With all these threads complaining about LAVs, I think its important to make it clear that not everyone has a problem with them. I don't really understand the rage over them, or how some say they are ruining their gameplay experience. So what they're a a bit tougher, not that big a deal in my opinion, and I don't think a nerf is needed. The militia ones can usually be destroyed with 3 AV grenades (and AV grenades come in 3s so no problem), the higher tier ones are stronger (as they should be for their price), but still far from invincible. A free swarm launcher fit and nanohives is all it takes to deal with them.
I may be in the minority, but I really don't see the problem. |

1/2 the death taxi drivers are disgruntled tankers and deep ship pilots, pissed off about CCP's hate for their respective vehicles to the point that a free jeep has more field longevity over their ISK/SP investments. Everyone told them to "Adapt or die." They did the previous and anyone dumb enough not to spec into AV is doing the latter. I call it poetic justice.

Problem is that many of us have invested hundreds of thousands/millions of SP into our AV fittings to go Prototype and Militia LAVs are surviving it. It should be difficult for a Militia variant to hold up to a Prototype, but as things currently stand they will indefinitely survive at least one shot of almost anything if they're fit the right way.
Advanced/Prototype AV Grenades require more than one and this is intended to be the last measure of defense as far as AV is concerned. If the vehicle is THAT close, they deserve a high damage kick in the ass. Unfortunately, considering it takes more than one, there's an offset in the SP/ISK requirements and the balance between the two.
Prototype Plasma cannon usually takes 2-3 shots byself.
Proto Swarm Launcher can -theoretically- one shot an LAV but that's on the assumption that all missiles hit, it's a terrible fit LAV and it took a bit of damage from bumping into terrain along the way.
Hell, most Railguns can't even one-shot an MLT LAV.
The issue is inevitably that it's ISKless and SPless and it's effective at killing Prototype gear, offsetting the risk/reward scenario. You should be taking a higher risk by using lower tiered gear, not become a one-man death race. |
