Aeon Amadi Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1391	Posted - 2013.05.27 00:47:00 - [1] - Quote I probably should be the last person telling an LAV Success Story considering how much I oppose them. But, here we are. I spawned in on a Domination match and saw that we were winning - that's cool. I went over to the Objective in my Logistics fitting, thinking I could help out as a medic. Out of no-where there's this enemy LAV that storms in, trying to run people over and by the grace of Amarr did the right thing and jumped out to bring the fight mano y mano against... Well, the better part of half the team. He died and much to my surprise no-one destroyed the LAV, so I decided to hack it and see what kind of fitting he had on this precious Militia LAV that he was so quick to abandon. Standard free fitting. Somehow, I wasn't surprised. So I took it for a little test drive to get over to the front-line since we had them Red-lined anyway.... And.... Then that poor bastard in his Dragonfly Assault Suit walked out into the middle of the road... Needless to say he flopped over like a dead fish and I couldn't help but feel bad for him. Then it happened again. And again. And again. I couldn't grasp it, these guys were just pouring out of the wood-works and walking out into the open without a care in the world. Hell, one of them - in an Amarr Heavy Suit - tried to STRAFE out of the way! That's when I noticed that there were not one, not two, but FOUR LAVS running around on my team! Doing the exact same hypocritical thing that I was doing! End of the match we won almost undisputed with the only damage done to our MCC coming from theirs. Not even beneath 75% shields on ours. Eventually it seemed like they just gave up all hope. End of the match, their #1 Player was a Sniper who went 5/0 and had 250 WP. And after seeing this, I'm not so sure that Proto suits are preventing new players from joining. After experiencing it for myself, I know for a fact that I would much rather have some shoddy attempt at E-Bushido and bring the fight to the enemy head on. This entire match just left a bad taste in my mouth, I don't feel as though I deserved the kills that I made and I sure as hell don't feel I deserved to be on a winning team that was abusing the absolute **** out of this tactic. But, ce la vie. Edit: Oh, also, to whoever shot the Swarm Launchers at me.. I'm sure you spent a lot of ISK/SP on that gear you had, and I apologize for bailing out and killing you with the Assault Rifle when your only legitimate means of defense was a Submachine Gun. No sarcasm, no conceited tone, I genuinely apologize for that. You deserved that kill.
XeroTheBigBoss TeamPlayers EoN. 368	Posted - 2013.05.27 00:50:00 - [2] - Quote LAV are really good right now. You can run a 100% BPO load out and just call in a free LAV get some kills and ISK. If you wanna spec and spend a little cash can prob spend less than a fully suited Proto suit and do just as good if not better.
DeadlyAztec11 One-Armed Bandits Unclaimed. 360	Posted - 2013.05.27 01:12:00 - [3] - Quote Cool beans bro. I went 19/1 with a scrambler pistol on my AV class. Killed 5 heavies with it, though one of those I smacked him to death with it.

Haven't tried it out yet, but I have a feeling my LAV could probably tank an orbital. I threw an AV grenade at a logi LAV today. Believe it or not, the grenade had the AI of a blaster installation, and it ended up OHKing the driver, without dealing much damage to the LAV itself. I ended up hacking it, but unfortunately all of the nearby reds were running AV....
Sleepy Zan Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 2259	Posted - 2013.05.27 01:47:00 - [10] - Quote 9/0 is not a success story.

On a semi related note anyone else annoyed we now have three different BPO saga's yet not one methana.

Had a PC match today, had a limbus running around on the enemy team (who had the misfortune to be griefed uni'd), fired a shot at it with my ADS proto accelerated missile, OHK'd the driver. Simply fantastic.
fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 296	Posted - 2013.05.27 03:13:00 - [14] - Quote I run a non stop lav/SL/SMG I am the uncontested king of the road, any lav that pops up I pin down and blow up, any AV I run over or gun down with my smg(one of the better guns in the game if you know how to use it). that said LAVs don't win matches if the ground team can't carry it doesnt matter how many lavs you have.

Otoky DIOS EX. Gentlemen's Agreement 102	Posted - 2013.05.27 08:39:00 - [17] - Quote I love this kind of storyes, you know why? Because sometimes I switch my sniper gear to militia AV gear (proto gallente assault, 3damage mod, some profile damp and armore, militia swarm L) and going to LAV hunt. Usualy im in the top 3 at the end of the game cos in skirmish you dont have enough bullet (with 2 nanohive) to destroy all So... Please use more LAVs guys.

The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 290	Posted - 2013.05.27 10:21:00 - [19] - Quote I popped 4 Charys today. I have a logi suit with an uplink, compact NH and a set of proxs. I set my mines, uplink and hive and then wait in the road in the middle of my mines. When the LAV starts to mow me down I cook an AV nade and let the proxs do their job. I can't remember the merc's name but he went like 16/4 and I was all four. At the end of the battle I was fighting him on foot while he tried to run me over, I think he had tunnel vision. Prox mines work and they are the gift that keeps on giving.

Thats why I write in every LAV threat that proxy is a niche role atm cos just few player useing it and LAV and Tank users are just not focuse on it.

Another Heavy SOB TRUE TEA BAGGERS EoN. 77	Posted - 2013.05.27 10:43:00 - [21] - Quote gbghg wrote: If you go logi LAV your the closest thing to immortal in this game. Haven't tried it out yet, but I have a feeling my LAV could probably tank an orbital. Had a Charbdyis chasing me today, got into cover. He gets out, and gets splatted by a squadmate in a MLT LAV. So of course I steal it. It was pretty well fit, 2200Shield 843Armor, Basic shield booster, basic passive shield resist, basic recharger, CPU extender and an ADV PG/Shield and charge booster, I forget what it's called. I laughed as I sped by tanks and installations, chuckled as I tanked militia Forge guns and swarms. Even destroyed two more of these as he continued to call them in. My gunner couldn't finish him off with the missile turret so I'd wait till his repper was cooling and ram him with mine active, doesn't count as a kill to the game, but I know I killed him lol. Ended up 19-0, I stole it right at the start and never lost it. Was some of the most fun I've ever had, felt damn near invincible.
The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 291	Posted - 2013.05.27 10:46:00 - [22] - Quote I enjoy going into ambush wnd just killing vehicles. I use all standard gear and have little problems with vehicles.

That's not a good fit. Perspective I guess, My Blood Raider saga is nothing but militia mods as I have Zero vehicle skills. Hell I can't even fill the slots on my saga So to me it seemed a decent fit. I guess in the grand scheme of possible fittings with appropriate skills it is probably less than average.

I hit a limbus point blank(he was running over me) with a lvl5 op/Prof Grimlock 2xDamage mode and I couldn't kill him.He went 35/1.I am not saying nerf him.Jam saying give me back my 3high slots on my heavy suit and let us deal with him.
