

Also, remember that LLAVs have a 50% damage reduction to their turrets or some number like that.

EDIT: Some people have rumored to make Proto 20GJ Compressed rails work but even then you need proto and proto missiles would be better regardless.

Just put 2 forge gunners in that LLAV and the fit will be irrelevant

I do just fine with my BPO LAV and just my lonesome, vehicles need some love :/
