The issue I have with jihad jeeps isn't so much that they kill me it's the no risk big reward. BPO LAV+BPO suit you can swap at a supply depot to keep your remote suit = 0 ISK potentially 0 sp (do you need any skills for LP/Aurum remotes). You get a big reward enemy ISK lost has something to do with pay out so your 0 ISK could get you more ISK. It is incredibly easy to do slap some remotes on and crash into a tank. Remove the ability to stick remotes to BPO LAV's and for remotes to do damage if the suit is not equipped then you have the risk of losing thousands of ISK. Then only allow detonation if you hit a certain parts all other spots will have to thick hull. There you have risk, reward and a skill factor.

Tanks are also practically No Risk All Reward.
So I have no problem that one out of their 2 counters is the same...

I am sorry but I am a tanker on this account myself. If you are not paying enough attention to blast that enemy LAV driving towards you then that is your tough luck and perfectly valid. The fact that it costs the enemy little to no isk is a side issue totally.
Honestly I kill more of these guys than those that kill me with this tactic. I would say something like for every 5-10 Jihad Jeeps I kill, 1 gets through or manages to surprise me.
(You can always tell if the LAV was stacked with explosives because you get the +5`s from equipment destruction.) |

I totally disagree. Sure, there are a few rounds where you go 20-0 but most are about engaging other tanks so your troops can secure objectives. You can easily lose a million ISK in a round tanking. This never happens as an infantry. Skill Point payouts tend to be less too.

If only I could run into you with my starter fit while you in full proto instantly and insta kill you. Just because I want a fix to jihad jeeps doesn't mean I don't want a buff to AV and/or a price increase to tanks to be attached to that.

No risk high reward is the backbone of Dust, like every FOTM has been in the past. What were murder taxis? Tac AR? Flaylock?

If those are your feelings then why hate the jihad jeep?
What if I use one instead of the swarms and AV nades that I've invested over 2 million SP in that is similar to a nat fart?

What about the players that are invested into RES and dont have a BPO LAV?...Its logical to switch into a Starter Fit before to save some isk...well for players like me who dont have a isk printing machine.
Also its pretty easy to shoot them before they reach you cause the only viable area of the tank is the front and sides...the back is used like a ramp if you try to ram into that. If your having issues with them get better as a tanker and watch your surroundings instead of just trying to murder everything you see without thought cause you think your are safe in a tank.

Those mad bombers have adapted to the current version of the game, where the only effective AV is of course, unintended. I think it's hilarious. |

I hardly use the easy mode blaster I hit people once with a rail a FK'ing railgun verses jeep and they survive the shot WTF I kill basically all with blaster but I like skill weapons so I use rail and missiles that can't turn fast enough to kill you. I have 47 million sp how from saving ISK and grinding try it some time.

I never said blasters...I have been stopped by tankers that use rail and missiles cause they saw me coming ahead of time or their squad mates told them I was coming..(I mailed some asking how they knew I was coming).....
Im assuming you mean isk not sp....what do you think Im doing when I switch to the Starter Fit? SAVING ISK..so I am trying it |

EDIT: Just because I want this because doesn't mean I don't want AV to be more viable and tank prices to be higher but I don't want to have balanced tanks with imbalanced jihad jeeps.
For the most part, jihad jeeps are for those who don't have av. Its the only thing I can do. Most of us don't have bpos. It costs me roughly 30k a jeep, and is far from fool proof. K have burned through 2-3 of these fits against tankers before getting a kill, sometimes more.
It takes a rail tank 2 shots to kill me, a blaster can kill me in about 5 seconds, infantry can kill me by getting lucky and shooting my remotes.
As all the bank scrubs and proto stompers tell me. Htfu get gud noon.
But no seriously, just try it, its not free and its not easy. You find me another militia or standard fit that can reliably kill a tank I'll do it, took then leave me and my 30k jeep alone.
And there are plenty of tanks that can absorb a jihad jeep. 3 remotes is a crap shoot, only militia scrub tanks get blown by one easily. Standard tanks take at least 4, sometimes 5 or 6 remotes, which requires team work. And if they see you coming and pop hardeners, well I'm going boom for no noticeable effect.

A bpo fit can kill a 200+K suit, so what's your proposed fix for that?

All I hear is blah blah blah..... Cheapest usable Sica will run you about 80k and I guarantee they will mot be in the TOP 5 unless the other team sucks. Then you would be running solo in your 200k suit and dying anyways.

Jihad jeeps STAY. In any case, Explosives need a buff ;)
(BTW there is not risk,because its 100% certain , even if you succeed or not, that you will have 1 more death that affects your K-D ratio...you know, the thing that tankers DONT RISK....)
