DUST Search - saga shield petition

This is another itchy (but not serious issue to get worked up about) example of a device in Dust being designed to operate in a way that is boldly different from what fps players conventionally use this "type" for.
The LAV is not the classic fps-jeep in our other games. It's NOT intended to be an engagement-vehicle like an HAV or DS.

It was intended (still is...) to use SPEED to run a arc-course around one side of the map and still reach a destination faster than it would take a foot player who's running a straight path to the target. The speed is what's supposed to enable it to AVIOD getting a hit (something the HAV can't do, if it tried traveling to the target), and speed again is supposed to enable it to ESCAPE more effectively (than a DS could when it comes under attack).

But that's all. NO front-door combat-jeep antics. NO real assault intentions (at least not all by itself, alone).

In the earlier months of game release, players seemed to understand and use the LAV superbly---and there were a good handful of interesting vehicle mods that were useless on large vehicles, but seemed tailor-made for use on LAVs (by giving them the essential 10% or 15% ehp or velocity boost to survive the incidental splash damage from some shnook enemy player who thought she could score a direct hit. But NO Lav -driver back then ever drove carelessly enough right down main-streets to get a full-load of pie in their face. (Not the way we see today's players tending to drive them...)

The Devs are still trying to get that idea into our minds, by referring to this vehicle with "Recon" terminology in their descriptions and Loadout variants.

The Baloch is the one that's more willing to trade SOME of its speed for a tad more safety, but... the object with LAVs is "stay off of Main St and Hollywood Blvd---you're supposed to skirt the map and arc in on your target so quickly from a side-alley that Sheriff Dobey couldn't bring his guns on you quick enough.

You cannot take a single hit from any kinda Av, now before you start saying why are you going around In a unfitted lav ba. The simply answer I don't because it is just plain suicide. Now to compete with Amor based we need more shield, its that simple I'm not asking for a miracle just some balancing Maybe something like 1200sh 350am Do you agree?

YouTube!

Vulpes Dolosus Fatal Absolution 3	Posted - 2015.09.21 19:45:00 - [8] - Quote Lol at people defending the current LAVs. These are probably the same numbskulls that petitioned to get them nerfed so hard because a heavy stepped out and touched them inappropriately and they were too bitter to consider using a swarm or much less AV grenades to kill it. LAVs are a joke now. There's no point to fitting them at all, even the Saga II. There are literally no combat capable fits and they're essentially a wasted asset. Of course I don't want to bring back the days of LLAVs with tank-like ehp, but to say LAVs are 'fine' is asinine. To appease everyone, I'd suggest bringing back Scout LAVs, but make them more combat ready: more health, weapon bonuses (turret rotation speed, range/missile velocity), and their old acceleration bonuses. This way, there are expensive usable light ATTACK vehicles, not disposable heavy taxis. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

My vehicle character can barely fit any buffer on a LAV, I think LAVs need a small buff but not the saga-II Wanna play eve?

What he's saying is when you put a mlt baloch next to a mlt saga the stats aren't balanced at all. An mlt armor lav can take at least 1 mlt plc hit. A shield lav cant even take 1 hit without instantly dying. At least buff the shield so they can survive 1 unskilled mlt plasma cannon shot.
