Currently LAV gunning is mainly only possible with small railguns due to these reasons:
-small missiles have only a very tiny blast radius and getting direct hits are very difficult to do
-small blasters have very limited range which requires you to get rather close to the enemy. Which is dangerous for the gunner.
-the LAV shields dont protect the gunner which means he is a easy target to be shot and forces the usage of a heavy suit.
-small blaster camera shake is disturbing aiming
-you need to stop the vehicle or the hitdetection is HORRIBLE which aswell means that your gunner is a easy target.
All these reasons make small railguns the only viable choice for LAV's. Cause with them you can keep range and position the LAV so that your gunner is not getting shot in the head as soon you stop. The closer you get with the LAV to the enemy the more likely it is to die. That is the main reason why allmost nobody uses missiles or blasters on them. It literally is the only viable choice. So what needs to be done is this:
-small blaster less camera shake when firing
-LAV shields should protect the gunner (maybe its possible if you increase the hitbox of the LAV around the back?)
-range buff to small blasters
-unique role bonus for LAV's which gives them 100% more blast radius on small missiles (that would boost them to 5m)
Special role bonuses are possible regardless by skills. The marauders (sagaris/surya) had in the closed beta a 50% damage bonus for all turrets. So instead of damage i want only blast radius bonus on LAV's boosted by 100%.
They say when you die you see a white light which then forms the line of:
"GAME OVER! PLEASE INSERT COIN"

The blaster is good, idk what you're talking about.
Sure, not as good as the rail, but it's still very usable.
It has great damage application (when in range, which isn't that bad honestly), better accuracy and dependability than the rail and missile (on an LAV), and the rotation speed is nice as well, though it probably needs some proficiency skills to be really good.
Only thing I would really change would be the amount of ammo it holds and is in the clip. Other than that it works exactly how I expect it to.
Btw, went 16-0 the other day using only a neutron blaster and LAV. It's loads of fun. :) |

I don't think missile splash is realistically calculated in dust . ..i think if ccp put proper explosion reactions in missiles would be better when fired horizontally. Even large missiles are screwed. In rl if a rocket is shot at the ground by your feet jumping back isn't gunny save you from 100% of the damage. Particles.. and shrapnel plus the cone of effect for an explosion hitting something at a horizontal fireing point would still hit you.

I quite enjoy the small blaster on an LAV... works wonders even against HMG's... & that's only a militia blaster, lol. |
