Recently, I feel as though the LAV has been regarded as JUST a transport or a Jihad jeep, but I'm here to tell you to not make that mistake. I'm a good enough LAV pilot to avoid deep shxt when there are tanks on the field and my gunner has slain
As an aside, post up stories about LAVs you've faced or encountered that were crazy effective.

Haha, truth be told I never Murder Taxi'd I was a LLAV pilot repping other vehicles in matches, I'd go 0/0 but my tanker buddy would never die. After the match, I'd ask for a 100k donation for keeping them alive and most complied. :P

In the previous build, myself along with LD Collins managed to take out Several tanks in a single match using LAVs. We were able to drive circles around Railgun and Missle tanks. Blasters were difficult, but we always managed to avoid them. We took out 7 tanks total that match.

I drive them, just hard to make a usable fit that can take a rail hit, hit hard, AND not get the driver shot out. Typically it's missiles with scanner, hardener, and PG/CPU. Other times it's plate, hardner, scanner/nos

It is rather limiting, but you need a really competent gunner to get the max efficiency out of whatever turret you're using. The Nos is a good way to get in and out too, but for that, you might as well use a saga with shield hardeners. I've got 15 different fits all with their pris and cons.

Sadly the gunners are way too easily shot out of with no protection and I can't even see his health anymore. On top of that most light weapons actually out DPS even an Ion Blaster.

I don't have a capture card or any way to record atm, but if you need proof, gun for me and I'll show you what I do. It is an SP sink though. Prof 3 in small blasters cost a hell of a lot but it makes a difference on rotation speed.

Here's everything remotely useful I've dug up so far:
For WP farming, have the gunner shoot someone before the driver roadkills them. The gunner gets 2 assists (55 WP) and the driver gets a kill (50 WP)
Weaponise the passenger- have them jump out with AV weapons, or with AI weapons to kill AVers. They can also hack for you. (Haven't tried it this build, so be careful in FW; not sure if you could accidentally roadkill the passenger when they jump)
HAVs were a constant problem when we did this research. It'll probably be worse now. Maybe better, because of the rail tracking nerf.
Poor turret tracking also makes it difficult for the gunner to shoot while the LAV is moving, and you still seem to need to compensate for movement.
LAVs don't like hills. Scout LAVs used to blow over them, but they don't exist anymore.
That's all I got. If you want my help in-game, I can use sagas with proto rails. Should have missiles soon.

I can be LAV pilots, in fact, and I can drive every kind of vehicles gody LOL -use LAV to jump over a runnung guy without killing him, jump over a guy and kill him either, survive from blaster tank for more than one min just by going around it, use LAV to kill a tank with full hp without break my lovely LAV or hurt myself
-use HAV to road kill 4 times in a row, distroy a LAV without hurting myself or any ammo, kill a blaster tank with rail by turning around it, 1p1 a proto tank with mit tank, redline hunting, hurting@redline, distroy sheild tank with missile turret, kill 3 tanks in a row with ADV rail without reloading
-use dropship to roadkill, distroy a tank by open a hole on it's head, 1p1 dropship, 1p2 dropship (with gun one), tank hurting, run from 3 rail tanks with nomal dropship, 1 secord landing, rotations, flying upside down
