Every game I play be it tank or dropship i am always encountering jihadists. Every. Game. I'm really confused, dropships are so incredibly easy to down now and tanks can be easily destroyed with two people. So why are there even more jihadists? Is av still to hard?

I take it as a complement. They can't even kill me with easy mode av so they have to jihad. Speaks volumes to their skill and my own.

Jihad is a scrub move but it is funny as hell to watch I chuck 5 boundless RE's on my saga with a scanner and a fuel injector. I destroyed 2 gunnlogi's one game with ion cannons LOL

Av isn't really that op with a well fit tank in a squad I was in earlier the tank we were assaulting survived 2 swarmers and my REs. If your running a mil tank you might be kind of easy to kill but at least when I am running mine even when I get killed it is because I didn't take cover soon enough.

Not saying its op, I'm just saying its really easy, especially against dropships. If you have a forge and a swarm tanks are cake, I had an IAFG almost solo my hardened 5300 shield gunni yesterday, only reason he didn't was because he missed the kill shot.

Haven't actually been seeing too much of this myself. Maybe see three or four Jihaad jeepers in the past month or so, and only one or two people have actually tried to ram my dropship, though I don't fly an ADS, so that might be part of it...
Perhaps they're not specced into the usual AV? Or they find the exploding LAV's from hell more entertaining. Plus they're more likely to kill the target.

Even with AV where it is now, jihading is still pretty much a guaranteed tank kill, providing you're not stupid, and the tanker doesn't notice you. Some tankers despise it, but I think it's a valid tactic. (Mainly because it's extremely useful when the reds have 5 tanks and the blues have one... and it's militia.)
Another thing people don't realize is that ADS ramming is still extremely effective. I rarely see it, even since CCP "fixed" ramming. With the grimsnes, you can even survive as the rammer if you turn your hardener on. It's extremely effective against Pythons, especially.
Why use AV when you can just plow into them? Even with swarms, an easy mode weapon that require no skill with aiming, you have to know when and where to engage. (Yet some people think you should just pull out your swarms like a fly swatter, give it a few smacks, and continue with the infantry game.)
So yeah, both AV and ramming/jihading take some skill, it's just that ramming/jihading is a 1HKO.

Couple tips I learned through trial and error:
- A fuel injector really, really helps with building up enough speed to set off the REs, especially when the tank is in a cluttered area filled with obstacles
- 3x standard REs and 3x advanced REs are usually sufficient to kill a tank and not too costly for those situations when you can't spend a couple minutes in front of a supply depot resupplying them. Throw them both on a cheap scout/logi fit and you're set
- Play like a really fast scout on wheels and use the 3rd person view to your advantage cause a stray shot to the REs will set them off and kill you
- If you see hardeners (ESPECIALLY shield hardeners) hit the brakes and try to get away. Come back when they shut down.
- When possible, stalk a tank and wait for it to get distracted shooting at something else before you begin your glorious charge into a fireball of doom

Lol, you just have to make a logi with 3 different typee of remote (std,adv,proto) and you just have to place them on a saga that has speed boosters on and you can easily destroy all kind of tanks. You can also change suits after you place the explosives so you dont pay the isk for the suit. i killed GP MACHINE tank 1 match. he was camping Alpha with his ion canon tank so i was like : this guy is not gonna play like that with me. i kept blowing up his tank over and over untill he ragequit lol. its really funny how easy it is to jihad. I agree it might need to get fixed though. i agree its a scrub move but dont tell me camping an objective with a proto tank while losing isnt what a noob would do. i just hate campers like that.

Look I have maxed python skills and supplementary skills, I have a fully complex fit triple xt python and if a single swarm launcher even at std or adv level starts hitting me I have to leave or loose my ship. If its two swarm launchers I'm dead. They always get the first move as I can never see them. Its really very easy, and requires little in the way of coordination. I find it sad people would rather exploit rather than play the game, especially after all the convincing av guys did to get av to where it is now. You'd think they would use it

I jihad if I'm in a standard DS and an ADS is lingering too much. Otherwise, I like to bump and play "sky whale mating rituals". That usually distracts them from the objectives and infantry. What can I say, my DS character is not my AV character and I want to keep using a DS.

