I highly doubt our crush-able cans of a suit would cause any amounts of damage unless our own reactors blew when we die. Oh, no no no, I didn't make myself clear. I meant that the MERC takes damage but doesn't necessarily die instantly, but yeah the LAV takes no damage at all (I wasn't even thinking along those lines!) So in short, jeep always comes away fine, exoskeleton-clad dude that got hit goes over or under the jeep, but doesn't necessarily die instantly. Hope that clears this up. 
Im just gonna say im completely against this idea Lavs are far too vulnerable to infantry you can easily find yourself surrounded. Just because you or your team mates havent skilled in to AV doesnt mean you should complain when you get ran over. Lav drivers are powerless to do anything to infantry if they find themselves without a gunner or passenger. As of now when you run people over you dont just plow straight through them you get stuck momentarily and that's a fair penalty. |

Atm you do need a fair amount of speed to kill someone if you dont have a head start the person you run over can survive the op is just overreacting. Ive had a lav try to run me over 3 times in a starter fit it wasnt until he backed up for more speed when he killed me. |

Just have LAV turrets deal more damage to compensate so the LAV will be a bit more deadly in the way a futuristic piece of machinery should be. Right now the deadliest part of the LAV is the bumper.
Less bumper cars, more pew-pew.
Im gonna let you in on a big secret, here's how to blow up any lav that comes your way. Flux nade and a swarm launcher Sagas have alot of shield but no armor and the mathena has little shield and a lot of armor. Swarm launchers do extra damage to armor and AV granades are weak against shields so what's happening? Everyone is hording AV grenades and when the lav survives they go OMG lavs are OP. In reality though people are using the wrong method learn to be a better AV user. If there was just one squad that had a flux nade user and a av grenade user you could dispatch any free Lav fairly easily. |

I actually want them to be tougher. I'd just rather die to the turret than the bumper. I want to see LAVs be an effective anti infantry weapon platform, not a lawnmower. Buff the turrets and lower collision damage to make it hard to kill someone by running them over. LAVs are deadly in the wrong way.
Lavs are effective against infanty these people who are running you over have no skills put into their Lavs. They are easily dispatched when i encounter them with my superior fittings. Also i destoryed a saga today with a plasma cannon shot and a av nade. |
