I may hit you up also, Rails are actually viable this build, they are like a 10 shot tactical sniper rifle vs infantry and make short order of other LAVs while in pursuit. I haven't had the opportunity to bug a tank with them yet, but I can't wait to try.

I've actually been surprised with the Rails that I've seen in action. They're able to VERY effectively act as point defense and you can use the LAV itself to cover a very large area of the map. Going in I thought their AV capabilities would still be outmatched by the Small Missile and their anti-infantry capabilities would be outmatched by everything else but on certain maps the thing can really dominate.

rails seem to be an effective anti dropship weapon, i haven't done a lot of testing on this, but you can avoid a lot of the inaccuracy you get against ground targets and that DPS shreds unhardened pythons, at least in the one or two matches i got to try this idea out.

Ooh. Nice. What is there range vs heavy turrets? Out range boasters by chance?

I need someone to bounce off fitting ideas and to wreck up stuff with. I need a 6 man team, 2 or 3 LAVs. -Myself -Driver 2 -Gunner 1 -Gunner 2 -Passenger 1 (preferably Logi or Heavy) -Passenger 2 I run Methana Blaster/Railgun with priority on Blasters. I don't care if you run Saga with Missiles but I would prefer a fellow Methana so we would have compatible bug out times. I would prefer that the person runs missiles or at least a little railgun because when the fix this nitro tank BS I could have someone to attempt tank hunting with. Don't tell me it's suicidal, because I want to try it damn it! Yeah so hit my mail up, I want to know more LAV drivers!

That's not a bad idea but I feel like two Commandos being supported by two blaster LAVs is gonna be a hard nut to crack. I ran an LAV squad with you before and fast hacks are definitely a big pro, but if some serious HAV heat is on me I think it would be a good strategy to run LAAV with AV/AI infantry to be very flexible

Honestly, a 850+ EHP Logi with Swarm launchers and Ishikune SMG could do you equally good. Plus , carry a repair tool for the LAV if needed and Drop uplinks to leave in good areas to also help the team advance. just saying. A commando could work,but an SMG is equally effective than a rifle,people just fail to realize....and the logi is far superior than a commando. In any case.

You are right, the SMG is highly reliable sidearm (not too much skill required and it has pretty good chance of killing a lot of people. However that would require the Amarr Logi and like Reav pointed out, a Minmatar Logi with that hacking bonus is going to be very useful for Objective pillaging.

Ooh. Nice. What is there range vs heavy turrets? Out range boasters by chance? as i said i haven't really had a chance to test this. what gave me the idea was the following event in an ambush match. i jump into the top turret of a gunlogi, standard small rail nothing special, enemy python is being a nuisance, its floating in the middle of my elevation as its hardeners run out, i overheat the rail into it, taking out about 80%of its shield, a forge gun then hits it and kills it. and that was a standard small rail, i'm wondering if the advanced could urn an lav into a mobile, relatively cheap and effective AA platform, but as i said i haven't had the chance to test this yet.
