So we all know that LAV's LAV's are trying to be off road vehicles when in reality they handle like sports cars. This imo should be changed. But how should they be changed? This question bothered me since I wondered this question a solid 3 years ago (Yes, they have been this bad for THAT long). I think I finally found the answer.
See, there's this game that came out a couple months ago, you probably heard of it, it's called The Crew. Now, you're wondering, "What does a street racing game have to do with off road vehicles?". Well, if you knew anything about The Crew, you would know that isn't the case. For those who don't know, you can customize most vehicles in a wide way to suit your needs in a verity of ground types, including rough terrain (like rocks and dirt, **** even deep powder). Most vehicle types can't really handle these ground types, except two, one in particular that I want them to handle like: Dirt (not it), and Raid (what I'm focusing on).
Raid Spec vehicles handles like a proper off road vehicle should. It tries to stick to the ground, and stays level to the ground, it keeps up speed when gover over small hills and other obstacles, things along that nature. They could have better turning abilities at higher speeds like current LAV's do, but otherwise, they are pretty much better in every way.
Want a example? Here.

No, I'm saying that
1: They need to not lose control over small bumps in the road
2: Yes, that's one of them
3: They shouldn't do flips when flying through the air.
4: They shouldn't simply flip if you turn it hard enough (happens).
Stuff like that.

I could be wrong, might of been my imagination, but if Im right I believe that this change should be reverted, as av is in a realllly good place, maybe op a bit
LAV's have always been ****** in anything but roads.

Bigger wheels don't solve the fact that the mass and suspension is akin to that of a sports car, not a off road vehicle, but bigger wheels would help. I think LAV's in general (model wise) needs a redesign. Everything is too open.

Stuff like that. What about surviving 2 lamp posts at high speed?
Are you asking that we nerf lamp posts again?

Fixed (that S wasn't needed), and more mass to the LAV (they flip too easy), but otherwise, yes.
I'd also like them to not be so open, seeing as it's so easy to shoot people out of them.

Even if they are not intended as off road vehicles they should get a bit more suspension, so that bumps on the road don't flip you over.
It would be cool if the Min LAV was a very bouncy dune buggy. And perhaps the amarr LAV could hover? Then we would have on road and off road LAV's.
It's silly to think that a military vehicle wouldn't be good as a off road vehicle, specifically where's little roads that goes anywhere useful in this game.

I'm still wondering why they went with such a design of a sports car.
