Changes proposed are intended to make the LAV an infantry support platform and transport vehicle with the implementation of Speeders.
LAV speed changes should be made to accommodate speeders.
LAVs should have a forward facing turret shield.
LAVs should have a similar small turret system as HAVs in that the movement of the vehicle doesn't affect the turret.
Logistics LAVs should be made slower to give incentive to its Infantry support role as both mobile cover and a suppression platform.
Starter LAVs should be removed and an Aurum only BPO provided.
(Maybe) Militia LAVs should not be able to withstand prototype AV options.
Turret should be able to be removed to accommodate more room for passengers to a total of four. |

Make the Logistics LAV repair tool actually effective before you start talking about making changes to its base stats. I'd love the use my Logi LAV as a support platform, but since it's basically impossible to use the rep tool, I'll continue to use it as a means to run interference. |

Confirmed that it's stupidly hard to be an effective support unit with the LLV. The troops you're supporting often times wind up being confined to wide open spaces due to the limitations in place on LLV repping. (It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is a problem for group survivability) |

Logistics LAVs are harder to kill than tanks, either tanks need way more HP or Logistics LAVs need less HP, or maybe they just need to be slower. |

"Ok hold on guys, I see your shields are down so let me rep those for you! Just gimme 25 seconds to lock onto all of you.....almost done.....ok activating rep now! Oh...your shields came back on their own already? ****...."
I'll say this once and I'll say it a million times. Vehicle Logistics SUCK right now. Make the rep tool on the Logi LAV an AoE bubble like a Nanohive. Keep the duration, rep amount, and cooldown all the same. Give a bonus to either range of bubble, rep amount, or both per level of Logistics LAV.
Locking onto a single vehicle to provide reps is one thing, but locking onto multiple infantry when they need to dance around the avoid sniper fire, while you need to move around to avoid snipe fire, and giving it a 2+ second lock time....uhg, forget it, its not worth the benefit. I want to be able to roll up to a group, flip my reps on, sit there for a couple seconds to top their armor or shields off, then be on by way.
I guess until then I'll just keep running people over so I can feel useful  |

the reason they are harder to kill is they are faster there isnt anywheres near as much time to start AV'ing them as they drive by as opposed to tanks
LAV's survive with their speed
tanks..... just dont tank as well as they should..... |
