Nail the front of their Jeep with a single shot and they explode. I don't see it as a problem. I AV, but i dont mind the Jeeps killing tanks for me. It lets me just go back to hacking installations and the objective. When my buddies tank they get a little flustered about it but then we just laugh it off because it is funny plus the fact is, They managed to hit their tank even though even a single stray bullet could blow them up (I have used the suicide jeeps myself, and I laugh so hard when im about to hit a tank, and some random stray bullet hits my bumper and my LAV explodes and barrelrolls onto the tank)
hitting that small explosive on the front of a wildly moving LAV is damn near impossible

(real question, since the vehicle redesign was supposed to be along the lines of 'Waves of opportunity") no hardeners are not enough to save you even 2 hardeners can be beaten You are exaggerating. 2 hardeners on an Armor Tank will put its armor alone at over 10K. 2 hardeners on a Shield Tank will put its shield HP at over 10K. Unless they are using 7 REs (which you need Demolitions V to do) and ramming you at full speed, you'll survive. REs deal 1500 damage with the aurum, lvl1, and lp Res that 9 REs total for a grand total of 13500 damage thats a **** ton to take in one shoot plus Res are explosives so bonus damge to armor plus the damage you take form the LAV hitting you i have taken close to 20k damage from a murder taxi
You can't place 9 REs unless you have Demolitions V. That's a significant SP requirement. Your original argument is out the window at this point.

As for vs tanks, i think its more a symptom of being able to spam 6+ by a single suit, and all of the other AV options sucking vs the current tanks.
I for one would prefer we balance things, and not disregard the clever things players can come up with. true however this cant go on like these because it screws with any attempt to balance it needs to be removed from the equation so that we can test and find out what really works. broken mechanics are not a reason to farther break the game the main problem with it is really the fact that 1. LAV explode if they so much as little tap a tank 2. equipment spam in general 3. REs exploding on destruction the best thing to fix this i think is number 3 because there really is no need for that to happen dont know what everyone else thinks though again the problem is not the LAVs or the REs themselves just the combo of them
People are using Jihad Jeeps out of nessecity. There are only 3 effective AV options right now, Rail Tanks, Jihad Jeeps, and Assault Dropships. Jihad Jeeps are the cheapest option that works. If there were real vailbe AV options, you would see their numbers go down.

while yes you are right that current AV is lacking this problem will not just go away due to how cheap and effective it is people will still do it even if AV is strong because DUST is so massive dependent on Isk if people can do more or the same with less isk they will

Haha, this is fun to read!
Thankfully i have both a tanker alt AND guristas LAV's with demo V.
I don't care that it takes a jihad jeep to kill a tank, you know what's more annoying? Having an ADV blaster tank die to a mlt rail IN CQC. Before you can even begin to circle around him he's already landed 4 shots on you, which is double the amount needed to kill you.
So put up with it wannabe tanker/failAV.
I've killed quite a few HAV's using Dau/5 forgies, i killed one with a federation allotek plc, and i've killed 2 tanks with state wyrrkomi's, if FW wasn't botched i'd still be earning LP for wyrrkomi's, they're pretty darn effective.

Jihad jeeps were always possible, but their actual use came out of necessity. Fix AV nades/FGs/Swarms, and I guarantee you'll see Jihad jeep use go down significantly. They might not go away completely, but that's just how it goes. Can't punish players for ingenuity. I know a lot of people who would much rather use a Swarm Launcher, they just can't, because it's a joke. |

I have all kinds of problems with this statement, but as a previous responder pointed out, suicide LAVs are not 0 ISK. If you remove the ISK part of the argument, then you must also believe that militia tanks shouldn't be able to instantly kill anything period, nor militia suits. Do you believe I shouldn't be able to kill with a starter fit? The problem isn't that suicide LAVs are allowed, the problem is that other AV solutions aren't better than rigging up an exploding jeep. I believe you should be able to do it, but I also believe it shouldn't be your best option. that statement was not to say thay you cant kill will free stuff just that it shouldn't do it in a manner that is impossible to avoid starter fits can be shot and militia tanks can be killed and can do the same however both things leave the person fighting them a fair fight back. murder taxis are not a fair fight.
First you NEED Sp to make them work as you need to different RE's to make any tank go boom. So you also need ISK as there is no BPO RE (for gods sake).
And last they are easy to counter and its a high risk task. Do you know how often an unmanned railturret killed me in my LAV (not evan a Jihad)?
And apart froom that any infantry that shoots the RE's on the Jihad LAV will make the LAV go boom. If you die to a Jihad LAV ist because you did not pay attention. I saw numerous tankers succesfully fight off Jihads with ease... |

1 are you using rail tank?
I nail them all the time with my blaster soma when im bored. not too hard. Also the fact is they are sneaking up on you meaning that you aren't being cautious with your tank. It really isnt hard to nail an LAV with any turret except the missile.
Also i said secret to MOST not all, i realize some fit them on the sides of their LAV instead.

I'd be find with loosing the RE-Jeep if they also remove the militia tanks from the game as these are their own heinous form of vehicles being abused because they are basically free and require zero skill to be amazingly effective.

Oh nevermind, this isn't about infantry, well then lemme say this, when you face down 4-6 tanks and very good infantry preventing you from getting anything done, do you really have a choice? Calling in another kind of vehicle is pointless because it will be shot down and going infantry AV will probably get you killed because you don't have the proper infantry support to take down the reds that will try to stop u from taking down their vehicles.
That's not coordination it's overwhelming force, and when people face that kind of thing they resort to guerilla warfare and take extreme measures, this may just be an excuse for lack of coordination on the side facing the overwhelming force but what can even 1 squad do against all of that? you need the whole team to band together which at this point is impossible because of the lack of communication.

Really? So the idiot in the MIL tank shouldn't be able to run my PRO ass over? A true noob in a starter fit shouldn't be able to kill ANYTHING?
There is no 'murder taxi' problem, you just need to suck it up. Complaining about an asymmetric tactic in this game shows you don't get it.

Roadkill should be disabled.
But the Gunner of LAV should be more protected.
Some light protection around him.
Right now being gunner means make less damage and be easy to shoot.......
Damage are fine but the gunner is too easy to kill.
It need protection. Some metal parts should be added to LAV to protect the gunner. |