The hilarious thing is if you're good with actual AV you can be more effective faster. The setup time for a JLAV is really only worth it if you're farming ragemail.
I only JLAV when I think it will be funny.
Example: were I to encounter spkr4thedead on the battlefield I would immediately swap to jlav after jlav because his reaction to them is hilarious, not because my forge guns are ineffective.
The more you scream about JLAVs on the forums, the more likely I am to recognize your name and spend the 16k ISK to make my patented "Unicorn" or "Triceratops" pattern JLAVs.
Why?
Because I know it will aggravate you. It already aggravates you, and I want to make that pulsing vein in your forehead pop.
People who don't bother complaining about JLAVs aren't nearly as fun to provoke.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

Lets be honest, Jihad LAV`s and dropship ramming is a powerful tactic. This isn't battlefield where vehicles and clones have no meaning, things cost in this game. The risk vs reward is totally screwed.
However until CCP does something about it, you can bet I'm going to use it. To be honest in a Tank you can save yourself by being observant, running scans etc... and as a dropship pilot you can do similar to negate rammers by being observant.

It just sounds like you people are trying to take the fun out of the game ( also one who uses their mind ) and tailor this game to your sense of liking .

Why take the " Brain Food " out of the game ..?., like there are so many games that cause on to use their minds out here and when one comes along , leave it up the those who play to " dummy down " the play and turn it into another carbon copy of another vanilla boring and bland game .?. then what would be the desire to play this game then and what would help it to stand out from the rest ?
You know that you could go and play World Of Tanks if you want tank action or the multitude of flight simulators that are out there and their great games mind you but this is Dust 514 for the time being and some of us who play this game , like the fact that it keeps one on their toes and there is always something that you have to use your peripherals to watch out for and that's the problem of most is , they don't want to do that .
They want BF , COD .. CARBON COPY of the same bland crap .
Thank goodness CCP , that you just don't listen .

Its never a case of not wanting / no liking people thinking ahead or being ingenious with their gameplay. It is always about risk vs reward and things that are consider overly powerful.
I for one love the fact that dust is different from most modern FPS games. I would hate to see the game be homogenised into a COD clone.

AV is still too crappy to reliably kill a moderately well driven vehicle. Jihad vehicles are a symptom of ineffective AV.
I think its hilarious that people get mad at jihad jeeps when its obvious that the only reason you're upset is that its the only thing that poses any kind of threat. There's one thing that can kill you, so it must be an exploit!

This is an exaggeration. It takes five at most. Three tops if you can get a shot up the tailpipe. The days of ranting about overpowered HAVs have come and gone.
There are only two classes of HAV remaining:
1: challenging kills driven by good players. Not necessarily dangerous to me.
2: hilarious in the ease of destruction. Either a driver is good or they suck.

Jihading Tanks is a speciality because it will kill the tank instead of shoot swarms and harrassing it. That tank will come back with full health and shields. Why not destroy it in one go? Tanks are underpowered and like me, I think it is better to not run tanks. If you do, I'll be there to blow them up with either my undereffective swarms or my jihad jeep if you really get on my bad side. I resort to jihading tanks when they run an ion cannon or particle cannon. That just tells me that you got nothing else to do except be a pain in the butt.
So apparently facing off against Markus Caldrone while he's in his Min proto assault is not a good idea. Lesson Learned.

You're getting killed by Jihads, yup it doesn't do your rep very good if you can't blow up a jeep, lol.
Would you rather get downed by a tower forger? or have an entertaining battle with some jihad jeeps... I know which I have more fun facing. |

If I could draw, I'd have a picture of 6 jeeps going down the center lane of Line Harvest at some tanks, R/E's strapped to the bumper, with Archduke's name over one of them.
Maybe I'd put Scotsman's name over another.

