I'm reserving judgement on the scout LAV's, I'll see how they turn out among my more LAV dedicated fellow mercs. But IMO LAV's are fulfilling their role rather nicely right now, as ground transport and as a light attack vehicle. Stick the right turret on and use them properly, namely for hit and run and harassment attacks and they do quite well. Your mistake is comparing them to HAV's they occupy different roles in the battlefield, they should be judged according to those, not against each other. LAV's are like dropships, their not supposed to take punishment, their supposed to avoid it. HAV's on the other hand are meant to take and dish out huge amounts of damage, you can't and shouldn't compare them.

but its not hard for dropships to kill tanks with LAVs its ok, switch to walking boys till that HAV is down. and the LAV tank is fine or at least ok it the actually model design.. its not meant to attack runs, sure zero-very light resistance they do fine for attack runs any more and your leaving before your gunner or yourself is dead the LAV might be just fine thou.

This is why free LAV's need to go, so people will actual respect and use the standard and other versions. If you want a good fit check out bojos attack methane thread in the training grounds, me and bojo has earned orbitals using that thing, LAV's are actually very good vehicles, people just don't realise it.

That's true for the most part, though certain maps give you a better chance of surviving.
