Of heavies in an LAV with a particle cannon parking in their optimal then switching to the turret and killing you then driving away.....if you are someone who does this......for shame.......that is a no skill coward tactic.

I'm very sick of this also. All of these pathetic fatsuit scrubs running around using RRs is pathetic. They can't fight in a medium suit at all and apparently have very poor aim or tactics so they have to compensate by tanking extra hp. One of the things I hate most at the moment.

i did it all the time with a basic railgun methana and a medium suit.
second the match starts drive straight to the enemy homepoint where the neutral cru is and drive around with a railgun turret like a shark around the socket and hilarity ensues. |

The heavy suit wouldn't be necessary if CCP would put a damn ballistic shield on the damn LAV so the gunner would at least have some kind of protection.
So using the turret on a LAV is a no skill coward tactic? What's next walking while shooting?
So what happens when somebody is driving an LAV and pulls up with a gunner that blows your guts open? Is the driver the no skill coward, or the gunner?

I do drive by kills with my LAV and HMG and the only ones B***** about this is the ones that have been victims. Guess what I am going to keep doing this even if they take away the LAV, I will use an HAV, and if that gets taken away I will use a DS. So what does that mean, get the F*** off my battlefield or out of my way. If you think using an HAV will stop me, it will not. I will strap my LAV with RE's and ram it down your throat. My cost of killing your tank is 0 ISK, that's right I have nothing to lose.

or it's a more effective ground game then yours?
I mean it sounds pretty effective, decent mobility high grade survivability and decent damage out put, and super vulnerable to tanks.
seems decent.
they also have all the standard tank draw backs, i.e limited usefulness based on maps and likely you won't be hacking often. |

Yeah I get killed by heavy drive bys of all sorts, but they are actually fairly rare. If they were more common I would use the easy counter....advanced AV grenade the LAV before the bastard can get out of it.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

There is nothing more satisfying than getting a headshot with a small rail gun turret. And that heavy + lav thing is a valid tactic like having a logi hug you.. unless they get back in the lav right before you're about to kill them, that's being a *****

Particle accelerator + heavy suit is perfectly viable, I mean if he is driving around alone he is completely stationary while on the turret, should be able to tag him. |

Well if you think about it, it's the player bases way of increasing the TTK to make it less COD-ey. I think a good deal of players don't like being killed in less than a quarter of a second in a good suit by someone's rail gun from half the map away.
I love it, btw. I've stopped running skirm and doms in favor of running a rep tool in ambushes. All those fat suits need somebody bring em back up to full armor, and I'm one of several who are cashing in!

Now if only every shot registered instead of every other/3rd.

I took out two heavies camping the corner today. I had a sl-4 assault rail in a support focused logi suit. 1 enhanced dmg mod, the rest armour. I have no proficiency in rails. It was a hard fight though, about 30 seconds to a minute, but I downed them both. In general I find heavies with light weapons annoying, but today, skill and vengeance reign supreme!

Perhaps if you go tank hunting (don't recommend it). It does 30 more damage than the PA, so you're still probably going to 2 shot the same suits but for 50k more a pop (and by 'pop,' I mean tapping a friendly tank).

I lose more LAVs to running into friendlies than enemies killing me. 
You're right though. PC is overkill for infantry but it's awesome for dropships/lavs/shield tanks if you throw a damage mod on there. :D

Congratulations team LAV Research, we finally made people QQ about LAV Rail turrets.
o7
To the OP : Would this thread have been made if the person using this tactic was doing it in a Gunner + Driver setup (2 people)? I guess I'm asking if you're problem is more to do with the power of the railgun turret or the fact that this tactic can be done solo. Regardless, the easiest way to deal with LAVs of any setup on the field is to lay proxies down in an area where you know they'll eventually traverse. Unfortunately neither Swarms nor Forges really do enough damage to the car itself that I wouldn't have more than enough time to just get out of the area
Doing it solo is a more dangerous tactic overall because the chance that you'll be shot out is much higher, I have to wonder how 1.8's introduction of the Cloak is going to effect this tactic's viability.
