I disagree, because LAV's can be used quite effectively if you plan ahead.
You don't have to stop (unless you're switching to the gunners seat or on rough terrain) just slowing down to a steady crawl will leave the turret accurate enough to take a kill.
Even when stopping, the thing moves so damn fast you can escape just about anything (other than a crap ton of av ambushing you when you get them really angry.)
Small blasters are absolutely bad ass, you can setup a gunner suit (sentinel with a very cheap weapon and lots of hp) park up next to a HMG and have time to watch the tear roll down his cheek as he realises he's not invincible.
Small rails have so much range, you shouldn't be shot by anything other than a forge or sniper when using one.
Missiles... Well they're for dropships, because your gunner is aiming down with it, they will likely blow up your own jeep.
LAV's are used to blow up other LAV's all the time. Against dropships you can use the missiles to knock them off balance so they struggling to hit you, while you move between reloads. Taking on tanks is suicide, unless the tanker is stupid... Like really stupid, or you scare them into thinking you've got explosives on the front and they run away. |

They're like this all the time... It's all down to how you use them.

I wasn't trying to write-off the small rails. But if you shoot a dropship with those, their aim is unaffected and well... max 4 shots with good aim and your dropsuit gives way. But with missiles, the likelihood of being hit (especially when you get to low hp and swap to the drivers seat) is greatly reduced.
Going by the 'the best offence is a good defence' because you can't do anything when you're dead. |

i would actually argue for a lowering of EHP
Pretty sure you can 1 shot LAV's with several weapons... Not to mention proto av grenades do a good number on them.
If you lower the hp to the point that shooting the LAV is a better option than shooting the guys sitting in it, there's something wrong. |
