What should really happen is everyone should be thrown like a ragdoll over the hood taking a ton of damage. Not only would it be fun to watch an LAV zoom through a ton of people throwing them up into the air, it would provide a mechanic where it is not always a one hit kill.

But to be honest all I care about is seeing mercs thrown over the hood of my car as I laugh like a maniac.

yes, it takes out your knee, you hit the floor, they come back around and park on the side of your head, Then floor it. or even just hit you dead on, stop while you slide off the hood and then nice and slow(per your request) go over you and crush you like a grape.

or if they're me, they powerslide into you at about 45, and laugh at your impotent swarms and tears.

How about when I jump the things in a scout suit... why do I still die?

Guess the achilles heel of a scout is its achilles heel.

Ba dump tsk.

I love these threads when people try to act like things in game are real and they know all the intricate specs of whatever they are talking about like they took a class on it.

Alright, you do all that to kill one guy while the other team is blowing you up. Just as long as we agree that one impact at a relatively low speed won't kill the guy.

its just a question, what do you think? it just seems weird because we're these mercs with armor and shields who can take half a clip from plasma rfles. it also really doesnt matter how fast im going if I make impact with someone they die. should it be autodeath or is that bad gameplay?

more importantly, if the LAV should be, why does the tank push you when its tracks should crush you?

you can actually tank up a LAV enough to absorb a forge gun hit or swarms and still move on.

I thought you were talking about how Militia LAVs only take one hit to destroy
If you are dumb enough to get run over at a slow speed you deserve that death. If you didn't look twice before crossing that road you deserve to die. If you decided to bring the Stay-Puft Marshmallow suit out to use an HMG, you deserve to be roadkill. If you create a show of golden sparks and get stuck in my axle, you sure are dead.

Tin cans with wheels AKA jeeps a OHK??
HELLLL NOOOO!!!


Got my POWERED exosuit with dual or triple hydrogen advanced fuel cells and some fool in a jeep runs me over??
The fuelcell goes BOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
I got time to eject a fuel cell and say to the FOOL in the jeep:
Your terminated.

Basically the Suit is so heavy that if you drop to your knees in a stable position , you could be able to knock a light car off the road. A heavy suit weights 5 tons according to lore for gods sake. It most likely weights more than the LAV come to think of it... weird.

in the game mechanics it does, and in physics, that much hitting your spine will paralyze you for life. effectively ending any kind of mercenary job on the spot.

so yes, one won't kill you, but it will take you out of the fight, which as a clone will trigger you or your employers to hit the kill-switch and pop you in fresh.

and the enemy team blowing me up? I laugh at that. took a swarm, got knocked into 2 proxy mines, and that only killed my gunner(alas poor blueberry, I never knew or cared about you.) I then drove away backwards at 60 MpH and got behind a box before the next could even be launched.

does that armor un-snap your spine, and un-shatter your ribs, and un-perforate your organs?

E=mc^2 oh and unlike a bullet all of that energy is transferring into you.

you are instantaneously accelerating from 0-35mph suit is probably just fine, thats a lot of energy for the shields so they might collapse but the suit is ok, but we have to represent some how that your insides are scrambled.

agreed tanks should run over every thing instead of crashing but the games physics are crap, and if a tank hits you fast enough you go splat.

No.

Like everything else in this game LAV impacts should have a FIXED DAMAGE. Auto-kills are a no-no...If the damage exceeds the target's total health? FINE--he's dead.

I'm sorry but going 5mph and OHK a guy is lame.

Also, tanks should be able to run people over rather than bumping them.
