'Innovative tactic'.
Maybe I'll go roadkilling. That's an 'innovative tactic' too.
Can I have my Charybdis back? I used it 'innovatively'.
Or maybe you can just increase my Ishukone Saga's collision damage infinitely like it used to be.
Then I can 'innovatively' crush your protosuit.
It's easy to counter! All you have to do is shoot at it with a swarm launcher!
You know what? I would have no problem with jihad jeeps if they weren't ENTIRELY FREE. They have, for a significant portion of the community, ZERO COST.
I was fine with it when AV was gimped. I welcomed it while AV was gimped. (Eventually.)
Now? AV is fine. I soloed four tanks today with my DAU and EX-11s. It's not hard to kill a tank with AV, any AV.
There is no place for this tactic in the game as it currently stands.

Maybe you should get a tank with 3 turrets instead of just 1. 6 eyes see more then 2 except if you are gallente then you got 4. Then riddle me this: if it takes two people (driver and gunner) to kill a threat, then why can one person kill a tank? I can solo a tank with a pro forge gun, should I be nerfed too? Also, did you really complain that a forge gun can deplete you shields with 4 shots? not kill you, DEPLETE YOUR SHIELDS? Good God man, grow a pair.
Yes.
My EHP-fit Gunnlogi, with resistances to forge guns, can be stripped of shields in a single magazine from an AFG.
With a friend, I'm dead in moments. Without one, surviving is a matter of skill. It's not particularly difficult to land hits on a tank, and AFG's damage is enormous.
And I've noticed recently that I'm not the only one switching to my FG when there are tanks on the field anymore. It takes no more than a minute of time, and that tank is destroyed. Recently I run with a MinMando who carries swarms in his secondary slot. Tanks do not survive. We run ISK-positive. We don't need to use scrub tactics including but not limited to: non-rendering swarms (yes it's still possible if you know how) and Jihad Jeeping.
I'd also like to emphasise that NONE OF OUR COMPLAINTS STEM FROM BEING SOLOED.
Our complaints are specifically about the zero-ISK, high-success rate, zero-skill strategy that is Jihad Jeeping.

Also, we're clones. our lives are expendable, so a suicide jeep seems very fitting, both gameplay-wise and lore-wise...
They're practically free, and exceedingly difficult to counter. This is the inherent problem with them.

As far as LAV's are concerned you need some kind of infantry support as a tanker...period. Tankers should know that it is incredibly difficult to solo outside of the red.
YES! YES WE DO! But hell during this current iteration of HAV we don't have to...... we also have no role.... I wish we did.
Infantry support doesn't mean jack. A JLAV is faster than an HAV, which is faster than infantry. Hell, invest a little money and they're faster than dropships.
Good luck having your assault buddy give you a hand with that.
I just want to emphasise that supporting JLAV is identical to bumper dropships (which I think the community as a whole doesn't like) and murder taxis (especially the HMG kind) (which I know for certain the community hates).
