DUST Search - Collsion is BS

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.

A freaking LAV takes less damage than a dropship, it just doesn't make a lick of sense. And said LAV can easily ram the DS and drive away, killing it like it was a joke. And I hear you on landing those things, though it's usually way worse with shield DS. Armor isn't too bad, might lose my shield but still maintain my armor. In my shield dropship though, ALL of my shield and part of my armor will disappear if I land just like I would in the armor version. This has been brought up several times, and I do not believe a dev has addressed this as the issue that it is! Tanks - Balancing Turrets
