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.

I believe you can switch to the gunners seat to automatically flip the LAV over, but don't quote me on that.

Usually we just kill them. It's not like it's hard, just takes a little awareness. And making sure that EVERY LAV dies quickly
MLT scrublords, though? Probably.
Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters.
Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!

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. Even if you do by some miracle kill every single one they'll come back.

If you're not moving, you're doing it wrong. I've yet to see a LAV able to detonate while I'm moving constantly.

That's justifiably counter d*ck tactics with d*ck 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. KenKaniff had to spend that time looking for his mic instead of using a tank

I think it's great fun, but you are vulnerable when you are setting up. A tanker will definitely make a run into the red zone to put a stop to the LAV shenanigans if they suspect anything.

Got 2 tanks with 1 Jihad the other day... two idiots sitting on the bridge side by side... so I split the difference... twas EPIC.
another note.. if you done actually blow up when you hit them... just stay next to them... most of them are stupid and will shoot you... jeep explodes and so do they.
Also watch out for Prox explosives... I have seen organized groups putting these out on roadways to protect against the jeeps.
Jihading is one of my fav things to do in this game against tank spam...
Everyone has a plan until you punch em in the face!

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. |

Err.. how does redline stop anything like that? 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.

He is taking about the setup phase for the jeep. 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. |

I'll use em under the right circumstances, like if they rail tank my dropship from the redline or just excessive tank spam. Which is why I don't pitch a fit if I lose a tank to one. I'd still prefer to shame them with a final blow of the plasma cannon though.

This happened just yesterday. Tanker must've been feeling really slick as **** when he got me twice while I was trying to cap the same letter. So I got sick of his ****, got close to him, put 3 RE's on the tank, popped a flux and then the RE's. Bye bye tanker.
I'm seriously starting to believe RE's are the best AV equipment out there. I seriously feel empty inside whenever I don't use them.
Love the sinner, hate the Sindromer.

Its so funny when you park on their nose, don't realise that you cant actually do anything while still sat there and they blow it up. Whats even more funny is when they send hate mail afterwards and you respond saying they shot you while you were parked so its their fault

COVERT SUBTERFUGE'S JIHAD TIPS:
You shouldn't put the REs on the front of the LAV because it's easier to see and identify/shoot for enemies. Instead, put three on the left and right hand sides (above the wheel for e.g) of the front so that it's still close to the HAV but not in direct line of fire.
Use your overhead map to look for targets.
Always take the longer/indirect approach, it's best to flank the tank. Also, when stalking I go at almost a crawl so as to keep the lower engine sound profile. I speed when I know it's safe and the overhead map has shown no enemies in sight.
Use lower terrain to hide yourself.
Don't always drive like a madman. Situational awareness is important for effective hunting. Slow down when approaching exposed areas and use the rotating camera to quickly survey your immediate surroundings before moving on.
If possible, prepare your LAV under cover. Raging tankers have no issue to use an orbital just to kill that pesky Jihad merc

As a tanker, I actually love the Jihad Jeeps. They keep me on my toes. The only thing worse is the Jihad Dropship. NOW THAT TAKES *******!
To you future Jihadist's. Please remember DO NOT approach the tank from the front of the turret. Even if that first shot doesn't kill you, it does get rid of your RE's :)

until mlt lavs don't cost less than my adv suits and are EZ kill mode, the jihad jeep (we call it "Durka" for short) will always be a viable option.
P.S. it is fun to watch the mad scramble when tanks blow up in a group of enemies. |

I was fighting another Particle Cannon tank with my 500,000 ISK tank last night when a jeep came up behind me and slightly tapped me... Exploding me and his LAV laced with explosives. I didn't even get mad.. I just say. "Well... That happened"