Usually a jihad jeep will get me while I'm preoccupied helping my team, covering my hacker as he takes a point, helping infantry to advance, destroying turrets or redline turrets, engaging hostile tanks, you know tank stuff. I built my tank to be a tank, to be able to take a few hits from another tank or hostile av, that's where tactics come into play. Sometimes my gunner will tell me there is a car when we aren't occupied helping the team in which case I find it and kill it, and sometimes it is a jlav.
I'd much rather fight a tower forge as I have options, I can take a few hits before I go down so I can try and find some cover, or my gunner with his forge gun can get out and counter blap him. I enjoy tactics, jlaving is rather boring in that regaurd. I'd much rather be leading an assault with my tank, providing cover for advancing infantry with my tank rather than playing cat and mouse with an lav. That doesn't interest me.

Busy farming infantry with a large blaster you mean? That's the easy (boring) kill for a Jihad...
You actually just said you'd rather, get out of the tank or run vs a tower forger... So you'd rather not tank against them... Perhaps you should try not tanking against Jihads... Or get out and forge them, lol.
The idea with tanking is the same as everything, you have to keep your eyes open. If you're covering a hacker make sure you are still looking at as much of the road as you can...
You're just another "I don't want to have to work to stay alive" tanker... For gods sake you have a guy ready to jump out with a forge gun, which is just full on scrub mode & the reason there should be a delay on getting out of vehicles.
If you knew anything about Jihad jeeps, you'd find just how much of an upper hand the tanker has... But screw it JAST NERF THAT ****!!! right?
There's way more quick thinking and strategy in the Jihad vs tank battle than the rest of the damn game put together, but no one seems to be able to figure it out.

One guy with swarms can easily prevent a dropship from harrasing your team.

you have to know when to abort and come back later at a different angle.. you can't get so caught up in the excitement that it effects your judgment. if the tank isn't on flat surface it's usually a no go. this goes as advice for tanks also.. if you hang out on the road too you can expect a jihad soon. the best defense a tanker can use is unlevel terrain and do not camp.

Actually the only tank I use is a missile tank because they are so much fun! I would never soil a glorious caldari tank by putting filthy blasters on it. I don't even engage infantry, I leave that to my gunners. I actually said I prefer to fight a tower forge because I usually have a forge gunner in my tank to help and he's a pretty good shot. When I'm in my tank I stay in my tank, or did you even read my post?
I look out for jlavs as much as I can, but I can't look out for my squad and watch behind me at the same time.
I do work to stay alive, every battle. If there is a good forge gunner on the other team then I have to work pretty hard, a skilled enemy tank? Have to work hard to stay alive. A squad? I have to work very hard. I don't know why you think teamwork is "full on scrub mode" but okay, it helps a lot when I'm taking on two or more tanks at the same time. Not to mention having a gunner to handle infantry.
I know alot about jlaving, its pretty damn easy. I tried it out when it was made possible and had a lot but thought it was a bug and was going to be patched like the mlt nos in 1.7. Current jihad tactics, 1. Look on map for target 2. Maneuver behind target 3. Make sure target is on even enough ground 4. Hit nos and ram
That's it. There is more strategy in av than jlaving. Heck there is more strategy in actually using an lav than jlaving. Why don't you come and join me and a dropship squad, no I don't mean we all use dropships, I mean you and three others dropping in on points, securing them and the surrounding area then getting picked up and flown to another one, or reinforcing a point that's being over run, or swapping to av and dropping on a tank. If you really think jlaving is the best dust has to offer in terms of strategic game play you're doing it wrong, horribly wrong.
I fight jlavs, but there seems to be so many when av is in a great place. Its sad when I'm having a very engaging fight against a tank or two and a jlav hits me from behind. Makes vehicle play quite stale and detracts from the strategy.

