Extend LAV shielding (But not armour) To protect the occupants, as it is now people are shot out of their LAVs far sooner than the LAV is actually destroyed. |

Current LAV equivalents can have full enclosure with turrets being operated by remote. Having a guy stand in the back exposed is the tech of some dude in Africa working as a hired gun by some warlord. |

I was going to make a thread about this myself. The shields shield the vehicle so why not the passengers? It doesn't make sense to have the occupants sitting ON the shield instead of UNDER it. This simple tweak already given to HAVs would make LAVs a legitimate vehicle tree to pursue, and the logistics variants A LOT more logical/legitimate; seeing as last I checked using the logistics function required standing still to aim properly. (Standing still meaning you're as good as dead if anyone happens to be nearby)
And if armour heavy Gallante(?) ships could simply HAVE ARMOUR IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS, that'd be right swell. |

I wouldn't mind if LAVs were replaced with something that had fully enclosed passenger/driver compartments. It really is such a huge vulnerability that the gunner and even driver can be shot out of the vehicle. |

Fun fact: you can hit the occupants of a dropship, too. Except the pilot. I've had my gunners killed by the splash damage from railgun fire a couple times. |

I really enjoy getting kills on dropship gunners. It's quite cinematic.
On topic: It would be great if the passenger could shoot or heal. Currently the only reason to have 3 people in an Lav is to replace a dead gunner, or have a guy hack and jump back in. With this in mind we'd have to at least keep the passenger side open.
There should be a fully enclosed LAV though. Perhaps make one like an APC that holds up to 6 people. |
