Actually its only how hard they hit u, I survive alot when they barely swipe me or if there not full speed. Also easy counter measure level up your AV or just dont fight in the open field hide in cover or higher ground. Also if they took out not dying when u get ran over this game would make even less sense then it alredy does with the rest of its physics.

I agree but friendly fire is off derps. If not newb berrys would be shooting u more then ud be worried bout lav. But either way cover is ur friend, even heavies use cover if they are smart if u stand in the open all the time u must lose alot of suits.

Its not just one thing.. its multiple

1 - Hit detection is just funny. Anywhere near the LAV will killyou
2 - AV grenades are feather dusters now
3 - Vehicles are ninjas so you cant see them coming

Still seeing a lot of use of the word "car" as if this isn't a high-velocity armoured vehicle we're talking about but some standard Honda Civic or something. Let's get one thing clear - LAV's are more comparable to a Humvee, not a "car". And that armour and shield you have? It's nothing like the half-tonne suit that Master Chief wears in Halo.

Now, let's talk some physics. I'll keep it simple. There are a number of forces to consider when taking a hit from a high velocity armoured vehicle, including concussive force, energy transfer, and mass. For those in the know, mass is directly transferably to energy. In fact, for those that know something about how mass works at the subatomic level inside a muon for example, mass is made of energy. So, the energy from the speed of the "car" is not the only energy to consider, but it's mass as well. Now, you are not a heavy guy, and while the shields and armour of your suit may protect you against small arms kinetic impacts and directed energy attacks (to a degree), the LAVs are somewhat more massive than you, and larger than a bullet, so a vehicle of this type is going to be transferring a lot of that energy across a much larger area than a small round travelling at higher speeds might do, which will create a concussive force in your armour that has the potential to not just crush you if the wheels happen to roll over you (which, if the armour's any good, it may actually protect you from direct wheel-crushing, unless it was damaged in the impact, which is probable), but the most likely cause of damage from vehicular impact is going to be that concussive force from the energy transfer that scrambles your internal organs into pulp. In fact, it is not uncommon for victims of vehicular impacts to suffer from ruptured spleens and the like with little to no external visible injury.

So, what have we learned today? That's right. LAVs are not Honda Civics. But in the right circumstances, a Honda Civic could probably kill you too. Like if it was dropped on you by a crane. But that's another physics lesson entirely....

Your talking about an inertial dampener. Sounds good to me. One problem for you though, you have to activate it, and it isn't going to do a world of good for you when I plow you from behind because you weren't looking, and it can't last for ever in face to face confrontations.

It's only going to get with worse with the STD BPOs

Here's an idea. Just a thought, really. If they can spam free LAVs, then why can't you?

Why don't you go outside and try geting hit by a car - Let me know how well you survive it. And no - body armor is not designed to stop impacts by multi-ton vehicles.

You want to know how not to get run over by a LAV driver? Here's a hint - PAY ATTENTION. Most if not all collisions can be avoided by simply having a heartbeat and stepping out of the way. It's not that hard. For bonus points, combine well-thrown AV grenades with sidestepping. It's super effective!

Stupid post is stupid.

nope. i think we should all keep spamming them until CCP gets the idea that their system is broken. people wouldnt be using them as much if they simply fixed aiming, nerfed TAR's, and hadnt screwed with lav's by buffing their hp.

CCP's fault, let them fix it. by exploiting broken game mechanics we are sending a message that something is wrong.

I would say require the LAV to be moving at far higher speed to achieve a one-hit-kill, and make the LAV take a large fraction of the damage they cause to the suit they hit.

If you think about it, smacking your vehicle repeatedly into heavily armored and shielded infantry should start tearing it up.
