And people say that impacts don't slow you down

They do not slow the lols down.

It must be the beer....NERF IT!

And people say that impacts don't slow you down

Circle of Death is a drinking game in New Zealand.

The only problem I have with LAVs ATM is the fact you cannot shoot the driver as you can the gunner.

I will agree with that... although you CAN shoot the driver it is very hard. I have been killed while driving an LAV a few times... always while not moving more than 1 mph.

It's also a drinking name here. I kinda did it on purpose, but didn't know if anyone would understand. +1 to you, sir.

That looked like one grenade to me.

thats it exactly DS it takes 2-3 nades to pop my custom militia saga but that is about the right number to me might be able to take 4 standard nades if I had proto stuff on it though. but thats still only like 2 proto nades and a weee bit of hp. I like where LAV's are at just need to replace the free one with the bike that was rummored

my personal best(and reason I wish I had a recorder and capable hard computer) was hitting a fat suit, getting flipped in the air form the hit(did a... whats it called... basically one forward rotation with a clockwise rotation at the same time.) and landing on some poor guy.

Could not have planned it better, also loving the new physics engine when it lines up crap like that.

AV nades dont work on DS ( unless they are touching the ground and unmanned )


Pretty much agree on everything else tho, and AV nades are less effective against Shields so people with AV nade problems just need to run more Shields

I used to tell people that had issues with gunning to use a laser. Now, I'll tell anyone who can't shoot to spec into LAVs if you'd still like to be effective.

My first LAV kill was while I was barrel rolling down a hill. I wasn't recording then. I like the new physics, but it does need tweaking. They're extremely top heavy and roll quick. Before we slid, now we roll. The control changes help that a TON though. I still think adding R2/L2 controls to LAVs was one of my top 5 additions to the game.

He said DS because of my name. I don't think he meant dropship.

Actually... they do. Just have to have a good arm.

Actually... They dont ( atleast not for me and every one else I know that uses them )

Iv have derictly impacted severel DS with Hacked-AV nades only for them to bounce of and fall the ground with no detonation.
Also AV nades do not ( atlest in my experience as a dedicated AVer ) track non grounded Vihecles.

Viper 4-5m off ground (3x ship heights or so) hovering in domination yesterday would disagree. 3x packed av and it went boom.

This is incorrect. I took out a Myron hovering near a skirmish objective today with 3 EX-0 AV nades. Ironically, it was easier to kill than a free LAV. Ain't that just how it goes for pilots in DUST?

Also, everyone dogging people about the starter LAV problem can suck it. There is no more one AV nade kill with EX-0. Period. If you don't believe me try it yourself. Our boy DS did not die to a single AV nade on that video. There's a reason the comedy cars are everywhere right now... because they aren't so easily countered anymore since the HP buff. o7

I think over 90% of the people who go LAV Smashing use free LAVs. I know that's all I've ever used. That's where the issue comes in. People complaining about things being OP when in reality, they can easily counter them. It takes one person with a Forge Gun/Swarm Launcher/AV Nade to take them out and whoever's in it with it.

I understand that GOOD LAVs are strong, but they're not exactly cheap. They should take a beating from AV nades, small arms fire, etc. They're upgraded and beefed up a little bit. The person skilled into the LAVs and pay a solid chunk of change per LAV. They should be durable. I'll never understand why people complain about ticky tack stuff and then wonder why the game is shifting towards an all AR battlefield.

well they worked 3 days ago so I don't know what to tell you.. you missed?

Why are most of you guys saying this is funny? Seriously, I'm here to play a FPS but it's become a giant joke. I always run with AV nades but all the ground vehicles have much more HP now so I'm that much more useless.

If the impact damage was removed, it would allow the LAV to be used for what it was meant for and infantry could focus on shooting while playing their shooter game..

wrong nades equipped? because I tested 3 days ago and the did work just fine.

if you want to remove impact damage, i want bullet damage to be removed!

I'm not here to play Frogger, I'm here to play a shooter! Quit being a **** and talking like murder taxis are a good aspect to Dust514.

Let the LAV transport, and rep, and scan, and suppress, etc. That is what it is MEANT for. Impact was acceptable at first, but it's gotten out of hand now. You really can't deny that.

I hate CoD because of the people that exploit the game's flaws. Dust is turning into CoD, especially with you people that defend what is happening. It's disgusting that you can take the time to defend what's going on.

Murder taxis make Dust stand out from other games? Wow..

all of you CoD fanbois get all fussy when you have to more then point and shoot and this comes up every time I use that against you because you think you don't need awareness and stop taking AV nades and go 20-0 because and the forums going a crying tears that you go beat by a easy to avoid tactic. my LLAV loves your tears , feed it more

So LAVs run on Tears now? hows the Mileage?

I would rather get pushed out of the way by LAVs. It's not a hard concept and it would keep the game focused.

I am the exact opposite of a CoD fanboy, ladwar. I stopped playing it after MW2 and moved onto Battlefield. Incase you aren't familiar with BF, it has lots of vehicles. I'm a support logistic player so I'm ALWAYS looking around for ways to help out my team.

Also, I ONLY use AV nades. Only thrown a handful of Locus nades in my entire time with Dust, including the closed beta.

Stop ruining Dust.

So, you say that vehicles ruin dust, how can you justify that?

10 miles per tear. used to have to fuel it with my own tears after people realized av nades work on LAVs but it toke a day an half.

Welcome to the grand adventure that is an internet forum. I'd like to refer you to all my posts before this one to find your answer. If you can't find the answer, you're not trying hard enough.

the only thing i see is you crying not giving a reason : /

my free lav gos boom from one av nade.

One criticism about the video. It wasnt sped up to benny hill standards.

I will agree with that... although you CAN shoot the driver it is very hard. I have been killed while driving an LAV a few times... always while not moving more than 1 mph.

I shot the driver out of an LAV when I was on a blaster installation. The LAV was at the Max range for the blaster installation. I was trying to blow the whole thing up, but only shot the driver...the shields recharged faster than I could do damage to the LAV at that range.
