LAV's in terms of HP and mechanics are fine. No more of that 1 standard AV bullshit, but Exo will still OHK most standard ones.

However, the massive problem is their ability to run people over. Last I checked, there was a turret on it for a reason.

Don't remove this ability, but "nerf" it. It needs to take more than 2 km/h to run a person over, increase the speed that kills people. Basically anything but top or close to top speed only damages people, but if the LAV is travelling pretty fast, it should definitely crush people.

And bring back the dashboard bodies, where running people over had you slowed down until the body "decomposed".

Last I checked more people die each year to vehicular collisions than all forms of gunshots. This is actually one thing that CCP got right. What I would like to see is a special murder taxi version with spikes mounted on the front that would do additional damage on impact. It could even replace the turret. Heck, CCP could also offer blades that extend out from the sides to provide additional killing width. I'd be willing to skill back into vehicles for that.

You should drive your car into a light post and see if it keeps going, confirm these studies.

Hitting a Shield tanked suit with 1/25th the mass of a LAV should slow it down by 1/25th of its speed. An armor tanked heavy with 1//5th the mass of a LAV should reduce the speed after collision by 1/5th of its speed. It's also fine to require a fatal amount of energy transfer. Something along the lines of 20mph on the open road and less if you are being crushed against a hard surface such as a wall.

Are you confusing the physics of elastic collisions between non-fixed objects with an elastic collision between one fixed and one non-fixed object, or are you just trolling?
