Figured Bojo would have one by now. If not, it's a good idea.

Don't stereotype me because I'm a revolutionary

Scheneighnay the LAVs are good but don't pull em out. The HAV spam; it's all I need to say. Small blaster increased range feels much better, small railguns work ( I headshotted protosuits and they can inflict vehicle damage) and are overall better. Missiles are like the same except have reload.

However my fittings end up looking the same....I either have a nitro or scanner in my high, and I always have a repper, the difference between most fittings is if I have armor plates, a hardener, or another repper.

The LAV HP buff really makes my Methana more resilient to AV but for some reason, Rail rifles are doing insane damage to my LAV, I lost my Methana to a rail rifle when my overview map accidentally came up.

No stereotyping intended. We need more mercs like you.

I haven't gotten a chance to put a decent squad for this together, but how are LAVs this build? We used to have a time machine

Loyal Amarr and Caldari supporter Don't even start with AV and how tanks are not OP.

Blasters tear through non moving enemies but if you have no proficiency in the turrets, the driver needs to do the rotating to assist the gunner. Rail turrets pack a serious punch to preoccupied shield tanks and the small missile turrets got an increased rate of fire so they hit armor hard. You can make some pretty swift and tanked fits with passive alone. I haven't tried any active modules yet though.

Cosgar ParagonX 8732	Posted - 2013.12.15 19:34:00 - [7] - Quote LAVs still don't have a real place on the field yet. Maybe when we get better anti infantry turrets, that'll change. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"
Zirzo Valcyn Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 2	Posted - 2013.12.15 19:35:00 - [8] - Quote not that hyped on the new handling.. felt mushy but i'll adapt. with full shield skills the saga-II was about 1600 shield, 900 armor and default shield hardener. it's nothing like the logi lav of old but i felt still somewhat secure until an unmanned rail turret 2 shotted me. i had a complex shield extender and an enhanced scanner. a squad of rifle infantry couldn't do much to me but tanks now can kill lav pretty quick. i feel it's somewhat balanced now that lav has a counter which seems to be a tank.

IMO, they're too weak, even at proto, to be a serious threat to an HAV We used to have a time machine

X-eon Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 58	Posted - 2013.12.15 19:39:00 - [11] - Quote That could help, but I honestly haven't seen anyone really dedicated to just being a gunner on an LAV. I have one corp mate who's proficient with turrets and we tear it up. I went 1/0 (ran a poor sap over) and he went 19/1. This was with at least three tanks on the enemy side as well. In another match we had friendly's running jihad jeeps so my LAV was bait. We'd punch a tank a couple of times with a rail to lure him out and drop a good portion of his shields or armor and BOOM Jihad Jeep from behind. After the 8th Tank, they stopped calling them in.

Borne Velvalor Endless Hatred 1057	Posted - 2013.12.15 19:42:00 - [13] - Quote The only problem with LAVs is that you can call out a nitro boosted militia HAV for the same price. Transport and an 80GJ turret with massive HP. Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn. Panda.
