Make the LAV take damage based on the speed they hit someone, and make the dropsuit take damage based on their suit type.

Heavies should put a dent in the LAV, depending on the speed the LAV is going. The heavy will sustain quite a bit of damage too, but it shouldn't kill him.

Medium suits damage the LAV, but to a lesser extent, and are most likely flattened at 80mph. Up to 30mph no damage is done to either and the LAV just moves the player and gets slowed down. Perhaps a little damage to the medium.

Scouts should be flattened by an LAV going 50mph, but even still that LAV needs to be quite a ways to get up to speed. Scouts do the least amount of damage, but then again they can dodge a charging LAV much easier.


No need to remove free LAV because that wouldn't solve the problem. I'm not opposed to killer vehicles, but I am opposed to vehicles that do damage that to me seems extremely unrealistic. My medium frame should be able to withstand an LAV charge from 10 feet away, hell it withstands the heat of my plasma AR...

If CCP fixed the Logi aspect to LAV's so they get WP for repping tanks, MCRU spawns etc.... you would see a lot less of the "murder taxi" scenarios going down. As it stands, those of us whom speced into the Logi LAV's can only get WP playing the murder taxi game. I'd be doing alot less murder taxi if I scored WP repping a tank and distributing mercs around the battlefield. If CCP makes any of the changes you requested and doesn't fix how LAV's are credited WP for their participation in a true Logi capacity then everyone who used up SP to spec into them is gonna be pissed off and asking for a respec. I know I will be.

As for damage, speed and all that you mentioned i would agree but not as drastic as what you describe. But, if you make suits cause damage to LAVs when rammed then how about LAVs can ram tanks and cause damage too, possibly even causing the last fatal blow to a tank. I'm willing to sacrifice my LAV to take out a tank if it helps my Corp win the battle.

I got a better idea for you though, how about you stay off the road and you wont get run down. Personally i don't see LAVs as a problem in PC matches. Maybe you play too much pub.

Just bunny hop whilst screaming at your TV like a maniac, or tell the AV runner in your squad to get his **** together, or do your boys a solid and invest in AV yourself.

In my experience vehicles going at 1mph is gods way of thanking me for speccing AV

Who the hell sux so bad they get run over by an LAV goin 1MPH?

Hey guess what,,,,,,,,,,,,your a noob.

We can jump from the MCC, and extreme tall Buildings, but a simple strafe by a LAV and your dead, even if you try to run/jump out of its way, and it only hit you on 1 of your toes, you still die.


I must admit i enjoy driving a LAV and just making road kills all over the place its FUN.
But i also think it sux that we can do it so easy, and i also have to admit that i HATE when it happens to me. hehe

Too much fabric rather than metal in the dropsuits, it flexes and you can see the mesh if you look close enough. Bumpers also have contact shaped charges in them that blow goats, sheep and mercs away from them when they are within an inch of the bumper so as not to chip the pain.

This.

LAV warpoints are heavily weighted to death taxi abuse. Especially if you don't have a good turret gunner in your squad. I am skilled into Logi LAVs also, and I almost never use them for repping or MCRU because there's no warpoints to be had from that. If I'm going to risk an expensive Logi LAV, I better be making the warpoints to score a higher reward for the investment.

CCP, I hope you're reading this and give us some other, better means of scoring warpoints if "death taxis" are going to be "fixed".

I agree it doesn't make sense that I die getting bumped by an LAV traveling at just 2 mph.

Do it CCP

NO. Stop being being butthurt, consider this, then be quiet.

I'm not butthurt, I have AV grenades. LAVs are going to get nerfed, and I would rather see them take damage from infantry impacts then being turned back into walking coffins.
MLT LAVS are not even hard to kill (2 STD AV grenades destroy them), the problem is that LAVs kill way too easily; very little speed is needed to kill someone by running them over, and the LAV takes no impact damage from it. They get impact damage from hitting rocks and walls, but not heavily shielded and armored mercs. Simply tapping a merc at minimal speed should not result in a kill.

Furthermore, nuh-uh, you be quiet.

If There so easy to kill, then why are you even complaining? This would just have people suicide in free suits in the road. It would be impossible to do transport, or getaway driving (as I do) this way. Having my idea, would although make it harder, would make the situation fair. You are butthurt tat you got ran over. Go to your corner! 'hops in Maddy' Or do I have to melt you?

I only said the MLT ones are easy to kill. Standard and especially logi LAVs are being abused to get cheap easy kills which ruins gameplay for many players. They are light attack vehicles, but the attack part refers to the fact that they have a turret; they aren't meant to be used as just a means to run over people.
Your point about people getting in the way on purpose to kill LAVs sounds like a silly cheap excuse. Its not like one player collision would blow up an LAV, plus LAVs are much faster and maneuverable than infantry, so if you get your LAV blown up by hitting players enough consistently, then it would be your own fault.

Quit resorting to accusations.

that is the worst idea ever....the meduim would blow up the lav i think ur number r really wrong

now players could jump in front of tanks and get run over by them and watch tanks blow up...
