That's and entirely different issue and yes they can.
5 Boundless RE deal 10554 Explosive damage. Considering a Hardened Gunnlogi negates 40% of the damage and resists naturally 20% it could theoretically survive assuming that the LAV impact and explosive damage does not deplete too much shielding.

I haven't had time to read all the threads about vehicles or the (metric ****tons of information & opinions presented) but I do have some thoughts overall on vehicles.
LAV's -> These are used far more often than not as taxi's to get from point a to point b. I'd really like to see them used more in an infantry support role, with 'standard' or 'attack' variant LAV's being the type of thing that if someone gets on its turret will *shred* any opposing infantry. The Logi LAV I'd like to see have a wide-area triage nanohive type effect (that's limited in duration) or it can focus the nanite stream to repair armor / shields (depending on vehicle type), this allows it to be played in a much bigger 'support' role, either aiding mass infantry pushes or being able to support other vehicles - it should forgo a turret in order to gain these repair functions.
HAV's -> With LAV's being redesigned to terrorize infantry, a HAV should be the thing that terrorizes LAV's (though a HAV with small turrets on it should certainly be quite scary to infantry as well), I don't have any real proposed changes here.
Marauders -> There's been a lot of proposed bonuses tossed around, but I think a simple bonus of 2% increased resistance value to shield/armor hardeners would be a great place to start. It doesn't really mess around with window of opportunity time, it just makes it so that when you activate your hardeners your 'finest moment' is even more gloriously resistant. I'm really worried about having 15% less speed on them, because I know from experience that when playing older builds it was entirely possible to just get chased around the map by AV teams in LAV's, I would opt for significantly reduced RANGE on marauders (-15% to turret ranges) and maybe slower acceleration, but overall the same top speed, In exchange for the slower acceleration they should have much more torque and ability to turn (so -10% acceleration +10% torque).

But that was part of the fun Mina and you know it!
Anywho the 15% mobility penalties puts the shield HAV just under 40 kmph.....but you make a fair point about armour HAV which will already have another 10-15% modification (though this is mitigated by Armour honey Combing). I do however kind of feel like all HAV accelerate and turn a little too quickly.
RE: Range Suggestion.... large blasters gain no benefits for range as they are as their dispersion is down to luck anyway.

I suggest a 10% acceleration penalty and 10% torque but also a speed increase of 10%.

Indeed.
I absolutely loathe JLAV. It's the mark of a **** poor AVer or Tanker that's failing so badly at his role than they cannot remove your from the field without resorting to bad gameplay mechanics.
That or your opponent had not AV capacity due to their own poor decisions and again are using bad mechanics that require little imput for significant output.
Even so that's a wholly separate issue from how Marauders should be balanced. Regular AV needs a change, especially at Prototype level.

That's probably not going to happen other than the fact people want to run throw away fits. It's the same with infantry, basic medium/light/heavy frames are so trash compared to their specialized ones. Sad but true. I wish that would change. Ever since Catmerc introduced me to competitive CS:GO gameplay I always think about fights in terms of the economy. How much does this cost me, How much will winning cost him, what are the chances of winning, etc. I think it will be very interesting to see how people play "Eco-Tanks" Low cost HAV designed to be used to take our superior cost fits. Kind of like my Particle Cannon Sica or 3 man 4.5K DPS Missile tanks. Isn't that kinda what the Militia HAVs do already though? Where should STD tanks fit in?
Wanna know a secret? With bandwidth, you can only drop two remotes with std/sh*t fit scouts, and only 3 remotes with std/sh*t fit logis.

Well...with Rattati's description of the Marauders as "Mammoth Tanks" I broke out my old C&C knowledge.
Now both Marauders should follow the same General principals here, so I looked at the relative HP of the Mammoth MK. III and the GDI MBT-6 Predator tank (both from C&C 3).
Both have the same resistance to damage, making the comparison of their direct HP values very easy
The Mammoth Tank has 11500 HP compared to the Predator's 3400, giving the Mammoth Tank 3.38x (and some change) the HP. (if you all would want me to, I can break out the old C&C TD files, and compare the Medium Tank to the Mammoth Mk. I)
I know that C&C is a completely different game, and a completely different genre of game, but with the description we where given of "Mammoth Tank" I think that using numbers similar to this as a base might be worth looking into. (although, I do think, something with that significant increase in HP should have a much large cost associated, and that the increase in EHP should be measured at Potential Peak Active Module Status, not as a base).
Offensive power-wise (Base) the Mammoth Tank is significantly greater than the Predator Tank, The Mammoth Tank's two cannons each do 500 damage per shot, while the Predators single cannon deals 400 damage per shot, with the same reload time. In addition, the Mammoth Tank as duel Rocket Pods that fire 2 rockets each on a 10.5 second cool-down, dealling 300 damage per rocket, but it is important to note: that both damage types in C&C are very ineffective against infantry (when they even hit) making both the predator and the Mammoth more likely to run infantry over than to actually engage them with their main weapons.
My thoughts on how the Marauders should be are nigh-indestructible walls of vehicles, who provide heavy firepower, and mobile cover. They should be slow, and vulnerable only to concentrated fire, but their firepower itself should be largely irrelevant to the infantry around it...it should be a death box, but a only really deadly to other vehicles...give it a penalty to Large Turret Rotation (Possibly disallow fitting of smaller turrets).
Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper.
I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.

The skill is utterly worthless. 15% efficiency to a 25% gives it 30% at level 5
P.S. proficiency doesn't work on turrets.
Also, Sagaris skill is worth less. Booster effiency is point less when boosters only work 50% of the time and they already give a lot of HP and cooldown is pretty fast too. Come back with better skills.
P.S. STD tanks are like medium/heavy/light frames for infantry. They aren't suppose to be nearly as good as the specialized ones. They can use a different role but in a 1v1 fight, a marauder should almost always beat the STD tank unless he is awful pilot.
Also, since these are suppose to be racial tanks 5/2 would probably work better. We don't want Suryas driving around with 3 damage mods on a particle cannon, 4/3 would work much better for faster agile Enforcers.
