Here's some reasons why I don't bring out my Saga.

Collision damage. It's not fun to come around a corner and apply full brakes, only to tap a tank and blow up. Nor is it fun to have a friendly tank reverse into you and blow you up either...

Blaster tanks (especially Ion Cannons) always destroy my Saga. Even if I zoom past them, they can turn around fast enough to finish me off and I can't get out of their range fast enough.

Blueberries. It's all fun to drive my Saga by myself and hop into my particle accelerator on the back to snipe some people or to help destroy an enemy tank. But I can't have that fun if a blueberry hops into the passenger seat or jumps into the turret, because then I can't do either without the blueberry driving off and killing the both of us.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't use LAVs the traditional way due to reasons like this. However, these reasons don't apply to JLAVs. Collision damage is perhaps the only reason they work. The blaster tank will either get destroyed or the JLAV gets destroyed at no cost (whereas my Saga costs almost 100k). And you shouldn't give two ****s about a blueberry in your JLAV.

They handle worse than the vehicles in Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

After the vehicle slot nerf I lost all faith in em'

Seriously why does nobody uses them properly these days? I for myself like to drive around with a buddy (both forgegun suits) and shot people with small railguns. Its such a fun thing to do and its effective cause tons of people underestimate them. Another thing is that the driver (me) and my gunner are both using forgeguns and we can screw everything up be it lav's, tanks or dropships. Espacially tanks like to chase a LAV until it drives around a corner and both forgegunners are waiting for it to turn around the corner.

ill share my LAV fit:
-methana
-60mm basic armor plate
-complex light repper
-militia fuel injector
-20GJ particle accelerator (advanced small rail)

its really fun to play like this regardless what game mode it is. On ambush OMS i like to do the AV patrol and screw tanks up when they are beeing deployed. On objective type matches i like to do infantry support fire (heavys die after 3 hits) and aswell AV role at the same time. one thing however is a must have and that is small railgun proficency up to 3 to get decnet rotation speed. Another plus for LAV's is that they can use cover unlike dropships while still beeing quick. That and that my LAV fit costs like 80k a pop which is much cheaper then a fully fitted ADS.

M primary reasons for not running an LAV.


#1. Small Blasters Suck

#2. Blueberries are always stealing or being useless in my LAV.

#3. Who the **** designed this thing. It doesn't look like it's made for war they both look like a damned sports car. I hope they get a remodel in Legion.
