This guy - first name Stinker...won't say last name - neigh invincible in his proto amarr heavy frame with proto hmg just drives around hops out and mows everything down. If he is in trouble, just hops back in and zooms away. Rinse repeat and racks up over 24/3.
WTF, this has to stop. Why hasn't CCP addressed this issue. You guys on break or what?
There should be SOMETHING implemented, like others have said, a animation - a really damn slow one for heavies - where they are vulnerable. |

I'm very curious what his last name is.... but I suspect I already know.
ok, seriously though... my suit is 207k, lav is 61k. Those 3 deaths cost me 804k isk. how much did you spend on that militia suit of yours? I'm willing to bet that I lost more than you.
I've been trying to rack up some kills for this event because I was unable to play last week. I've also switched to a mouse temporarily and it seems to be very OP.
I'm far from the best player out there, so why aren't you asking CCP to nerf other people? 24/3 is not even that amazing. Nevertheless, it isn't my intention to make anybody feel butthurt. Tell me how much I cost you and I'm happy to send you the isk. My little rampage will be over very soon, so be patient.

I've been very frustrated with small aim adjustments using the DS3, and I'm thinking of trying it with KB/M. Maybe I can dance through a wall of fire like I've seen others do.

I recall in a DUST video that CCP was impressed with the ways people used this mechanic.
Will CCP change it? IDK
Do I want it changed? As a scout I wanna say No but as a guy that likes things to be fair I wanna say Yes. So I'm kinda torn.

I traditionally use the move controller, so compared to that the mouse is pretty nice. I agree though, aim assist or not, the controller is a pain. But everyone has their own preference.

Looking at the final scores, I think that most people aren't very successful with this mechanic. I personally like it when people try to do the same to me. But I guess since I use it, I know how to counter it.

Interesting LAV price, not that expensive in relativity to properly specced LAVs, but still pretty expensive. Do you do other things with your LAV or do you just Murder Taxi? Also, is your LAV militia or standard?

It is a standard LAV. I don't have a turret, if that's what you mean by "other" things. Just a two seater methana. Most of my time is spent chasing Tanks - sometimes the entire match. I also typically throw down 7 proto drop uplinks and 2 nanohives in strategic locations. I don't hack a lot, but if I'm on my logi, I will hack. If there are no tanks, and we are winning, then I drive around looking for reds. I usually finish with less than 10 kills in a match. If I'm running in a squad, then I will transport people if they need it.
I wasn't able to play last week, so now I'm catching up on this event. I've been skipping most of the logi stuff and letting some tanks go if they aren't shooting at me. I'm not typically so aggressive toward infantry.

Was that you that rammed my lav with your tank a little while ago? You stopped and shot a few shots at me after to let me know you tried to team kill me on purpose. I know the name was similar, if not the same. I should have paid more attention. If it was you, we're definitely even lol. If not, I guess it was another fan. It's hard being popular.

i can get that kd in a match without an lav. and with out a proto heavy with hmg. i can do it by staying at one objective closest to my own teams mcc with a std sentinal.
although for the event itself ive been having trouble racking up kills with all the rail rifles out and about. makes mobility an actual issue. |

I have started running a scout suit with plasma cannon, RE's and packed AV nades. Heavies cant resist coming after me lol funny when I blow up the LAV before they get out though. Managed to plasma cannon one out of his LAV before which felt epic. On the flip side there is nothing more embarrassing than when you muck it up completely and end up squashed flat.

OP Chill they have a hard counter. You just gotta be smart.
This is the guy. He got me twice I think, maybe three times. I got him and his LAV twice. I used RE's it's a pretty simple counter to LAVs when they can be as predictable as murder taxis.

BTW what was your fit? I drive Methanas as well but with a railgun so I had no respect for your vehicle sorry. I killed a Heavy once and took his murder Methana and it was PG upgrade, armor plate, and a scanner.
However I know yours had reps, so I'm going to gamble on two enhanced armor repairs or one enhanced and one plate.

They have it already.... it's called AV.
Use AV grenades, plasma cannons, Remote explosives, Any tank, any installation, forge guns, swarm launchers, another heavy....

You're right, of course. RE's are the biggest challenge. The post-mortem detonation frequently gets me. I really hope that's a bug. REs are becoming so common now though, so I am starting to just assume people will have them. I'm adapting, so be careful.

The one that I've used for the last couple of weeks does have reps. It's more like a test lav that is cheap and gets the job done. So far, I like it. I don't want to give the exact build right now, but if you steal it, you will see it.

So heavys should (for some strange reason) not know how to operate an LAV? They have hands to turn the wheel and feet to press the gas and brakes. Its just that assault suits are not walking beef-cakes, so they are not strong enough to control a heavy weapon.

Breach forge gun says "..." well nothing, but it one shots LAV's along with the heavy stupid enough to try driving anywhere near me... Basically what I'm saying is, the HMG guy is making himself an easier target by getting in the jeep, much harder to forge gun him when he's out and bobbing left and right. |

WHO cares about this tactic!?
It's nothing more than KDR padding?
Ask your self this wy don't you c this tactic in PC?
Because it does not help in any way whatsoever to win the battle.
Me personly think it's AWSOME that this heavy ( who ever is doing it ) is runing around in his law insted of protecting a point where he is needed the most

Have you seen a heavy in an LAV? they don't even fit, part of their legs ,backs and sides actually go into the seat

So you think the slowest character in the game should be stuck in the middle of a vast desert with no nanohives or even drop uplinks to get back when he dies? Just sit there and camp an objective? What if my team redlines the other side from the beginning of the match? I would have to huff and puff my fat ass all the way to the other teams redline just for the match to be over by the time I got there. I'm sure that's fun for you, while you shoot my helpless ass from 200 meters away, but that doesn't sound like fun to me.
All I can say is that I hope CCP has enough common sense to ignore most of the complaints that I see on these forums. As others have said, people complain because they don't know how to counter it, so their only hope to win is to get the other side nerfed.
Anyway, my little rampage ended last night. So the OP can go back to playing in the streets with his friends again.

I suggest going after the LAV it is probably easier to kill than his suit, using remote explosives, proxy mines, or even a tank would easily take him out |

I wouldn't call 24/3 invincible, but a proto heavy zooming away in an LAV is a great tactic, they get more protection and mobility. If you're going against one, get AVs, REs, or Proximities, they do the job. This doesn't just apply to LAVs, you need to think more and start countering players with better tactics, that's how you'll win.
