What if your body is lodged in my wheel well at slow speeds? Shouldn't you die then?

Dude you cant dodge an LAV at at a full stop 5 meters away?

You could survive a real life crash that fast, even though you dont have a high tech suit
but whos to say the car doesnt have a even greater technology or a technology made to run over people........which it obviously does.

Your frustration is apart of the adaption it will pass.

No I should not!

Dude you cant dodge an LAV at at a full stop 5 meters away?
ive been tapped by lavs going fairly fast and i only get damaged are you suggesting touching an enemy LAV will kill you?

Dude......When someone is trying to kill you
Serious Injury=death

Not as a Heavy, no!

Oh yeah,........... well heavies suck dude sorry ta be the one to tell you

Wow you are dense!

That is a matter of opinion and has nothing to do with this thread.

There are some metrics involved. I miss people often enough that I have to come around for a second or third pass. Usually I end up doing a quick 180 and coming right back at them from only a couple meters away. This doesnt give me much chance to build up speed and I do not always get a 1-hit-kill, sometimes you gotta run em over a couple times.

Additionally there are many instances where the person gets "caught" on the hood of my car and is simply dragged along for the ride rather than dying. There are other times when you clip a target using the side or rear of the vehicle and this *rarely* results in a kill. I see where you are coming from but I think all in all things aren't so bad.

They probably had Sentinel suits filled with Complex plates.

I agree a LAV ramming you from a complete stop 2m away from you killing you at 3mph is really stupid. Don't tell me I don't have the time to roll on the hood unhurt. You go over me? I got a metal suit with 10mm thick plates, don't tell me I should be insta-killed. I should get some damage, but you should get stuck on me.

I agree at high speed, it should insta-kill, and get substantial damage on the LAV. Hitting a Heavy suit should feel like hitting a bear on the road.

I am sure when CCP will fix this (and they will), we will see another bunch of whiners asking a respec and cry all their tears because they used Mil SP into LAV to specifically do the dead-taxi in a LLAV.

Yeah thats my opinion but im willing to bet statistically most people agree with me

Your the one that brought it and keeps bringing it up, dafuq?

takes hands off balls then /facepalm

And it is relevant to this thread, Just cuz your heavy class sux balls and cant run doesnt mean my LAV gets nerfd

If you don't like lavs try this.

Step 1: light or scout suit.
Step 2: side step the LAV
Step 3: repeat step 2 til the driver jumps out in frustration
Step 4: gun him down
Step 5: ?????
Step 6: Profit ( in the form of lulz)

Who asked for a nerf?

Dude go find somewhere to be other than my thread!

Better yet go get good at the game so you don't need to rely on a lame ass crutch to get kills!

Well sorry to go off topic but heavies are situational. Catch a heavy in the compound/"city" or any other close combat area and you will get smashed. Catch a heavy in the open, which only bad heavies would do, the he is easy prey. I think heavies are great but only in close combat and confined area, like how it's meant to be used I believe( on the defense).

Well guess what noobtard, I havnt admited to using LAVs to get kills so better yet nothing.

Bye!

And this is exactly where the 5 meter away LAV instakill happens to me. I'm not an Idiot. I do not just run out into an open field. If I have to travel more than 20 meters I call in an LAV to get me there.

Legitamate rebuttal:

I never die from slow moving LAVs, I always survive those low energy impacts

Its a weakness to your class....

See when you think an LAV is moving slow its actually moving very fast, Just because your moving so slowly and your seeing the LAV take along time to get to you it seems like its moving fast. But to the scouts and Assaults around you who got out of the way and are looking at the vehicle from a diffrent angle.They can tell the car is moving fast.

Things slow down when your about ta get run over.

Dude these LAVs have thicker armor than your 10mm dropsuit.

These futuristic LAVs are like miniature turbo charged tanks of today on steroids........they can survive a swarm of rockets what makes you think a bear in the road is gonna do "substantial" damage?

Its a weakness to your class....

Lol. I was about to right something, but your not even worth arguing. Anyway, I'll just drop this here and say it doens't need to be fight over, since CCP agree it's an issue. Guess you're going to ask a respec then lol.
