Sometimes I see a particle cannon tank in the hills and I gib it with my own. (Haha implying there are matches without railgun snipers)
They usually pull a new tank and try to kill me. Usually they fail. (I mean, people who hang out in he hills usually aren't too crash hot at actually driving)
Sometimes they pull another tank for me to kill. (Which is always nice, I like warpoints)
Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they decide they're super-scrubs and pull a Jihad Jeep.
When this happens, even should I be killed I laugh like a hyena, because I know, absolutely and incontrovertibly, that I won that battle completely.
(Note that I'm not suggesting that Jihad Jeeps are inherently a scrub tactic; I have no issues with them while AV is in its current state. The scrubs are the people who have proto turrets and still do it, not for amusement, but because they can't kill me otherwise.)
This has happened three times in the past week (during which I haven't exhausted even half my cap, to show how common this is). One of these times I was using a rail tank; twice it has happened while I was using undeniably UP Large Missile Turrets.
Real men do it with missiles.

Killed someone's Gunnlogi 3 times. Guy makes a Jihad Jeep, tries to ram me. Throw up my hardeners at the last second (little game I like to play) and he doesn't even get me to half shield.
Jihad Jeeps, when they have killed me, have all been because I didn't see them coming. It is a novel tactic, and I gladly endorse keeping it in the game. The only caveat I would have is to limit the amount of RE that can be placed on a vehicle before they start disappearing. Perhaps 3 or 4. Such an ISK efficient tactic should come with limits as to how much damage they can do.
Best PVE idea I've seen.

I love jihad law ( I don't use that tactic ) but I love the fact that you can do it in the game. It ads realism to the game if nothing else. It's so cool when some one gets so pissed about tanks that they go jihad. ( also realistic )
Most fun is when you c a full LAW ( 3 ppl) slam right into a tank blowing everything and everyone to pieces.

against rail tanks the JLAVs are undeniably better than another rail because it is hard to hit them with a cannon while they're moving. On the other hand it is very hard to get a blaster tank with a JLAV but way to easy with a railgun.

On the other hand it is very hard to get a blaster tank with a JLAV but way to easy with a railgun. um, assuming you're a competent tanker you should have no need to resort to tactics like jihad jeeps.
It's essentially a matter of class and a test of skill.
The fact that they lost so dramatically amuses me.
Now, if you have no SP into tanks, that's another matter entirely. But if you pull a decent tank (hereby judged as a fitted Maddy or Gunny running something other than an MLT turret) you've just agreed to fight by a different set of rules.
Winning at all costs, sure, but you do it inside your tank.

Tankers adapt and die with honor.
To be honest You will be scrub for av jihadinians, and they will be scrubs for you. It depend on specific point of view. For me it was fun to Jihad tank by free bpo fit in bpo lav :) It's just soo soo cheap (no isk, time and -1 k/d ratio). Zoom out that cannon so U will know somebody's watching U. And don't You think hardners should block or affect overdrive module? |

I haven't needed a jihad jeep for quite a long time, since tanks are sooooooo much better.
jihads aren't even in the same ******* league...no...not even the same ******* planet as the OP nature of tanks.
seriously I am an AV specialist, and I don't mean that within terms of the gameplay or class, I do what ever it takes to blow up your tank, and trust me ji hads don't even compare, to anti tanking with tanks.
jihad's are functionally the same as a shotgun scout taking on a heavy hmg user, with the one difference that they need to die to do it, and take about 2 minutes to respawn if they fail or to even try the first time( takes awhile to call in and setup the jeep ).
it's a last ditch infantry AV method, it's not some super strong tactic,it's desperation personified.
as for laughing about getting blown up, they are laughing longer and harder because their jeep is free and a tank steam rolling scrubs is nothing special, they are used to ti and just enjoy watching your tanks burn. |

First response to this OP was the correct response
Lorhak, if you can ever get over your personal arrogance long enough to consider the reality of the fight you are in you might realize how incredibly weak your arguments against JLAVs are.

I think I can actually count on just one hand the amount of times I've been blown up by a JLAV. And yet, you clearly recognize the threat and effectiveness of the JLAV tactic. But you have adapted and used skills and options at your disposal to mitigate that threat as much as possible.
Harpya's doin it right. HTFU, stop crying about clones that find a way to blow you up. Stay calm and chive on.

No whine threads.
When I get hit by a Jihad Jeep feel the same way. It means I have incontravertedly done exactly what I was designed to do on the battlefield and my opponent was incapable of destroying me by any other means.
I consider that a fair loss because frankly speaking JLAVers aren't to bright.....whey else would they rush me time and time again only to be blown up by their own remotes 50m from my.

OP: ADJ, (OVERPOWERED): (1) Performs outside of its intended role. Example: rail gun turret which is a more efficent infantry killer than a blaster turret. (2) Having no counter other than itself. Example: A drop ship carrying high altitude bombs that can only be killed by another bomber.

