Sicerly Yaw Quantum times 142	Posted - 2015.05.09 17:55:00 - [1] - Quote should be more viable now with the extra slot? anyone tried this with success? what are some fits you use? If a assault dropship can take out a tank fairly fast with proto small turret then I figure an LAV can too

You got some luck jumping out and throwing grenades and using your AV weapon of choice but the LAV is paper thin even with the extra fitting capability. Can put armor plates and shield extenders on it with decent skills in either but it's not really going to help much. I'm not sure, but I don't think LAVs have passive armor repair, so that's another consideration to take into account. They're just not worth exhausting ISK on for something so fragile and prone to explosions and you're likely going to lose more from losing an expensive suit while riding in it. But, yanno, they're not designed to be viable. You guys are like a broken record with this "CPM material" business xD Let it go
