On a dropship it's way to high when colliding with objects. Landing a dropship can take out a fifth of your health.
On an LAV it's SUPER Bull. I was in a match with my LAV buds and we were killing people, as usual. But a couple of friendly tanks got pissed that we were taking kills. They decide to start ramming us. If an LAV is in motion, it's an instakill. One of them rammed me as I was parked and I wasn't instakilled but I started taking damage regardless. So if I don't move I'm doomed and if I do I'm doomed. I tried for a window of opportunity but all I did was tap the R2 to try and turn about and instakill. It's completely and utterly wrong that attempting to drive away from a butthurt teammate destroys your vehicle instantaneously. If you turn a blind corner and OH **** there's a friendly HAV hit the brakes, because you are holding L2 it's instakill.
It's a common tactic. We're in an LAV, we're circling them, shooting them and everything, outmaneuvering their tracking speed, then they just say "**** it" put on the nitro, and back up into us. They take maybe a hundred or so points of damage while we take it in the thousands.
HAVs take hundreds of points of damage while LAVs and DS take it in the thousands? How is that not biased? Even if HAVs took it in the thousands they could survive! It wouldn't be a problem. Either lessen DS and LAV damage or, if CCP does not see an issue with their collision damage for some reason, bump up HAV collision damage to stop butthurt tankers and crappy tactics.
Hotfix Echo NAO!
I'm sorry if it's rant like but it's a criticism on a super broke and biased mechanic.

Honestly, LAVs should be destroyed when being rammed by a tank, but currently it's if an LAV gently nudges a tank it goes up in flames. I agree some fixes should be done.
OK but in my story, my true story, the butthurt teammate rammed us with his tank. I don't think that butthurt v teammate should result in a win for the butthurt.....

Let me rephrase this story from the view of the LAV
I'm going to the objective, minding my own business, when all of the sudden an HAV backs up into us because he got all panicky! He took out 3000 points of HP and only took just over 1000

Wonderful when they get around to that maybe they can fix jihad jeeps.....thats another "crappy tactic" the kind you seem so inclined to get rid off.
However I do like the idea of ramming other HAV to deal damage......
Are you belittling me? I don't speak of jihad jeeps because they are not a problem I have.
In fact I've had Jihad jeeps come after me, in my methana
It's pretty crazy IKR but I can outrun them and have my gunner dispatch them.
But yes, even Jihad Jeeps are a problem because people actually try and use them against other LAVs.
