Sincerely, I disagree with the damage-on-hit for the poor little LAVs.
Yes, I often call my stock Baloch powered with some Militia BPO Modules, to make it durable and free, and then I ram every single poor soldier that gets in my way and is not fast enough to dodge my raid. But the damage-on-hit already exists, with heavies: a Forge Gun wielding heavy can almost one-shot my Baloch (if he charges his weapon before I get him), and a Heavy Machine Gunner can make considerable damage before being rammed. Scouts, Assaults and, if fast, Logistics can dodge me, if they spot me and use their brain to jump and sprint correctly. And when that is not enough, a Swarm Launcher or AV Grenade can easily destroy my LAV, even with the armor boost I mounted on it.
If you want to survive or damage/destroy a LAV before it hits you, just use a bit of strategy, reflexes, and keep an eye on your minimap.
You can't ask a nerf or rebalance for every single thing you can't handle, just train and use strategy, and when and where possible, teamwork.
Or your own stock LAV, if you want.
Yes, I'm giving tips on how to kill me. What a genius. |

That said, I do agree that LAVs should probably take noticeable shield damage from running over people (because the LAV shields are designed to stop stuff with a kinetic energy of a bullet, not that of a 200kg dropsuit at 60km/h). Armor damage... that's up for a debate. I think squished flies on the front bumper.
Ok, this would be a nice idea. Since the LAV Shields are already low and their recharge time is awfully long, I think this idea would be the best solution. If you ram people, your shields would be istantly depleted, and your precious armour would be exposed. That would make LAVs less ram-centered and at the same time, ramming would remain a nice strategy for people who know how to keep their LAVs out of danger. I agree, completely.
And maybe, but just maybe, they could add a liiittle ram damage for the armor, about 10% of the enemy's armor. If you ram a heavy with 600 armor, your LAV would take only 60 damage. It would be something. |