Example: A drop ship carrying high altitude bombs that can only be killed by another bomber. You might also want to add shield rail tanks as an example to #2. The only way to counter a shield rail tank is with another shield rail tank. Good luck destroying it with either missiles or a blaster (though I'm against giving blasters much AV capabilities). Even still, a blaster tank should be able to wear down a railgun tank by dancing around it long enough.

I destroy shield rails with a blaster all the time.
That's not to say they arent essentially my hard counter but most rail tankers either snipe from the redline or are stupid enough to come to me.
If they stay redlined I don't need my HAV and recall.
If they come to me 1 of two things happens
I die quickly.
Or they die embarrassingly.

Fundamentally all aspect of Dust from Tanking to sniping and back to AVing are the same so you are making a statement logically equivalent to "I am also a ....".
All require sound rationalising of situation, aim, positioning, correct module and weapon selection.

Woah I am so confused as to where this thread went.
I was just gloating about scrub tankers who have particle cannons but no skills.
IDC about jihad jeeps, not when AV is in its current state. But it does amuse me that these people to whom I refer are unable to kill me with their vehicles (or have no faith in their ability to do so) and use an infantry tactic instead.
Real men do it with missiles.

Let's see, some STD Soma tanker caused real problems on a DOM, so I decided to deal with him with a militia Soma. We ended in a stalemate; neither of us could kill the other without inherent risk.
We departed, me making my way to the inner complex to reinforce a squadmate tanker countertanking a railgun. Then a JLAV comes from behind and dispatches me. It was the stalemate tanker.
He sent me gloat mail afterwards; I dismissed it saying that he had no guts to take ME out with a STD tank when I only had MILITIA.
Now I do approve of JLAV because of the uselessness of traditional AV; I have used JLAV countless times. Though when a self-proclaimed tanker can't do his job (tank vs tank) and he would rather play an easier way out, I award him no mancard. |

I saw no evidence from the OP, seems like complete opinion to me.
Tanks are too OP right now with no balance on the horizon, at least Jihad LAVS give an actual counter. Yes HAVs are scrub right now, they are complete easy mode since AV was nerfed into near uselessness.
I find it funny that tankers complain about people hoping into JLAVS but they can't be bothered to hop out of the tank. |

Mortedeamor wrote:was tanking yesterday had 1 failed jihad attempt immediately i recalled my proto maddy and called a soma..nine failed jihad attempts later we won For me, I just stay in my proto Gunnlogi with the mindset of "How many rounds will I survive?" I usually end up destroying the JLAV a few more times and then they simply give up. There was one game where this one person kept trying to JLAV me the whole game, but I'd always get him.
I think I'm honestly going to miss JLAVs. They are a true test to a pilot's battlefield awareness. I've only been blown up several times, and I felt no rage. Even if there was some rage, it was just momentarily. Getting soloed in one clip by proto AV pre 1.7 would've made me rage a lot more.
There was even this one JLAV which I ended up helping in blowing me up. I managed to get a lucky missile hit on the driver and killed him out of the seat and the LAV rolled to a stop right in front of me. I decided to blow it up on the spot, but unbeknownst to me, I ended up blowing up a JLAV right in front of me which made me blow up in turn haha!
Oh and there was another JLAV that circled me multiple times before blowing me up. Initially, it came towards me dead on, but appeared to swerve at the last moment and avoided me. I thought "OK, must be some terrible driver that doesn't want to be blown up." I only thought this even more as he circled me as close as possible and I thought that he was avoiding my missile turret so he wouldn't die. Then he managed to get just the right speed and tapped his corner into me and boom!

HAVs are a scrub tactic. See now thats just plain illogical. I see JLAV as breaking of immersion but not OP or scrubby, just plain desperate. HAV are not a scrub tactic. HAV arent even a tactic, they are a unit, and an aspect of a tactic. Fundamentally all aspect of Dust from Tanking to sniping and back to AVing are the same so you are making a statement logically equivalent to "I am also a ....". All require sound rationalising of situation, aim, positioning, correct module and weapon selection. It's sarcasm.

Jihad Jeeps, when they have killed me, have all been because I didn't see them coming. It is a novel tactic, and I gladly endorse keeping it in the game. The only caveat I would have is to limit the amount of RE that can be placed on a vehicle before they start disappearing. Perhaps 3 or 4. Such an ISK efficient tactic should come with limits as to how much damage they can do.
If the simple Sound priority and proximity would make sense in DUST 514 for anything other then weapon sounds...
So say you could hear a LAV with full engine whined at a reasonable distance.... Yet a dropship will take over all sound priority 500m in the air and away from you as the LAV is 100m Away....
Footsteps have this problem... They just get drowned out by sounds that have more priority... devoid of proximity to where you actually are. |

ISK efficient tactic should do less damage....bwahahaha says the guy in the red line with a rail tank....bwhahahaha. At least a JLAV has to cross the battlefield.
We can pickle that.

On the other hand it is very hard to get a blaster tank with a JLAV but way to easy with a railgun. Have you ever tried coming at me in one of those when I'm using a rail? No? Then it's not easy. This why you sent me hatemail calling me a crutch user when I successfully Jihaded you? |
