All I have to say is - WTF did CCP do to the burst HMG? One of those LAV heavies drove up to me yesterday, jumped out with his burst HMG an killed my 600hp suit (granted 600 hp is not huge) in like a nano second. Brrrrrrmp Barrmmp DEAD.

Ryme Intrinseca Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 1714	Posted - 2014.09.03 11:04:00 - [10] - Quote It's not just the HMG LAV thing, maps are totally infested with hit and run LAV drivers now, who just try to run people over all game. It's an absolutely ridiculous thing to have in an FPS. I think the solution is to make LAVs vulnerable to small arms fire. Half a clip of AR should be sufficient put an LAV into the 'on fire, jump out now or die' stage.

I guess 100% damage vs. LAV would be okay so it would be just about possible to take down an LAV in an AR clip. (Unfitted Saga=2100HP, so about the same as an AR clip with high proficiency.) Basically just remove the present resistance and shield regen under fire.

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?

You shouldn't have to do a specific counter to such scrubiness, that then makes it a legitimate tactic. Running the enemy over in a jeep is not and never has been a widespread battlefield tactic, for the simple reason that you'd instantly get chewed up by small arms fire. It's only Dust's crazy logic that means a super fast, super light, super cheap vehicle can circle squads of infantry indefinitely without serious risk of injury unless they happened to bring full blown anti-tank weapons.
Michael Arck 5385	Posted - 2014.09.03 17:22:00 - [28] - Quote Its weird how no one is really making that much noise about the burst compared to the pre nerf of standard HMG, there were 3 to 5 threads complaining about it. But havent we been here before? A nerf happens, mercs go to something else and then that new option is recognized as being OP. Whats great about the burst is wrecking confidence. Watching a red stand there thinking my burst fire will give him enough time to kill and then boom, he is dead. I just hope the heavies dont return to being a joke fit. Thats all I ask.

Boot Booter Pure Evil. 897	Posted - 2014.09.03 19:49:00 - [32] - Quote Just pack some AV grenades. I know it's a pain but some good AV nades will take out the LAV, and usually the heavy inside it panics or dies when his precious car blows up. I have also once sneakily hacked a heavies LAV then subsequently ran him over. Not really a viable tactic but it was pretty funny. What happened to the repair tool glow? Why won't CCP answer? Conspiracy?

If the goal is to vent then all the more power to you. I do it a lot when dealing with Dust 514. Rest assured something is going to be done about direct fire high ROF weapons with big-damage-short-timed-interval-damage in Hotfix Delta. The Burst HMG, Scrambler Rifle, and even Assault SMGs are all on the chopping block. If Burst HMGs pulling Murder Taxi 1.0 keep ruining the game just take a two or three week vacation from the game.

I know it's a pain but some good AV nades will take out the LAV, and usually the heavy inside it panics or dies when his precious car blows up. I have also once sneakily hacked a heavies LAV then subsequently ran him over. Not really a viable tactic but it was pretty funny. I used to carry Packed AV Grenades 24/7 on my Caldari Assault back in the day. LAVs didn't dare challenge me... Now I carry 2, and LAVs don't die. :( Just an idea, but maybe all small arms should take the path of the Nova Knives and have 1/2 of their usual efficiency on vehicles. Of course, the vehicle shield recharge should never pause until they're depleted to prevent HMGs or a team of ARs killing tanks.

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. 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

GM Archduke Game Masters C C P Alliance 382	Posted - 2014.09.04 02:09:00 - [39] - Quote A close-quarters melee weapon, the nova knife is as deadly a weapon as anything on the battlefield. Its name derives from the heated plasma edge of the blade GÇô formed by a thermic igniter and linear gravity condenser GÇô that, in skilled hands, can be used to carve through even the thickest dropsuit armor. It's so much more than just a knife. Think gravity hammer, or monomolecular wire...don't just assume it's a kitchen knife. GM Archduke CCP Customer Support \| EVE Online \| DUST 514
