So its not exactly straightforward, but lets say the other team has 4-5 guys going TAC AR. Their biggest advantage would be on a map with a decent amount of space between you and them, not having cover.
In my mind, sidearms and shotguns will be the greatest CqC assets we have. The key to taking out the heavier hitting long range weapons will be closing that distance between you and them ASAP.
In comes the LAV. I'm not saying I've really been successful at using it in this way, but I think it can really disrupt a TAC-AR squad, forcing them to have to be much more aware of their peripheral vision when they are looking down their sights to get kills.
A note to the future...I've heard devs say they want the ability to be able to shoot out of the passenger side of the LAV, but I was thinking about throwing grenades from inside...would this be OP? |

I manage to pick out drivers from an approaching LAV with scrambler pistol headshot. I would imagine that anyone decent can do this with the TAR too.
chances are, that those TAR dudes also carry AV grenades. |

If you are still at a shooting distance, ill headshot you, if you are at cqc distance ill packed AV nade you, your best bet is comming up from behind with that LAV or any blindspot. |

I was thinking about that, but that's a small victory though if you can force them to do that. It would mean they would have lesser disadvantage close range than they would have had were they carrying flux/locus.

From my attack methana days I recall this no matter how strong your LAV is random AV grenades will home in on you kill you and leave your vehicle intact. Or unoccupied railgun turrets will snipe you out of the driver seat when you fly past at 100+KM/h |

The driver is very well protected in a LAV and AR headshots don't do a significant amount of damage like the scrambler pistol. |

Like I said, I'm going to be testing this out more and inviting the rest of us to do also. But my guess is that those TAC-AR users who aren't twitchy masters at OHKing will probably being ADSing to get kills and losing a bit of awareness. I just wanted to point out that this should be a weakness that should be exploited as much as possible, however small or desperate. |

Lol, I ran an attack methana as well. This would occur occasioinally and was frustrating, but not the norm for me. |

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't i am guessing its an angle kind of thing or location, when i put one trough the ears it seems to do more damage then inbetween the eyes from the front.

i ran 19/0 all runover kills yesterday if i had people in my lav hopping out and raping the tacts it would have been even worse lavs are great mean to counter longer range assaults i hate it when half the team is countering the enemy with exactly what they are using then what it comes down to is who the better shot who has the better equipment. tactics can make even the most measly army victorious. |
