LAVALLOIS Nash Qcgold 331	Posted - 2014.12.10 06:48:00 - [1] - Quote True Adamance wrote: Not it was unfair that with less than 100,000 ISK you could make an instant kill magic homing missile that moved at 100kmph and had the on board guidance slightly more intelligent than a raccoon but still enough to take it directly into the hull of its intended target. And with a many "hyuk hyuks" the on board guidance re-spawns to do it all over again........ This is an invalid argument. First of its not "insta kill magic homing missile". If you are that bad of a tanker that the moment someone starts the engine on a J-LAV you consider your death imminent, then maybe you need more practice. Its piloted by a human prone to error but hellbent on sharing some of the pain your tanks been dealing out. Commander Bolt is right when he says the ONLY problem was switching to a free suit. if someone had to keep their mine fit for the suicide run, thats the suit would cost about 40,000. Plus 20,000 for the LAV and thats 60,000ISK; the cost of a base HAV. If someone wants to burn 60,000ISK going after your tank, what difference is it if its a suicide LAV at that cost or a forge fit at that cost or a double swarm commando at that cost. All those fits at that price range could solo demolish a 100,000ISK HAV. My 75K shield HAV could demolish a 100,000ISK tank. The problem with you, and this community at large, is that you all expect everything to be done textbook fashion. This is the way to do that, this is the way to do this, ect. Then when someone comes along and does something you weren't expecting, you seek to invalidate it. It doesnt matter if you like it or not....do you still have the affected tanks? No? they were destroyed. You lost, cased closed. Thats what I say when a proto fit shotguns my milita fit in the back. You got hit and killed by a J-LAV because you weren't paying attention. You had no situational awareness. Its your job as an HAV pilot to have situational awareness and be paying attention. Dont blame the LAV for hitting you, blame yourself for your failure to prevent or stop it. And be glad it wasn't an Imperial owned vehicle you lost due to complacency.

Again you can still do it for free Because you arent saying anything. EXPLAIN how it would be for free. How does that work with bandwidth? True Adamance wrote: I don't seek to invalidate clever gameplay..... but ramming a jeep packed with explosives into a tank is not clever and its generally speaking a poor mechanic IMO. Its an act of desperation. Thats the thing about warfare. Its called the Jihad Jeep, but during WW2 kamikazee pilots did some extensive damage to some ships and forced the U.S. Navy to change its way of doing things to counter the new threat. This is the same thing. An HAV driver might not want to stop farming infantry with an Ion Cannon to chase down and pick off that LAV thats been buzzing around. Its a choice that could prove fatal. When it does, next time he sees a LAV buzzing around, hes going to break off his assault on the infantry to focus on the new threat. Sometimes though, it will just be a regular LAV driving around that will spook a tank. Thats where the strategic depth comes in. It forces tankers to regard all LAVs as a credible threat and change their tactics accordingly.
