Introduce militia AV grenades. On starter fits if possible.

The issue is an LAV can be used with any fit, but a swarm or forge requires dedicating everything towards only one enemy. Until you hit grenade 1, there is not a lot you can do to be both combat effective and have defenses against free lavs.

The ease and lack of risk in roadkilling is the root issue, but this would be a nice simple bandaid that could literally be implemented overnight.

Sounds good, but standard a/v grenades do nothing as it stands now. So I am not sure how militia a/v grenades will help.

It's easier to just remove free LAVs.

AV is already OP, grenades aren't AV, stop being lazy and use a weapon.

I agree with Noc. At a minimum the AV starter fit should, you know, have AV kit. Duh.

Give the noobs a set amount of LAVs to get started with, after they are used up and they have to purchase them, there will be less spam. But a small starter amount would allow them to try them out and build funds until they can get some isk built up.

The issue is not the free LAVs, they merely compound the problem. The lack of equivalent tools (things that don't gimp your fit but protect your personal space) is a severe imbalance that can be rectified promptly.

You want to be able to have your cake and eat it to. Have someone in your squad that is AV, have AV yourself, or stick to cover. I just don't see some serious issue here other than some people get butt hurt over getting run over. I think it adds to the game, you gotta watch your back, it's your own fault if you get nailed

i would prefer that they make the mlt lav bpo a scrub academy item only...upon leaving the scrubberry the new players infinte baloch should become limited. and then eventually disappear or revert to mlt isk equivalencies so they can pay to restock it. there should be a mlt av nade for everyone ...this also help scrub in academy its a murder taxi fest over there lolz. also .....i think upon impacting a heavy ..the lav should take damage...for example i go ona pedestrian run over spree...they're bodies dent my lav....if a heavy can tank his hp...over a mlt bpo lav...hp and have enough afterwards to suvive the extra explosion dmg....also i believe a specc heavy would has resistances ...he should survive. when a proto heavy get run over by my proto charybdis it really wouldnt matter ...as i have my resistances to counter his and way more hp. but a scrub lav would be screwed...if an lav charges through a group of five suits and hes mlt...he should take impact dmg relevant to the total hp he just hit. counting resistances. this will also push more people to spec LAV in all other aspects i absolutely love lavs ccp good job. they are by far the most balanced vehicle so far. and vehicles are as im sure u know the area dust 514 sucks most in atm and for most of its production solid work and improvment from both the closed beta and chromosome awesome. i think you should enter some new control types for the control junkies but ive adapted and i love it.

Some good ideas here that I can agree with

Someone in my corp suggested the LAV should take damage equal to the HP (or a fraction thereof) of the dropsuit hit.

Those Caldari's would mess up an Onikuma Impact, and I know heavies with more HP than some of those freebies.

Imagine getting hit by an LAV, and the thing just explodes... with the heavy walking out of the wreckage. = )

So what are they? I don't know what made me think they were. Oh, it might have to do with the fact that their call "Anti Vehicle" grenades.

AV grenades aren't something you're meant to solo vehicles with. That's why it takes more than one proto to take out a MLT LAV.
