Bojo The Mighty Bojo's School of the Trades 954	Posted - 2013.04.23 20:01:00 - [91] - Quote Yes but I like having repair modules on my LAV, because I can't always just stop to make the repairs, or find a supply depot, especially since HAV's destroy them.

Reasons why I armor tank. Shields regenerate anyways, might as well make everything regenerate. The saga at first makes plenty of sense, it has more natural regen HP, and less need for armor which would "slow" it down. I swarm out on Onikumas and they actually don't blow up immediately because of shields vs. swarms. But in my testing with Onikumas, you are genuinely screwed once damage starts biting into your armor, you're as good as dead.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative 240	Posted - 2013.04.24 20:36:00 - [94] - Quote I had my guristas saga to have a passive shield regen to over 50 per second, its actually want I did for a remote armor repairer.
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 1323	Posted - 2013.05.01 22:19:00 - [95] - Quote Okay bumping this back up for the ignorant masses today, was using my cycled missile variant with hunter junko gunning for me, we got an orbital and had some fantastic times killing turrets and turning red berries into jam. This thing can take 2 rail guns hit in succession and still be alive if you get the DCU on.

I actually would genuinely like to see more Methana's and Sagas out there. I don't like seeing pistol users because it's the greatest secret, but I feel like the AV community needs less free WP and more work.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 272	Posted - 2013.05.01 22:36:00 - [97] - Quote well that's good, im kindof waiting for the update for someone to actually say the LLAV got its repper back. LAV can tank ok vs installations, not so well vs any HAV.

If you check out the Uprising footage from Jenza, the LAVs look way better to handle and sources say that the LLV does in fact have the repper back.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 274	Posted - 2013.05.01 22:42:00 - [99] - Quote I don't believe it till I see it and I don't trust reddit at all. handling was never a problem for me.

ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 274	Posted - 2013.05.01 22:46:00 - [101] - Quote its takes a little practice to drive backwards after taking a forge gun round but once you know how to handle it and actually tried it is pretty simple but the controls are not normal compared to all other games.

It's also pretty good to learn what you can and can't drive on, for example knowing that I could use a staircase as a ramp to get to safety saved my methana from enemy fire.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 275	Posted - 2013.05.01 23:43:00 - [103] - Quote I am disappointed that they made a new type of LAV and instead of making a more tanked version or a attack platform the just toke the MTL and beefed up its speed and made it cost as much as the LLV and call it the scout LAV... this is in no way helpful.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1320	Posted - 2013.05.02 00:06:00 - [104] - Quote The new LAV handling doesn't look promising- looks too tight. I was used to the super-sensitive-super-maneuverable ones we have now. Driving backwards after you spin around can be fun sometimes.

Jenza I believe it's passive. It repairs the infantry who get inside of it or near it.

Henry FitzEmpress Reaper Galactic D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 34	Posted - 2013.05.04 12:41:00 - [111] - Quote Will everybody be going into LAVs after the respec? Seems like with the split of core skills, it's going to be a little more painful. I'm thinking of 80% dropsuit and 20% LAV for my skill point reallocation. Won't really know for sure until I can see the new skills and SP costs for each.
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 1369	Posted - 2013.05.04 18:21:00 - [112] - Quote I am, well I'm getting the methana at least, not sure if I'm going to take it any further than that. I'm going to outs load of sp into dropships and most of the rest into vehicle support and turret skills. I'm probably going to put a million or so sp into infantry corp skills and get one of the base medium suits just to use to earn ISK. It's going to be painful for a while but my infantry fits will get stronger once I've finished maxing vehicles.
