All that needs to be done is get rid of the free BPO LAV. Make people pay for their murder taxis, buy a BPO militia one for aurum (like with weapons), or shell out for an elite or veteran pack.

Well there's your problem.

In battlefield they put a cap on the number of vehicles spawned on the field depending on map size.

Might be worth looking into. I am just waiting until megacorps start to have 15 HAV's on the field with support.

Until then SWARMLANCHER!!!!!!

No, it's a valid concern he brings up.

Engineer (or anti-vehicle) classes in BF3 spawn with a fairly decent rifle to counter personnel, along with a range of AV weaponry.

Dust 514 will have you spawn in either a medium suit, with a thumbtac shooting smg or finnicky pistol to counter personnel, and lock you depending on medium/heavy suit into a swarm launcher (which is vehicle lockon only) or plasma/forge gun. In the event that there are no vehicles to shoot, you're a sitting duck to personnel in your heavy suit.

When you run out of vehicles to shoot, you *need* to swap dropsuits because otherwise you're a massive waste to your team.
In Battlefield 3, this problem is solved by having enough options to counter different types with a same fit.

Dust's fittings should be able to properly specialize into AV; but currently there is no middle ground to cover all bases fairly decent. This is because of a massive lack of weapons available - bound to happen when you release a game with only half it's content.

I shouldn't be forced to roll with AV gear because the only way people can kill is to run you over.

This is exactly what I was trying to get across.

In DUST it would be more useful if I could fit say the SCR and a plasma cannon instead of one or the other.

Who wants to be limited to one role? If you run AV you're gimped against infantry, if you run anti infantry, well prepare to be roadkill. It's infuriating.

Militia LAVs can be one shotted by a militia Forge Gun.

Militia LAVs can be destroyed by 2 standard AV grenades.

Militia LAVS can be two shotted by a Standard Plasma Cannon.

Militia LAVS can be one volleyed by a Standard Swarm Launcher.

I get the point, my point is I don't want to be AV period, if I see an HAV I simply run the other way. I shouldn't have to worry about LAV spam and have to be forced to switch roles just to take out some drunken idiot on a joy ride.

Militia LAVs aren't a problem, they are a gift.

BUT none of those AV weapons can kill my 3000 hp murder taxi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

r u trolling??

You got a lot of likes for incorrect information. Well played!

Bottom line, Chromosome free LAVs were fine. That's essentially what you described anyway.

I just don't understand why the LAV doesn't take damage when it hits someone. In real life if you hit someone going 60 miles per hour that person will at least dent your bumper, and people in real life aren't wearing incredibly heavy suits of metal.

It's called sarcasm...it doesn't play out well over text since you can't hear inflection.

forge gun 9k330 can.
