Lead Squall Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 54	Posted - 2012.10.14 05:24:00 - [1] - Quote I rode a five second freefall in an LAV in the turret seat from the top of a very tall building. After said fall, not only was the LAV fine and the occupants were fine, we proceeded to drive around on a short rampage. While I admit the entire experience was quite entertaining, there needs to be some downfall after reaching terminal velocity then going to 0 in an LAV. Further, while driving an LAV can be quite the challenge, especially on rough terrain, it needs to be able to roll, which I have never seen it do. Yes, it will be a pain in the neck when it rolls and becomes worthless (much the same as when it gets stuck on a hill and can't move) but it will reduce the effectiveness of the LAV on rough terrain (as well it should). Also, I believe that the drop off of a LAV should not include the top of a building, despite how much fun it is to rain hellfire from the top of a skyscraper.

Realistically, the RDVs should be able to get anywhere on the field that isn't too high for their engines to lift them. That said, driving off the edge of such a spot and surviving the drop seems rather ludicrous. It's not the drop off vehicle that I have a problem with, it's what it's dropping where. It's dropping a military vehicle very precisely, on top of a civilian structure. I know the environment is not destructible, but if it was, in many cases, the LAV would make some serious marks on many of the roofs. Other than that, it just feels cheap. On the top of the highest buildings, the only way to get someone in the turret is to snipe them. I don't know if the people on the ground even know where the shots are coming from. (the missiles really should leave a contrail, for at least a moment). I think someone mentioned in an earlier thread that the drop zone for vehicle should be a wider open area to avoid this. (5 meter radius) think that would be fair.