@ Pvt Numnutz I was not under the impression you tanked?
I always remember you as the Dropship Pilot who I always tried to shoot out of the skies back in FW.
@Derpty Derp
I feels you are generalising the HAV role a bit too much. Any tanker worth his salt is going to score high in a match (they always have even when AV was ungodly powerful and invisible past 50m either WP or Kills) barring when AV makes a strong concerted presence which is infrequently.
However I think you misunderstand why JLAVing is rather reviled by the HAV community. It's and emergent tactic I suppose you could say but its not a good one. Frankly its not good gameplay. To suggest situation awareness to a tanker is like me suggesting infantry remembers to equip a Light Weapon.
We already are. Simple enough however the Jihad Jeep if not undertaken like a "******* idiot" (aka not driving directly at an HAV) will almost always succeed with no counter possible for the HAV nor effort required for the LAV.
Most HAV could care less about losing their HAV in the current climate with HAV being cheap as chips to outfit and deploy (though my most expensive fitting is roughly 750,000+ISK) but would rather die to something "Better" like AV, another HAV, a Remote Scout, etc.
And Depty don't even begin to tell me I'm a "I don't want to have to work to stay alive tanker" there is literally no chance for a tanker to adequately respond to a Jihad Jeep given the way they work as if the damn thing explodes within 10m of your HAV for any reason you will take almost full damage and be instantly destroyed.
However I can appreciate the humour behind JLAV despite not particularly appreciating the tactic. To me it screams either "I'm doing my job so well they are not good enough to stop me conventionally" or that "they are genuinely afraid of my presence on the map" the later being preferred.

Indeed I do, missile tanks are so much fun, I can't quite remember when I decided when to fully skill into tanks but it was sometime after 1.7. I run shield missile tanks with rails for my gunner's, lots and lots of fun!
My proto fit I called 'dakka' and when I got those sexy kaalakiota havs I had to put a black missile launcher on it! (Was really bummed it didn't come with a launcher on it as advertised) Thus the kaalaka dakka was born. I tame them

Because JLAVs are too much dang fun? And they do take some skill to use against a smart tanker.
Standard AV warfare is frankly, too dang boring for my tastes. I much prefer strapping tons of REs onto my LAV, racing into the enemy redline, dodging small arms fire and turret fire, any of which can set off my REs, to smash into a tank or freshly dropped DS. Other LAVs are acceptable targets. The simple fact that a HAV is almost invulnerable to JLAVs by sticking to hilly terrain, or if they keep moving away from the JLAV (or else I'm doing it wrong) makes JLAVs, IMO, a very easy thing to avoid on about half of the maps.
Not just that, but there are these things called Proximity Explosives that are SUPER easy to skill into, and just takes some time to toss out. Granted, I tend to run with a scanner and will most likely see and avoid them, but those are a ridiculously easy and simple JLAV deterrent. I'd probably recommend either a Mass Driver or Flaylock Pistol too. Far too many times I'm arriving as a vehicle is being dropped, and those are super simple things where the splash damage would set off my REs, and kill me.
I had a fun cat and mouse game with a missile tank the other day. He knew I was hunting him, he knew I was hiding behind a hill. He tried to approach me from the south side, I went north, looped around him, and smashed into him in a blaze of glory as he backed up. Granted, it took me three tries before I got him, but dang that was a fun guy to go after.
I will admit, I feel bad sometimes for what I do. I had one game where one fellow kept trying to call in a DS. But whenever he tried, I just happened to be there to ram/flip it over and blow it up, or park under it and set off my REs right as the DS was dropped. I think that happened like, 5 times for that game.
But the main reason? The "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" factor that JLAVs brings is more than enough reason for me. |

I'm really confused, dropships are so incredibly easy to down now and tanks can be easily destroyed with two people. So why are there even more jihadists? Is av still to hard? It's hilarious. I do it for a laugh and I'm a tanker! If anyone gets me with a LAV it's likely because I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. Tho I take special joy hitting Militia tanks with this tactic since 1.8 dropped |

Indeed, there is a certain masochistic pleasure in watching some nut with a Proto turret and mods drive into the wrong neighborhood.
Give the Magsex some love.

Yeah, doesn't RE "jihading" require less SP than maxing a forge gun to maybe take out a militia Soma?
Kidding. but, AV is not THAT easy without points in it...RE's? powerful with little skill..kinda like.. |
