One problem I have with this game is there is no vehicle dedicated to fighting infantry. Tanks can, but according to Rattati they aren't supposed to. Tanks are supposed to be AV, but if there is no vehicle that excels at killing infantry, there is no reason for tanks to be AV.

So let's make LAVs into good infantry killers. A dedicated crew should be hell to infantry, and as it is, they aren't hard at all to counter with swarms or forges. So let's add in a skill that gives LAVs bonuses that improve their AP abilities.

Caldari LAV: 5% reduction in small turret pg/cpu per level, 10% bonus to small missile splash radius per level
Gallente LAV: 5% reduction to small turret pg/cpu per level, 10% bonus to hybrid turret heat buildup per level

This makes LAVs good at killing infantry, and become glass cannons, who can deal out some damage but can't take a lot of punishment. MAkes them more than just a quick transport for heavies.

I like the idea.

Here's an alternative:
Assault LAV with current LAV slots and health as well as with a forward facing turret and with your proposed skills, while we give regular LAVs a buff to health and add more slots to it making it a transport vehicle.

So you're proposing twisted metal In DUST with Rattari and the sociopathic, megalomanic, saddistic Calypso?

Can True Adamance be the Preist ?

And I... I will be Marcus Kane.
