I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I had such a fantastic day today I had to share!
My gunner and I today took down 7 tanks (2 of which were assists), and 1 drop ship with my Methana. I'm sharing this with you not for kudos and cookies, but rather to reveal what is possible. so often, I see ppl pass up lav's and move onto HAV's. I have played eve since the beta, april 2003. One piece of good advice you will usually receive is that you shouldn't train for battleships until you can fly a cruiser properly. I believe that statement holds true here.
When I i told my corpmates that I was thinking of skilling into LAV's, i think some of them thought i was nuts. Now many of them are training turret skills on their own behalf. If you have been considering specing into LAV's, you will not be disappointed. your friends will train turret skills without even asking them to. you will and can survive an entire match with out loosing your trusty LAV. You can make isk. Tanks can be destroyed by a single small blaster turret.
for those of you who are skilled and lucky enough to take down my SweetPea, you cost me 415.7k isk every time. This is my gift to you. Thanks for the Memories!!!

Pretty sure i'm going to stick to my rail gun HAV though for killing tanks :P
with all modules active on my armor tank it takes 3 AV grenades OR 3-4 direct militia swarm hits, OR 2-3 direct militia forge gun hits.
the turret puts out just over 600 dps base damage for a sustained 12-13 seconds |

usually the first thing a blue dot does with your ride is drive it into an enemy railgun turret!
I never bring in my ride unless i got a dedicated gunner from my corp with me. I don't often leave my driver's seat, but when I do, I always ask them to take the driver's seat until I return. 95% of the time when we are rollin, i stay in the driver's seat, and my gunner doesn't leave the turret/passenger seat.

Pretty sure i'm going to stick to my rail gun HAV though for killing tanks :P A good skilled LAV driver with over 5 mill of dedicated SP can take about 4 hits from any standard AV weapon in the game atm.... There's no way any LAV can take 4800 damage and survive...?? (Dmg from std forge)
you have to keep in mind the time involved in taking those shots, and that time being used to recharge/boost shields and rep armor |
