JLAVs are AV. That said, the other methods of AV are slightly more useful than they used to be, but tanks can still cut and run while spamming hardeners.

How is JLAVing immersion breaking? It's a realistic tactic. If anything, if increases immersion. "Most players" use BPOs? Most players weren't around when BPOs were available, let alone came into possession of them. Very few players have BPOs, and not all of them use them for JLAVing. The ones that do are a tiny fraction of a minority, and cannot be used to make an argument.

Well every player may not have BPO's but every player certainly has Blue Print suits and to your statement "cannot be used to make an argument." well almost every player I've ever been JLAV'D by was in a Blue Print suit whether it be a BPO suit so the argument there is valid the price of the LAV is not high either it would be only 50,000 ISK or less per JLAV depending on if fuel injectors are used.

Did you know an IAFG can pop most tanks in a single clip immobilization would be OP as F*ck. It can only do that if the driver is a complete mongaloid who can't mow down/run over the heavy shooting at them, has no infantry support, and they don't run away and spam hardeners. No one just sits still and lets a forge gunner lay into them.

Who said that you had to blow it up? Get good and kill it before it runs, or quit yer bitchin. Get good and kill the JLAV before it kills you, get on uneven terrain where it can't pick up enough speed, or quit YER bitchin.

TheEnd762 SVER True Blood Dark Taboo 549	Posted - 2014.07.22 08:34:00 - [9] - Quote The idiotic "JLAVing takes 0 skill" argument has already been nullified several times. Persisting to bring it up at this point is just waving a flag of ignorance. Just because you don't like something (whether it be JLAVing, sniping, cloak-shotgunning, RE-tossing, etc) doesn't mean it doesn't take skill. I've seen plenty of tankers (actual, you know, GOOD ones) take out 4+ JLAVs without infantry support. None of them are here crying about removing JLAVs or dispersion or it being sooo hard to have situational awareness. Because they DO have skill. They adapted, just like the players who came up with the JLAV.
