I don't have an issue with these people because I'm not a dumbass.
If I'm running a 600 ehp suit it's a scout, and if I'm a scout I have a shotgun and a cloak.
However, I can counter these players easily in any suit.
Call in a LAV
Make sure to get on the opposite side of the vehicle that they will be jumping out from
Quickly run towards their LAV in order to make sure you are as far away from the player as possible.
Try and distract them by shooting over the LAV as they try and circle around (the etra speed you have makes this easy
Jump in your own LAV when it has been called in.
The other tactic is to be a badass and make them have to reload while also applying DPS to them the whole time, then if they try and run away you always have your own LAV to get out of there as soon as possible.
Don't have a LAV to call in? Use cover and speed
Stuck in the middle of a field? Don't stand in the middle of a field.
At an objective by yourself? Use your own burst HMG or shotgun or remotes

Shotgun scouts can appear from cloak and one-shot a 600 ehp suit with a shotgun. I don't see how this tactic is any different.
At least heavies are in a loud car that can be seen from miles away and can be easily countered/dealt with.
Heck, you can run away from a heavy in a LAV easier than you can a shotgun scout.
You can even hide from a heavy in a LAV. shotgun scouts can passively scan you no matter where you hide.
I would rather have some sort of animation for getting in/out of the vehicle but that's not happening. Even a 2-3 second delay that you have to hold the button would work to prevent pilots from jumping out of their vehicles just before they are destroyed.
That said, I don't encourage or defend this tactic, I'm just saying that I have never had an issue countering this tactic no matter what suit I'm in...and don't understand why so many people seem to have such a hard time dealing with it. I have more issues with rail rifles, thales, proto shotguns, large railguns, remotes, and being run over than I do with the rare HMG/LAV combo.
