Sometimes you just can't get up the speed needed to KO that guy you are trying to hit with your LAV for whatever reason. Sometimes you drive your LAV over a hill and are suddenly stuck in an area you can't back out of with 3 guys with AR's pointed right at your head.
I propose a shield discharge option for the driver of LAV's. Discharge your shields to damage all enemies within say 2 -3 meters of your vehicle. You'd only be able to do it if you have at least 1/4 shields and you'd have to wait for your shields to recharge to half before being able to do a second blast.
This would obviously leave you even more exposed than you normally are in an LAV, so there is a down side to make up for this advantage, and the amount of damage can be based on the amount of shields you have remaining. Since shields take a bit to recharge it can't readily be overused, and it will give people a great reason to use LAV's more.
This will also give LAV drivers a chance to get kills more easily instead of having to rely on the turret operator or getting lucky enough to spot an enemy in good ramming position with enough distance to build up speed.
Any thoughts? Did I miss something and this has already been suggested? |

seriously good idea! LAV's in particular need some type of buff cuz they are purely just point farms for heavys at this point in the game
I agree, pretty much all they do right now is put teams who ride in them at risk and make them vulnerable to AV units and people who can shoot them out of their seats. This gives the LAV driver the ability to fight back without making it OP.
EDIT: I also think the passenger should be able to shoot from their seat. Seems useless to sit there and do nothing but be a target. |

WARSLAVEs wrote:i think more of a full recharge though instead of half. Just my input
I could easily live with that. I only said half because vehicle shields charge slow and LAV's shields are pretty weak so any oncoming fire could easily prevent them from reaching full. But if people think full would be best I could certainly live with that. |

I would have to say it would need to be a standard feature, but should be able to be buffed via modules. Perhaps a module that increases range, and perhaps a module that reduces the amount of shields needed. Of course a damage boost module is what you would think of right away, but if the damage is based on how much shields you have remaining then all you would need to do is buff your shields.
However you just gave me a badass idea! Suppose you could equip a bomb module to your LAV and use it for suicide runs! KAMAKAZE LAV'S! You could have high level ones that let you remote detonate it and low level ones that require you to stay in and detonate it by hand! With the remote detonator you could wait for an enemy to hack your LAV and load up people in it, then blow it up! Or you could Kamakaze into a tank to take it out (or deal massive damage if it's got lots of shielding)! Take out field emplacements!
The explosion from that could be calculated by the amount of shields the car had as well. Think about it, shields need energy. The stronger the shields, the more energy required. More energy=stronger boom boom. 
On the other hand you could set it up so that you can attach remote explosives to vehicles so you could do the same thing. Of course with the car bomb the damage would be way higher than a remote explosive. |
