Warpfiend Thanos HongKong n Shanghai Merc Corp 3	Posted - 2013.04.08 08:31:00 - [1] - Quote So far I have not seen a LAV been used to much effect. I tend to see some people playing Mario Kart on the starter ones, rocketing off hills higher than a North Korean missile. Are there some LAVs being used to good effects in some games or are they just powder kegs with wheels at the moment? Is anybody out there going doing a LAV focused build?

Chances Ghost Inf4m0us 37	Posted - 2013.04.08 08:35:00 - [3] - Quote i LOVE them, they are absolutly awesome racecars!! their control scheme is actually pretty awesome once you get used to it, ive even figured out how to drift around corners (although you lose alot of speed so its not really the same as drifting but it lets you control the directions comming out of tight turns) most people dont use the brake, or turn properly, or any of that... If you held down just the gas in a car and floored it and tryed to drive everywhere at max speed.... how far do you think you would get before you spun out or outright crashed into things?
2-Ton Twenty-One Imperfects Negative-Feedback 467	Posted - 2013.04.08 08:36:00 - [4] - Quote Howdidthattaste had a good one last build, but when the missle nerf came in no one really uses them for combat anymore. You can still build something that will take a hit but they cost way to much as it is so its not a worthwhile investment for a first class. They are more something you would augment your class with later on as they cannot stand on their own 4 wheels as a combat veh or dedicated sp class. After you first class is rounded off then you can start building one, probably after about 14mil sp

Orenji Jiji Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 34	Posted - 2013.04.08 09:19:00 - [8] - Quote LAV is a tool. It's the driver who is terribad. For one -- I need a wider bumper module, because sometimes heavies jump away and I need to turn back to pick them up (Carmageddon514 game mode). Also dedicated gunner on decent blaster can do some proper damage. I usually gun, because I do not feel like I should be responsible for a manned ground vehicle yet. I hear (and see) people doing great things with Creo Methanas, but still ADV forge or swarm and you're gone. There is also one other thing that LAV is good for, but you must get to this yourself. :-) I like dropships better though, go figure.

Its another weapon in the arsenal lol
ladwar Dead Six Initiative 99	Posted - 2013.04.08 09:56:00 - [10] - Quote yea chances are it won't do full damage(hp of LAV) and its a death trap if you don't get out fast enough or get cought before ramming it, still you can do it and pop av nades as they do more then any FG in DPS. the surpise is actually what helps the most and i find sneaking up on them planting a hive and watch the fireworks. but back to the OP yea free lav is basically the best way to go the others are just not worth it right now.

Your more then welcome to put it up against me and my forge gun with a starter lav or hell my hmg anytime seeing as how I have a good shot of knocking you out of the drivers seat with a well placed round or ramming you for a good bump and pump.

And what does that KAV do for your team other than remove one gun from the fight? With driver/gunner, we are a mobile turret and support role and light AV platform. We have taken down tanks and dropships with a single proto blaster. With all 3 seats full, we can respond to any contested objective faster than most and with significant firepower. typically we will take the first 2-5 (depending on the weather)minutes of a match taking out problem turrets. by this time the enemy team typically has the lead. More often than not, we reclaim the match once we re tool our efforts with the LAV.

I will be able to survive 5 swarms when I unlock the Limbus. Small Blasters are my weapon of choice. I call in an LAV almost every game and a lot of my kills come from my blaster. I do have to change seat to shoot but that's just a small annoyance.

I will leave it to you guys to figure out what I used to get to that. :) Limbus with alot of armor plates, passive 15% resistance. Then you use a dropsuit with a decent repair tool to repair it when needed. I know it cause i used it on the E3 build and codex. It could aswell take a direct hit from a sagaris railgun and run off. Against swarms i would say you would have used the charybdis with 2-3 shield extenders and a 15% pasive resistance. In the low slot eventually PG upgrades. And the turret is only for display cause both vehicles gain HP bonus but loose 50% damage output.

Not the best possible fit, on the Methana (not going Limbus till CCP adds 4th low slot, returns the remote rep, and increases CPU/PG values) I have 900 shields with 14% shield recharge, 2490 Armor (not sure about the 90 part) and two 25% Armor hardeners. I only use this fit to track down a Slap level Railgun Sagaris in OMS Ambush. The other fit I have gets a efficient armor rep in place of the plate to better handle proto forge guns.
sammus420 Immobile Infantry 35	Posted - 2013.04.08 18:39:00 - [43] - Quote The real problem with LAVs is that they explode after a certain amount of time of not being in them. I'm not going to drop 40000 ISK fitting a car out only for it blow up because I'm too busy shooting people to get back in right away. If there was a way to return vehicles to the MCC instead of letting them waste away on the battlefield we might see more well fitted LAVs being used at certain points in the battle. At the moment calling one in always results in it being lost, and not everyone wants to just **** money away.

This also means if you call in a dropship, don't expect to get into a gunfight on the ground the entire match unless you want to lose your precious 150k ISK investment. While it's a reasonable measure to prevent people from abandoning their cars and such on the field and locking up slots so no one else can call stuff in, it would be nice if I could return my cars to the MCC instead of simply letting them explode.
Fenix Alexarr BurgezzE.T.F Orion Empire 8	Posted - 2013.04.08 20:41:00 - [47] - Quote I've seen some of these LAV tanks in ambush matches. They are infinitely more annoying than tanks simply because they're so quick. They take one shot and then run off only to come back with full health looking for road kills. Killing one of those is a feat if the driver isn't a moron.

First of all my LAV is 170k a pop and it's just a Methana, so unless you're missing a zero there it's really on the cheap. Second -- park it near supply depo if you want to leave it, but somebody will grab it and run away before you even step out. So freebie works best for taxi, just watch out for those proximity candies.

I will leave it to you guys to figure out what I used to get to that. :) But you can still get shot out of the drivers seat by AI blaster turrets, and 90% of gunners are terrible. That's what I learned after constantly working with LAVs, until I eventually got a logi LAV. Did I mention that logi LAVs are barely an improvement over standard? That is, for a logistical role.

I will leave it to you guys to figure out what I used to get to that. :) Limbus with alot of armor plates, passive 15% resistance. Then you use a dropsuit with a decent repair tool to repair it when needed. I know it cause i used it on the E3 build and codex. It could aswell take a direct hit from a sagaris railgun and run off. Against swarms i would say you would have used the charybdis with 2-3 shield extenders and a 15% pasive resistance. In the low slot eventually PG upgrades. And the turret is only for display cause both vehicles gain HP bonus but loose 50% damage output. Bingo. But it is great transport that does not get popped quick. I am using that fit sometimes too.
