Both LAVs unfit are killable by 2 AV grenades.
LAI DAI packed AV 'nades: 1563.75 damage X 2 = 3,127.50
Methana: 3100 ehp
Saga: 2100 eHP
Just saying. I don't mind making survivable LAVs out of reach of players who haven't specced into vehicle modules. It will certainly be the final death of the Jihad Jeep.
But if LAV gunners get extra protection, then my dropship gunners should get extra protection as well.

They are usefull. Two ADVEXO 11 will kill sagas, and with the bonus to armor hurt methanas very badly.
You cant solo a LAV by chucking 2 std grenade at it, but in a AV fit, one shot and a couple tosses that LAV is toast. If you're in a heavy suit two AV nades and a few rounds will finish off any LAV.
What i like is forcing people to fit a LAV properly, and giving them some value. Thats how i take care of all of my LAVs. Looking at the new base tank hull stats, current LAVs will have comparable base eHP. LAV ehp naturally has to go down as well.
But i also don't think unfit LAVs are in and of themselves an issue. There's no real way to tell if that murder taxi is fit or not, they move too erratically to spend time id'ing the eHP, the way you can by pointing a weapon at a tank or a dropship. They also tend to blow up very fast.
all, in all, i'm behind what you are proposing. Just talking the finer points as to what needs to be adressed more. Encourage a good fit, keep LAV in line with new tank proposals, but not have it be balanced vs AV grenades.
