With the latest improvements to the field turrets targeting and response most LAVs die almost instantaneously when auto targeted by these things!!! Something needs to be done to either strengthen the LAVs a bit more or, even better, decrease the field turrets accuracy a bit more cause right now most operators aren't even as accurate as those things are by default... or take them back to when they only targeted you without an operator if you fired upon them first (until they lost sight of you for about 2-3 seconds). The point is that any map where an LAV makes since to use does not make much sense to use exclusively because of those field turrets.
My two cents.

a little like the personal shield in the flawed Kyle Maclachlachlan movie, Dune, not in Frank Herberts best scifi book of all time, Dune.
Sweet. Knives do full damage through the gunner's shield, then?

Sentinel will be the de-facto mandatory small turret gunner if you do that, unless they are exempt. Because the suit that's designed to soak up a lot of damage shouldn't be used in a position that's expected to take a lot of damage?
Because doubling their EHP will make them more or less impossible to kill on a gun mount.
My amsent runs 1450-1650 HP on average. My calsents run at minimum 1300.
You saying that doubling those HP values on a turret will be fair?
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Thoughts?

yes even if it does have more health it still takes more damage then the LAV does from small firearms and not to mention that the LAV will still be vulnerable to AV meaning all you have to do is take it out, plus head shots can still take you out fairly quickly and so can just about any other turret, its a small fix for a virtually stationary target that cannot choose where to move to without a good driver the turret operator is basically a sitting duck which is not a problem with tanks and its less of a problem with Drop ships as they cannot get shot from all sides as easily

Also the Dropship guns actually have a forward facing armor plate, which I just wanted to move the armor plate Dropships asset over to the LAV and we'd be done.

It used to be doable.
Not good by any means.
But it was possible.
Back before even logi LAVs were a thing and back when small missiles were LOLWTFBBQ, my buddy indy strizer and I were dedicated LAV drivers and we'd spend entire weeks going back and forth on good, bad, and ugly LAV fits. One of the huge hurdles was that LAVs had to overcome at the time was insta-pop AV nades. It sucked, but man, when we got good games with them, ho boy, it was good.
Honestly, those are probably my best memories of the entire game as I think back on them... 
But yeah, a couple of times we managed to make fits that would kill a tank here and there. So it was technically a thing.
