DUST Search - Jihad LAV is fantastic.

I've been loading up 9+ Remote Explosives on my LAV BPO's and I must say it's been awesome to kill tanks this way. I will wait till they pass me (hiding behind cover(Beware of their scanners!)) and then activate my Nitrous-ramming them at the correct speed. It's not fun when Dropships start chasing you, or when there are 7 tanks too many on the field, but it IS still fun when you do pull it off.

Anyone else been doing this? Do you have any tips?

A few tips I can give is that the roads are too bumpy, stupid things will cause your LAV to flip at the worst times possible if you're not careful.

Also, do put the REs in the front, I tried putting them in the back but they weren't close enough to the enemy tank when I collided with it.

BE PATIENT. You want to hit the tank, you don't want to have to dodge his buddies on the ground, I will wait a very long time if it means I can catch the tanker off guard. HIde you LAV in a safe place away from any idiots and watch the Map, wait till the dirty tanker has his back turned and then WHAM.

Again, if you don't control your LAV correctly, you WILL flip around like a spastastic flounder on the crack. I've had LAV's that were going full speed but bounced off and flipped over the tank, landing on its back like a turtle.

Send hate mail, I send "Get Gud", and it is very effective (Maintain frame, don't use logic, continue to send the same thing if they reply). My tear cup cI_I is overflowing, many tankers jimmies were and have been rustled.

Post your tank killing victory stories here. I'm saving up video as well, and will upload it soon.

There were a couple of Madrugars and one Gunnlogi amongst them. But it's kind of difficult to stop ALL of the jihad jeeps. When six are charging you, you have less than 10 seconds to kill all of them. These are people who don't care for their lives, either.

That's justifiably counter dck tactics with dck tactics but I was in a Caldari FW after destroying multiple tanks a jihad jeep crashed into me I was the only F*cking tank on the map I was later killed by a wykiromi FG mods down while engaging a tank they had PRO AV yet they had to jihad jeep me because their 3 tanks and 1 AV guy couldn't deal with me.

A tanker will definitely make a run into the red zone to put a stop to the LAV shenanigans if they suspect anything. That's why you have to set up auxillary Uplinks way way out by the edges of the map. You have to account for idiot teammates blowing the cover of at least 1 of them, so I'd recommend two spread very very far apart at the edge of the map. You do no want attention while you call your LAV down, and putting 6+ RE's does take some time. Also, I play Ambush mostly, since I don't squad with people much, and I find nearly every match has enemy tanks. Certain corps spam them more then others.

Seems like a one-way LAV can reach virtually any place in redline, within 20 seconds. Seems like going up into hills, in order to give the LAV bumpy terrain to traverse, would be the strategy for tanks to follow. the terrain would be for purposes of exploding the LAV at distance before it reaches the tank. If that location also happens to also be redline, that's just a coincidence.

When the LAV is in the redzone and you are piling REs on it, if the tankers figure out where you are they will gate crash you in the red zone before you can get your fireworks for the party started.
