Drop suits are heavy and made of advanced, tough stuff.
So if every time you ran somebody over, you received damage to the LAV, it would fit the lore.
The heavier the suit, the more damage.
I couldn't hit a rabbit with my car without needing to make sure there's no damage. Couldn't imagine a HUMVEE or APC today being able to slam in to a 1tonne+ heavy suit scratch free. |

I have 3 people I squad with. each have a main and an alt. and none of us have AV grenades.
The k/d ratio of people driving around running people over seems dis-proportionately high for the SP or equipment slot cost of having AV.
Free LAV vs SP invested in grenades and using up a slot for this one issue that doesn't make sense in the first place.
Especially for my heavy bros (I don't play heavy). |

This is what you get for breaking my HAV's. Fix them, and fix the camera' on the remote reppers, and I'll stop using them as murder taxis. Peace, Godin 
You couldn't assume I was only talking about free LAVs?
Of course if you invest in your LAV, the damage from running over a medium suit would not be noticeable. That's what makes this solution elegant.
It scales.
Free LAVs will hit 3/4 med suits before being destroyed.
Your upgraded LAV could charge in to 5 heavies before it needs repairs.
If a light/scout gets hit by an LAV, free or SP-invested, then they need more situational awareness |

If dropsuits are heavy/"made of advanced tough stuff" then why wouldn't LAVs be made of the same stuff or even stronger stuff?
They certainly are.
IRL comparison is a truck hitting a motorbike. The truck will still need repairs after the impact.
My suggestion is scalability to the damage. so SP-invested LAV drivers will take less damage due to stronger hulls or shields. |
