I don't run the free LAV.. I run the BPO Gurista/ishkune.
I put two militia over drives on it, an standard or advanced turret, and 3 militia shield rechargers. I roll with a heavy/forge and my gunner runs a scout with a swarm.It seems like this is the winning combo for me running people over and my gunner taking out installations and dropships. Dropships are a hoot. We follow them and ruin them. Tanks? We learned to stop the LAV where their turret is 180 degrees turned away from us.. he rails on them with the turret until our car gets wasted and then he switches to swarm, and i, meanwhile, am forge gunning anything I see. By the way, using a tanks slow turret speed is pretty boss if you have a good gunner. If our car wasn't trashed we jump back in and repeat. Chasing other LAVs is particularly my favorite :D
Still. we die a lot. I get hit by hacked AV nades and it's definitely a 2 shot affair. I can take two milita swarms before my armor is flaming. One adv/proto swarm and we either die or have to ditch. Forge guns don't kill us outright, but it takes out the car. Another thing, your gunner needs to get good at switching to the passenger side seat so he gets protected/let his shield rep. All these errors resulting in our deaths are making us craftier and craftier. It's tactics guys. If you are getting run over- I can tell you right now. It's basically your fault. I gun for people in the open. Lone wolfs. I stay away from squads because they tend to have at least one AV guy. We try to test them out by buzzing their towers, and if no AV comes out it becomes a slaughter.
There is a bug of some sort I've started to notice, however. Every once in awhile, the sound of our LAV engine errors out or something and we basically become a prius. Completely silent. Holy moly. No one ever knows we are coming. I drive around enemy tanks and they never knew we went by. Last night we blasted over a ridge, and into a staging area for an enemy carmegedon. It was hilarious There was like 5 sagas waiting to mobilize, and here we are like dukes of hazard flying into their party. They blew us up so fast, not only did we not get to land, we didn't even get to see death screens 
FWIW- I think the freebie LAVs should go until their map sizes require them. If you hate LAVs tho, BPOs are the real issue ;) |
