Luna Vuhrast Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 23	Posted - 2012.09.21 17:26:00 - [1] - Quote I have notice a new arising trend seems like it's been going on since yesterday but it seems like I would jump into a team that consistantly loses because of two of the following reason: You spawn in and notice the oposing team has spawned 12 LAVs this equates to noone on foot and it just wrecks the other team who is looking around like "WTK?" because the LAV's seem indestructible against all point blank shots with the forge gun now. Keep in mind I generally run it because of things like this and have maxed it out along with perfected it yet now it seems even a point blank shot barely scratches it. Toss in all the scout suits the drivers use along with the I win grenade [Thukker] and they are untouchable. Second reason it seems like I am the only one TRYING to run AV support all the while those running logistics are using them for something other than their purpose? Why run logi if you aren't repairing/reviving? Anyone else having this issue recently?
J'Jor Da'Wg KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 648	Posted - 2012.09.21 17:31:00 - [2] - Quote You are having trouble killing LAV's? Are you srs? Or just trolling? Like, I am actually confused. In Skimish it fails because LAV's can't hack the consoles. Its a valid tactic, not an exploit IMO
Luna Vuhrast Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 23	Posted - 2012.09.21 17:35:00 - [3] - Quote Like I said only recently have they been giving me trouble, they weren't at the start of the hotfix. I can still kill them aslong as I see them first but I sense possible chassis upgrades increasing the speed of the vehicle making them as nimble as the scoutsuits hard to hit even at range.
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2012.09.21 17:48:00 - [4] - Quote LAV problems? wtf are you talking about I slay them just fine. Also with the speed upgrades (speed not agility) comming soon these things are almost going to fly straight into thier deaths.
Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 760	Posted - 2012.09.21 17:51:00 - [5] - Quote i have seen a lot more of them the last few days but i just get somewhere high with a proto swarm and farm them for kills.
Forlorn Destrier ZionTCD Legacy Rising 914	Posted - 2012.09.21 18:07:00 - [6] - Quote Not an exploit - it is a valid tactic. Also, I have not problems with killing them.
Knarf Black Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 397	Posted - 2012.09.21 19:42:00 - [7] - Quote I am excited about this. I like swarming LAVs.
Paran Tadec Imperfects Negative-Feedback 902	Posted - 2012.09.21 19:44:00 - [8] - Quote Ah, the consequences of the completely nerfed tanks.
Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 583	Posted - 2012.09.21 19:46:00 - [9] - Quote See I love seeing LAV's, its a free 40-190 points. AV grenading a full LAV to death is like Christmas.
howard sanchez Conspiratus Immortalis 448	Posted - 2012.09.21 19:46:00 - [10] - Quote If you are having trouble killing lav with a forge gun, it may be that there isn't much splash and they are moving enough to avoid most of the dmg

Sees-Too-Much 332	Posted - 2012.09.21 19:48:00 - [11] - Quote I've seen people do a pretty good job dodging swarms with LAVs, and I know pre-nerf you could make an LAV that could survive a couple swarm hits or even a forge hit. Basically LAVs have the capacity to be extremely powerful on open terrain. An all LAV team would be like the Mongols. I'd like to see it.

AV Nades or Swarms or Forge Guns! One hit wonders against LAVs. Maybe 2 for AV Nades. Just throw them on the ground! Double Doink! Exit stage left! Crying Even!

Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 393	Posted - 2012.09.21 20:39:00 - [14] - Quote Swarms > Forge for killing LAVS, IMO
Sylwester Dziewiecki Doomheim 83	Posted - 2012.09.21 20:53:00 - [15] - Quote Maximus Stryker wrote: Swarms > Forge for killing LAVS, IMO Exactly, especially if they are logistics.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 902	Posted - 2012.09.21 20:59:00 - [16] - Quote Yeah, a well kitted logi lav can survive 3+ forge rounds.

Basically LAVs have the capacity to be extremely powerful on open terrain. An all LAV team would be like the Mongols. I'd like to see it. This would be tricky to pull off intentionally, but my swarms frequently miss stopped LAVs that drive off right as the missiles are about to strike. Also, if you are driving towards the swarmer, the missiles will almost always have to pass you and pull a quick 180 to resume the pursuit. This is your best shot for losing them without cover, and I think making a break for higher ground is the best course of action. They're absolute garbage when coming from a lower position than the target (ask anyone who has tried to fight a turret from ground level) and if you get some rough terrain between you and the swarm right as they turn around most of the missiles should clip the dirt and explode harmlessly. Then the next two volleys come by and you're dead anyway...
