Armor can have much more effective HP but is weak to things like swarms and AV grenades. However, swarms have a hard time hiting skilled LAV pilots due to the fact that terrain is a constant factor. A thing to remember about LAV's is that one flux grenade can completely destroy your shield leaving you open to small arms fire. I have no problem surviving in my Methana (1.5k Shield 2.5k Armor) or my Tank Methana W/O on-board repair (1.2k Shield 3k Armor + Damage Control). It is entirely up to you but I prefer armor to shield in all my vehicles. It is just a matter of preference.

Armor will be getting a fix in the next build so it should be up to par with shields, according to the newest videocast.

How do you have a basic Methana up to those specs? You sure you're not talking about a Logistics LAV?

I have specialized in tanks, so all my passive skills, modules and fitting skills are nearly maxed. I don't assume anyone can make this fit, but it is possible. Even with some basic skills it is not hard to break 2k armor and 1 or 1.5 k shields on a Methana. I don't know my exact fit off hand but I will try and post it when I get a chance to play. Currently at work right now.

AV grenades do more to armor if i'm correct, so basically never go armored vehicles? Please tell me if i'm wrong and please do correct me.

I still can't have 3k Armor with an armour repair. You must use the basic blaster or missiles to have that, right?
