As excited as I am to watch LAV's insta-pop come Echo, I think they should get a speed boost to correspond to their new paper thin-ness. Saga's especially will pop with one swarm volley, or one forge gun blast, or one AV nade, or one proxy, or one flux + Breach MD round, or one sustained Assault HMG burst.
Min Scouts are paper thin, and fast as hell. Should LAV's not be the same?

The crash would make you explode, which would be realistic, but frustrating as hell.
I think we can all agree that twice the speed would be too much. Even a flat 25% buff to both torque and top end would be close to the max.
What will be more frustrating, bumping into things and exploding while attempting to make an escape, or insta-popping from random Merc death glares?

At least one extra racial slot plus more PG/CPU.
They are getting a fitting buff, but everything else about them is getting nerfed to the ground. It will cost 120k to make a survivable LAV now. That's more than a militia HAV.
They would have to buff the fitting buff even more if they add an extra slot.

No one wants to see LAVs in Dust become the motorcycles from Earth Defense Force 2017?

The issue is scrubby heavies in LAVs mowing down infantry yet their vehicles being impervious to small arms fire from light and medium suits along with their ability to jump right back in the vehicle and speed away when the battle is going in the wrong direction for them.
The correct fix, IMO, would be to put some type of "get in" and "get out" animation such that they can't get in and out of vehicles faster than the the Dukes could get in and out of the General Lee.
CCP got the nerf wrong, IMO, but I will wait and see how it turns out before commenting any further. It took me more shots with a proto Swarm to explode a stationary LAV with a gunner who just let me hit him instead of drive off than it does to take down an ADS pilot who tries to escape. Its a bit much, especially considering the BPO LAVs that are all over the place.
It takes 2 Swarm volleys to kill a BPO LAV. You clearly were shooting a properly fitted LAV. BPO LAVs will now pop when you breathe on them, especially Sagas. Sagas now have less HP than an unfitted Heavy suit.
