Maybe you can do a tank video and show us the massive amount of skill that takes  |

Maybe you can do a tank video and show us the massive amount of skill that takes I'm an LAV driver- tanks are just turret installations that you can move around.
Speaking of turret installations, those can be unmanned and blow you up from just as far, if not farther, than an AV grenade. Plus you can kill the guy with the AV 'nades pretty easily.
Also, if you aren't trying to run people over, AV grenades shouldn't be a huge issue for you--just avoid red dots when you're driving somewhere. |

People who go for crushes should expect to be hit by a grenade. It's driving cautiously but still getting hit by 2 grenades in no time at all that's bullshit.
I don't have any sympathy for people who get blown up when all they do is drive around in LAVs (free or not) trying to run blue dots over. Sorry. |

Never mind, I misread the post. If you're driving cautiously, you shouldn't be that close to many red dots, because that's what being cautious means in this game. I sort of doubt you're getting hit by 2 AV grenades (when you're taking efforts not to be near any red dots) often enough to justify a nerf to them--a nerf that would apply to them in every other situation too.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a very small nerf to the seek range, though there are versions of the grenade that already do that. |

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a very small nerf to the seek range, though there are versions of the grenade that already do that. The problem is that we're more or less forced to be in close quarters with most of the structures, and AV grenades have about the same range as an LAV's blaster. Avoiding reds altogether would mean I'm just driving around aimlessly.
It's not that hard to avoid getting destroyed by AV grenades unless you're trying to run someone over.
Look, I don't want to get shot at by five snipers every time I try to move, but it happens...and that's sort of how it's going to be with LAVs and AV grenades. They need a seek function because trying to get them to either hit or explode at the exact right time against something that moves as fast (and sporadically) as a LAV would be near impossible.
Also keep in mind that if someone is running AV grenades, then they aren't running Anti-Infantry grenades. They're giving up the only grenade slot they have to have some limited effectiveness against vehicles. If you're dying a lot to people who decide to make that their playstyle, then maybe speccing into LAVs (whatever that even means) isn't the best choice for you. Personally the only time I really get AV 'nade kills is when a LAV is quite close because it's trying to run me over/drive right past me or a milita HAV over-extends itself. |
