Is this in anyway viable?
Do they avoid the damage reduction vehicle get against light weapons?
I've tried finishing of a burning lav or two in my time (seems kinda weak) but I was just wondering how many hmgs it would take to pop a tank?

not really worth the bullets unless its a do or die situation and even then unless you have advanced or better hmg and its an armor lav its better to try to find cover. That being said i did manage to take out a rather stupid dropship pilot once xD
Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3
That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

If it's a caldari LAV and you have flux nades and a adv HMG you can take it down with ease, gallente LAV's you better just hack / leave it alone
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

It's enough to really annoy an unhardened dropship. I bet a HMG squad could chew one up pretty quickly if they all focused their fire. |

I've popped plenty of LAVs with an HMG, it's just about impossible to kill one solo if it has full health though. That's why I usually carry standard AV nades.
I'm not fat, I'm just big boned!

No, V get DMG Resist.
You can Kill LAV or Shield Dropship without shield due to the HUGE ROF.

Not as great as it was in Chrome, but still relatively effective.

As does the Heavy in my Sig.
I also miss those days. Just sitting there repping a heavy all day. Making bank chasing them fat sons of b*tches down.

I've taken out Gallente LAVs with my MH-82. You've got to pack AV/flux grenades if you go up against a full health LAV, though.
I've also taken out a drop ship with it, but it was not that effective. HAVs will just shrug off everything. |

If you try to attack without aid of grenades the shields will recharge through your fire for the most part. I don't know why, we do more than enough, but CCP for whatever reason thinks our damage is miniscule and not worth registering.
So if you're going to try HMG vs Vehicle, you hit it with a flux or two first. If you're going to try to be brave and contribute to a tank kill (yes, it is possible) throw down every grenade you have and then run right behind it and shoot into the rear gas tank at point blank range. That's the difference between doing 1% damage and doing 11% damage per shot. You can't solo the tank, but if there are forges or another tank already aggressing him you can certainly contribute if you can maintain fire long enough.
Of course if the tank is moving at all, you're not going to do very much, and he almost certainly will be. The situation is rather rare and silly. |

This isn't about tanks its about hmg effectiveness against vehicles in general. Besides shouldn't you be in an AV thread defending your i win button?
