Because everyone sees the LAV as a cheap, disposable travel system, with neither significant tank or firepower to be a true threat on the battlefield, and they lack the utility of dropships. |

The bad tank drivers who don't know what they're doing, or who have god aweful fits, yea you might get lucky with a nice ambush and take them out.
Anyone better than that? You best be on comms and you best have teammates with descent AV fits who can hear you and will listen to you. Otherwise, it's best just to drop to a militia suit and try to get as many kills as possible as you watch the match dramatically tip in favor of your enemy. That's kind of what I'm getting at with my horrible 2 minute chart I linked. There's just something off about all this.
and lets not even get into forge guns against dropships, even well tanked fits will go down to 2 or 3 basic forge gun hits. |

True I don't use those. But they work well enough on drop ships that I've seen too, furthering my point about this odd discrepancy in the balance of a few factors here. Let me make a chart... The formatting didn't work in post lol. Here's a brief analysis :X http://tinypic.com/r/2nrq69t/7 a tank is worth 600k cheap good fit and up to 2.4 mil. wat tanks r u using tht r so cheap. tell me. :D Ah, the ones I've been reading about people using on forums. First, how on earth do you get the cost up to anything near 2 million? Second Lets adjust and say that's the case. I such a tank I imagine, would never die :X I thought they were around 600k average for the sort of pub rolling commonly seen.
the one's used in pubs are but when you get up to top level HAV's and proto mods the price increases massively |

DUST Fiend wrote:Let's also not forget that unlike tanks, we can't get kills on our own (save the occasional smush), AND our gunners can be killed. When facing skilled opponents, they will focus fire your gunners when you hold the ship steady for them. This is why I prefer shield tanked heavies with an Armor rep as my gunners, so I can actually move the ship before they die.
CCP has some strange logic, that's for sure.
If they can shoot in, my passengers should be able to shoot out. |

it's not about tanks beiing soled, it's that a fit like that would more or less insta-kill anything but the highest end dropships while it would take significant effort to kill a tank |
