My methana (armor LAV, if you didn't know) is fitted with an active scanner, to detect people trying to sneak around obstacles.
My methana is fitted with a prototype stabilized blaster, which kills heavies and nomnoms other infantry.
My methana can survive a direct shot (sometimes 2) from a forge gun.
But still-
My methana almost never gets a gunner (especially a gunner who knows what they're doing- only 1 person in my corp will both gun for me, and is competent)), so my methana's true potential is yet to be seen.
Why? people assume it's a starter fit baloch.
We need a way to easily distinguish between LAV tiers, but for now, READ!
If the LAV is labeled as "MLT", that means it's militia, and as you suspect, is a deathtrap.
HOWEVER if the LAV is labeled as "STD" that means it's standard and therefor capable of holding its own in combat (it doesn't mean it's infected"
I don't know what logistics LAVs are labeled as, but it doesn't really matter since nobody bothers to get the skills to use them, and they're meant for supporting infantry, not to be used as an assault vehicle.

i love my methana....it has 1001 hp and 2300 armor, i think, whatever it is...its a tough lil lav.....unfortunately, im always alone in it too....i'll just drive around and drop nanohives where the action is....i'll use it to provide cover for my team and i totally love pulling the e-brake and sliding cool style into where the action is and quickly getting on my missile launcher...pew pew pew...jump back in the drivers seat and do it all over again...... |

The particular one isn't on very often when I am, and the rest are more focused on infantry combat. (They're also convinced somehow, despite how I've driven sagas before the recent missile nerf, that all LAVs are deathtraps)
Another thing my methana does-
My methana crushes reds... WITHOUT TRYING |

Oh I don't doubt that it does. My forge gun also crushes without trying. I wouldn't mind going up against ya  |

I mean literally, I was trying to pull out of a firefight before I got shot out of the driver's seat, and I clipped a red that got too close without really noticing them.
The thing I DO try to crush though, are forge gunners. I can almost see the  expression when their forge shot gets me to about half armor, and I run them over. |

I love to see that I'm not the only one that does all of this. |

Since there's someone else here that uses gallente LAVs-
Do those special, more expensive (but slightly weaker) armor plates slow down your LAV? It seems they don't affect the speed of mine. |

i have armor plates installed and i didnt notice any slow down....if there is any its worth having the extra cushion........
on a side note....when my lav is low on shield and armor and is on fire......i kamikaze the LAV to enemy infantry or a HAV......thats the way to go......just make sure to bail out tho......... |

Watch out- exploding vehicles only really damage people on your own team (really really stupid)
There was one time where the HAV my methana was using as cover was blown up, and the explosion took out my LAV.
Countless other times, I jumped out of cheaper LAVs when they were about to explode; when they do explode, you'll still die while any reds in the blast radius don't even lose shields. |

All LAVs have the same weakness -- when the first swarm salvo hits you, the second one is already in the air. The only difference between a militia LAV and standard LAV is that you will know that your LAV is about to be blown up in 2 seconds so you have a chance to bail out. |

Unlike dropships, LAVs have a chance to avoid getting hit after the first missile hits them.
If you're in an area with lots of cover- like the center of manus peak, the northern part of line harvest, and everywhere in ashland, then you'll have no problem avoiding missiles by making a sharp turn around some cover.
With my active scanner (15 seconds of scanning, with a 3 second cooldown), I can also make sure I don't go by another waiting AVer |

I love using my Methana. Last night I took a forge gun from point blank and ran over the guy who shot it. |

I even had a time where I was supporting the tank on my team.
There was a nest of AVers focusing on shooting the tank; I snuck up behind them, killed everyone squishier than a heavy, and got the heavies to a point the tank's missiles mopped them up. |

I also love the Methana. It takes me 3 forge gun shots to kill it, but I love the triple kills I get. |
