CCP just don't know wtf they're doing.
Tony, Tony, Tony. You said you deleted DUST from your PS3 several days ago. I'm beginning to think you lied to us on the Internet. For shame!
Free LAVs don't take 5 grenades to kill. For starters, everyone who doesn't run with a squad at all times should have Grenadier 3 trained and carry advanced EX-0 AV nades at a minimum. They have better splash damage, can be thrown farther, and home in better than packed AV. I carry Locus only when I am spawning into CQC areas. LAVs that take multiple advanced AV to the face typically are skilled up and properly fit. Some tanks can be taken out with fewer than 5 AV grenades.
LAV stunt drivers are not hard to counter. That said, I can't imagine Cub's forge not decimating an LAV as OHK. That must have been wonky hit detection or lag. |

With all due respect your are wrong. I roll in advanced AV gear. Tons of people do. My only fits without advanced AV nades are for CQC. Starter LAVs were prevented from being abused by folks like me that could OHK your weak ride that had no invested skill or mods. This is no longer true. It needs to be fixed.
I'm a fanboy, for the record. Love the TAR, love hunting tanks that rightfully got buffed, want to see drop ships buffed too. But free LAVs? Um, no.
Lastly, I owe Tony C an apology for essentially saying HTFU when he pointed out the LAV problem. Having been playing with new update I see he is absolutely correct. |
