I've commented elsewhere that I'd like to see LAVs take damage when running over infantry, to the tune of the amount-of-armor-hp that the given infantry has at that point.

step one: nerf MLT LAV's

step two: make it to where at low speeds, light frames fly a distance, and lose a 1/4 of their total eHP, medium frames get pushed a little, and Heavy frames stop the LAV; medium speeds kills light frames, makes medium frames fly and lose 1/2 of their eHP, and pushes heavy frames a little and makes them lose 1/8 of their eHP; high speeds kills Light and medium frames, and makes heavy frames fly and loses 1/2 of eHP; high speeds with nitro kills all suits.

step three: Remind all mercs not to play in the street.

step four: ingore any LAV is OP threads after this.

How much dammage do you think you would do to a humvee if it hit you at 126mph. Im willing to wager its not verry much.

Humvees have a max Speed of about 70 mph. I also don't think that anyone here is wearing a dropsuit in real live. If you want a comparison with real life: Place 3 horses (which should have the same weight as a heavy with HMG) on the road and try to run them over with a humvee at max Speed. This will most likely end with your car on the car dump.

That's an incredibly stupid idea.

1: If we take actual damage from hitting people, LAV's won't be a option anymore, as people for some reason likes to stand in the road (which is any open area). We drive on the road, so we have to run people over, otherwise, we would die.

2: You guys like to stand in tight groups, so it would potentially kill the LAV, a vehicle, by roadkill. Just no.

3: Like I said. If your in the road, you're going to get hit. Stay the **** outta the way.

Not yet a +1 from me. i would say that full speed, an LAV would kill any suit. also if an LAV has enough time to hit full speed before sending you into space, then its your fault for not using cover and obstacles in the first place.

an AV grenade should knock an LAV off course depending on where the explosion was.

losing speed 20%/40%/60% for Light/Medium/Heavy would be sufficient for a first attempt curb murder taxis, as speed is an LAVs survival and needs to keep it, losing speed would make the LAV much more vulnerable.

LAV going full speed at 4 mercs, two are carrying AV one light, 2 heavies, 1 medium. LAV goes for the crowd kill at full speed. after first heavy it will be going at 40% speed, hits medium in same run, it does not kill medium but gravely wounds the medium, but the LAV is now going at 27% or something of its top speed leaving the AV carrier an easy kill, even easier if they were to try to hit the medium a second time. which may kill the medium but they would lose an LAV

i do however think MLT need to be slower and have less acceleration, its a free ******* vehicle, it should suck horribly

Actually, one time maybe a couple weeks ago, I was messing around with the scout LAV to see if the difference in speed/acceleration was anything legit (it's ehhh). Anyway one guy was out in the open and i'm in my little LAV so heck yeah i'm gonna hit him. I had stage one nitrous burning and I hit the dude so damned hard I took a few hundred damage to my shields and went up on the front wheels in a DEAD HALT. Mind you this guy was in a caldari medium frame... so i'm sorry, taking damage from DUI kills is already in place (Try it and see) but apparently you have to be going retardedly fast (remember, scout lav, fastest one, with nitrous burning on a straight, which I didn't mention) but I have yet to see this with my so called 'murder taxi' the limbus, or the baloch. Not that i'm trying much though, Lai Dai packed av's scare the holy hell outta me in anything with wheels/treads/thrusters, especially seing as how I run gallente vehicles so you know...

This isn't me being a girl and saying nerf the av 'nades into the dirt though, because if someone can beat you with a cheap trick... Well, i'll be one to pick up that cheap trick

Something needs to happen anyways, I'm sick of people joining games and not even fighting, just running people over constantly. Go back to Grand Theft Auto already.

I do not agree with numbers, but I like the core idea. I think that a speed to enemy size ratio would work best. Also size of LAVs should matter too so the slower beefier LAVs are not penalized and the faster LAVs still get roadkills too.

I think that the idea for LAVs to take damage when impacting a player makes sense but would have to be tweaked for balance. I think that it makes sense, look at what happens when you hit a deer at 40 mph in a car today. The mass difference is huge yet the deer still messes up the front end. Perhaps they could add a module that reduces impact damage. This would allow non mlt LAVs to become roadkill machines while also reducing the annoying overuse of MLT LAVs.

How much dammage do you think you would do to a humvee if it hit you at 126mph. Im willing to wager its not verry much.
