Yes, I suppose if I did carry a forge gun with me everywhere I went, I would have a counter for this. But then again, that defeats the purpose of me using the heavy suit the carry an HMG. Otherwise, every other counter is impractical and not very effective. Let's tale a look at them:

-AV grenades? You sacrifice the ability to carry the most powerful AI weapon, and it takes three AV nades to kill a MLT LAV now, since they are so damn tanky. Ineffective.

-Swarm launcher? Just about as effective as the AV nades, except slower to fire. Ineffective.

-Don't ever go where an LAV can get to me? That's just stupid logic, seeing as how this game's maps are all 99% open fields. Impractical.

-Always drive around in my own vehicle? So now we have the same issue that tanks have, the best counter is to do the same thing everyone else does. Not like this game would have any real variety, right?

But please, do tell the counter that you were thinking of.

Alright, I get that you are trying to be reasonable, but that's incorrect. The Baloch has base armor of 2450, and PRO swarms do 220 per missile with 6 missiles in one volley. That means, assuming your flux takes out the 650 shields on the Baloch, you will hit the LAV with 1320 damage, multiply by the 1.2 that explosives do to armor, making it 1584 damage. That's assuming you even field PRO weaponry in a pub match, with is unlikely. It would destroy a Onikuma, perhaps, but I see very few people use those.

And my problem isn't that vehicles are hard to kill, it's that they charge in on a position faster that you can do anything about. I can't get to high ground before that LAV that just pulled up next to me unleashes all hell.

I don't get killed, I am the one killing other people. You forget that I've already said that I use this tactic, and I feel it is negating the only vulnerability that the heavy suits have.

Dropping from a dropship will either make you take fall damage, partially crippling your combat effectiveness, or you will be forced to activate dampeners, which both make a loud noise and also immobilize you for a second or two. So it has a risk/reward feature to it, unlike the low risk/high reward that goes with jumping out of an LAV.

There needs to be at least a small downside to using this tactic, is what I am saying.

The MLT LAV costs about 20k ISK. IDK how rich you are, but that's chump's change to me. My most commonly used suit is about 50k ISK, about 2.5 times as much as the LAV costs.

Tell me ppl. Do you think THIS is in any way tactical or possible especially with a big f*cking cannon?
