I use standard and advanced, so 6. It usually does the job so long as they don't have stacked hardeners. I reseve the 3rd slot for BPO uplinks so that I can choose my own sheltered spot to deploy.

Hi All,

Just wondering how many remotes you all use on your jihad jeeps

I have 18, 24 if I use 2 suits.

and this here is the very reason tankers are against the JLAVs I don't mind if you got RE's on the tank but when you can exploit and spam it like that makes it unbalanced no tank could survive that and for that very reason you shouldn't be allowed to do that or least not put that many on it.

you complain tanks are op yet your JLAV is even more OP and it's free if there isn't a more unbalanced tactic in this game than I don't what is.

This post is such hypocritical bullshit. Of course "tankers" are against anything that is a hard counter to their OP metal crutches. Jihad LAV"s are probably the only rock to your scissor right now, but god forbid anything like that is in the game. As an infantry player, there are many many ways I can be countered.. what a ******* failpost this is.

LAV"s are not free.. unless you bought a BPO or merc pack. Remotes aren't free either.

The current state of Militia Tank spam and the imbalance it causes, specifically in ambush matches, is probably the most ridiculous bullshit I've seen since playing this game (including TAC AR's, Flaylock, Fused Core Locus spam, district locking, etc)

But please, continue to tell us how awful it is to lose a tank every now and again to someone willing to suicide themselves and their LAV just to take you off the field for a minute.

right lose around 25-30k isk with almost 100% chance to kill a 500k tank yeah cause that seems so logical I don't care about the mlt tanks the fact is it can 1 shot almost all tanks CCP already said they gonna fix the mlt spam anyway so why not deal with the easy 100% kill chance that barely costs anything and when I said free I mean it's bascily free because you can put your RE's on a LAV with almost nothing on it and change to a free suit and basicly lose almost nothing

I would like to see if triple hardeners would allow me to survive all that.

It would be an 87.41% reduction for Gunnlogis. 2,650 Shields becomes 21,048 EHP so it would be close.

Yet another fail post.

Jihad LAV"s can also be one shotted if they have that many remotes strapped to the front. Literally one shot from your blaster, rail, **** even a bullet will detonate the RE's and bye bye Jihad LAV.

CCP have stated they are "fixing" RE's, they are not supposed to stick to vehicles. Yeah, there you go OP tanker FOTM crybaby... another counter to your metal crutch that is being "fixed".

"almost basically free"? that doesn't make sense, either its free or its not.

Why don't you just not post on the forum for the rest of today, time out for you.

LOL. It's more like 33% if you are a good driver and the tank has no infantry support (some tankers are better drivers than others). I usually go with 7REs - STD & ADV + k2 nanohives so I can make another if my LAV is stolen before I can finish it (this happens about 50% of the time).

Oh and tanks are only hard to counter because of the people exploiting the hardners and most don't even do that most stack dmg mods and if you can't kill a sica thats packed with dmg mods a armor plate with a armor hardner then you really shouldn't play anyway the fact that you guys don't use your heads and some actual tactics is the very reaosn you can't counter the tanks I've seen plenty mow right through mlt tanks with AV hell even some mowed through mine which by no means is weak.

it's amazing how they have no trouble and you do

Most tankers don't use hardeners you say? What ******* game are you playing. where is this "most" statistic you just pulled out of your ass?

I don't Jihad Jeep anymore. Believe it or not, it costs too much.

Loading up my Logisitcs M-1 that's fit with STD, F/45s, and Boundless REs costs a decent amount on its own. Calling in a Baloch just makes it worse since I don't have an LAV BPO. Doing all of this just to have a "chance" at taking out an MLT tank makes me say "Fuck, you guys deal with it!"

You're so bad that you need to use that many? What a lame crutch.

Dang spkr, woulda thought you had a lot more to say than just that failure of a troll post

lets see if my re7ard translator is working today

Spkr said "use less RE's so I have a chance at escaping while dual/triple hardened... peglegged crutch using scrubs"

lulz.

and this here is the very reason tankers are against the JLAVs I don't mind if you got RE's on the tank but when you can exploit and spam it like that makes it unbalanced no tank could survive that and for that very reason you shouldn't be allowed to do that or least not put that many on it.

you complain tanks are op yet your JLAV is even more OP and it's free if there isn't a more unbalanced tactic in this game than I don't what is.

Bullitt's on a roll!

Love ya, big guy.

I put 31 on my LAV last night to test out something. Took out an entire CRU at full health

I am waiting for bullitts response to spkr comment here where he is moaning about flaylocks

Most tankers don't use hardeners you say? What ******* game are you playing. where is this "most" statistic you just pulled out of your ass?

Its amazing that you assume I'm having problems with tanks. They are harder to take down now than pre-1.7 true, and they deserved a buff, but CCP done broke the AV>Vehicle balance pretty bad this build. Most players agree, die hard tankers are soaking in the tears because after a long time being underpowered.. they finally have the lime light they have craved. Congrats I guess. I run in a squad.. when tanks show their lovely heads I switch to AV with some other squad mates and we deal with it.

Yesterday, for whatever god awful reason the squad I was in wanted to run spambush. Nyain san showed up on the enemy team... nuff said. 6 blueberries on our team had zero warpoints. This particular corp, used for example purposes only, is so well known for tank spam their opponents would rather not play than even try.

The reason I make my posts is because I put my shoes on the feet of brand new players. What does this game look like to them? You probably, rather most certainly, don't come off as the type of player who gives two flux about the new player experience so I expect this to go straight over your head.

Ask yourself this question.... When a player is presented with an enemy tank (or 6) on the battlefield, and the most viable option to destroy or counter said tank(s) is to pack RE's onto an LAV (or call in a tank of their own), drive it into the side of the tank and commit suicide just to destroy the tank, what problem does this pose?

From the tankers persepective... it is an overpowered crutch that needs to be removed from the game. God forbid my tank gets one shotted by a kamikaze suicide bomber who was crafty enough to drive his one-hittable bomb through the battlefield and into the side of my metal crutch, even though one shot from anything would have destroyed him before he could have gotten to me. QQ

From the non-tankers perspective... there are no other viable means to deal with said tank, or tank spam.

So the crux of the problem is that there are no other viable means to counter tanks, right? besides advanced/proto AV or calling in your own tank. Go run a militia heavy, militia forge gun.. and let me know how well you have done against tank spam.. or god forbid actual tankers who have skilled into the profession.

This is from the new players perspective.. those who do not have a heavy suit with adv/proto FG (probably the only viable AV weapon.. see lolswarms, lolplasmacannon, lolavnades, lolproximines).

Do you get it now? Probably not.. because even a beta veteran tanker would agree that tanks in their current state, ability to spam the field of battle, recall, low price, etc etc are very far from balanced (which is what you were complaining about in your first post right? balance?)
