We went over this when it had beeing discussed for dropships but i see no reason to not allow heavy and light weapons to be used in the passanger seat. LAV's are not that hard to take out and it would make for a decent addition with teamwork AV play. Downsides are as per usual:
-passanger is vulnurable to damage and can be killed
-ammo can become a issue very quickly
-LAV's can be blown up easy
-requires 2 people to make this work (driver+passanger/gunner)
Its not like with a dropship that would have a swarm launcher beein fired from above where you have the issue that you couldnt fight back. If it doesnt work with the passanger seat then you should be given the option to remove the turret and it becomes a empty but selectable plattform.

We should add a self-destruct feature in the passenger seat.

I made a similar thread about this around this time last year. However I believe HMGs would be too powerful to be used.
Not to mention that according to lore it weighs a couple metric tons and that itself could off balance the weight of the LAV and cause it to spin out...
Anyway other than using heavy weapons, I agree this needs to be implemented.

I was also thinking that passengers should be limited to only light weapons and sidearms.
It also simply doesn't fit logic as to how you can hold either of the heavy weapons and shoot it out of the passenger seat, while rifles and sidearms you can easily hold them and shoot outside.

Love it. I mean why cant we stick our hands out the wide open lav and shoot, whenever im a passenger i feel useless. maybe you can only shoot with your sidearm that way swarms, forges,and heavy machine guns don't become a problem. |

no, we should only be able to use our sidearms. Our primary weapon would make this idea op. Think about swarms and forges shooting at tanks our dropships chasing us. they wouldn't stand a chance . not a good idea. |

it wouldnt be easy for heavys to hold up the weapons so unless they add a Cargo truck Av then I guess that would be another downside to being a heavy
But for other suits yeah thats cool |

Worst nightmare will be someone with a ScR, HMG, and rail turret and this happens>
HMG drives.
ScR charges shot.
Rail guy prepares.
HMG guy finds squad traveling to objective.
ScR unloads death upon, say, a logi.
HMG hops out and begins mowing them all down.
Rail guy unleashes his fury upon the dying squad.
Repeat.
Forced Death

ADS's being gunships are already OP (although this would be worse, as it's even better, more balanced), so no. I'm down with sidearms though.
