hooc order Deep Space Republic Top Men. 499	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:26:00 - [1] - Quote Anyone else notice how easy it is to kill the driver of a moving LAV with the turret on the Baloch? I killed like 8 drivers yesterday and at least 2 of them were driving away from me at the time....in fact for the first 4 or 5 i wasn't even really aiming at the driver. I have shot out more LAV drivers yesterday then i have with an AR or HMG during my entire 3+ months playing Dust. Has the Baloch turret always been like this? is this new to 1.2?
Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 426	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:32:00 - [2] - Quote It's always been easy to kill drivers with small turrets/explosives for some odd reason. Now if only they were that good against infantry lol. P.S:I think it may be the splash damage from the small turret that's offing them
Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 196	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:34:00 - [3] - Quote Scatter blaster turrets can shoot out LAV drivers pretty easily. A little too easily. I dont know why. Was riding with an LLAV and he was following another LLAV, I was shooting the back and managed to kill the driver even though I wasnt aiming for him.

All turrets on LAVs you mean?
BatKing Deltor Tank Bros. DARKSTAR ARMY 79	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:37:00 - [6] - Quote I think turrets recently got a very small blast radious that highly effects lav drivers specifically. Oddly.

All turrets on LAVs you mean? No - I mean that installations can shoot the drivers out of any LAV.

Xender17 Intrepidus XI 260	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:46:00 - [10] - Quote Its incredibly easy with large blasters.

xLTShinySidesx Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 467	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:47:00 - [11] - Quote This is new since 1.2 the hit box on LAVS is broken... AV nades will kill the driver as well now leaving the vehicle still alive for a free hack and vehicle. It's like the driver absorbs all damage dealt to the vehicle first, and then the vehicle will take damage.

That's not true at all this has been around for quite a while, i agree that there is something wrong with the hitbox though. The lav definitely takes damage as well but there are times when splash damage seems to hit the player rather then the vehicle. For example having the front of your tank rammed by the lav, and it exploding,and having the front gunner killed and the top gunner injured. Weird
Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 197	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:57:00 - [13] - Quote They should give LAVs strafe to avoid this problem, make it faster than forward drive since because.
Sollemnis Aelinos 89th Infantry Division 58	Posted - 2013.07.08 21:57:00 - [14] - Quote can someone tell me if im able to knife drivers out of their lavs?
Vin Vicious Capital Acquisitions LLC 155	Posted - 2013.07.08 22:00:00 - [15] - Quote It's not that it became easier its because people are actually investing in turrets finally

Honestly this might be the perfect LLAV killer. Cheap, no SP needed and anyone can use it.
xLTShinySidesx Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 471	Posted - 2013.07.08 22:06:00 - [17] - Quote AV nade blew me up, vehicle barely damaged, tank shoots the back of my vehicle and kills me barely damaged the vehicle, lav rams my lav head on killing his vehicle leaving mine scratched but kills my gunner? Blaster installation shoots passenger side of vehicle killing me vehicle barely damaged. I skilled into llavs on Friday and stopped driving them on Saturday after being killed driving 8 times while my vehicle was left for them to hack. What a waste of sp..
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 687	Posted - 2013.07.08 22:21:00 - [18] - Quote LAV spam fixed. Life is good.
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 687	Posted - 2013.07.08 22:22:00 - [19] - Quote I killed 3 LLAV drivers yesterday with AV grenades too.
Soldiersaint Reaper Galactic 67	Posted - 2013.07.08 22:25:00 - [20] - Quote Stay strong my fellow lav comrades although the enemy gains new ways of destroying us in the end we will smash them under the weight of our tires

Yun Hee Ryeon Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 25	Posted - 2013.07.08 22:26:00 - [21] - Quote "It's got an exposed driver" seems like only a partial response to the complaint, "But it's got better defenses than the average HAV." Admittedly, having killed the driver makes me feel much better about his ride surviving.

Alucard Fang Sand Mercenary Corps Inc. Interstellar Conquest Enterprises 154	Posted - 2013.07.08 23:54:00 - [24] - Quote Hopefully CCP will nerf them to hell soon. Temporary Fix... LAVs no longer damage/kill you? Sounds good to me. Imagine the rage, when people like Soldiersaint try to run over you but it has no effect.

Well. You know consistant CCP is with weapon functionality, right?

D3LTA iKidd'YuNOT D3LTA FORC3 Inver Brass 0	Posted - 2013.07.09 02:52:00 - [27] - Quote https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=92132&find=unread I think this post correlates to a different topic. My theory is that because the LAV is moving faster, it increases your dropsuit hitbox so much that it becomes bigger than the LAV hitbox. Therefore leaving you more vunerable to being killed out of your Sweet Ride.
DumpsterJuice Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 27	Posted - 2013.07.09 03:10:00 - [28] - Quote The driver hitbox seems to have changed when they implemented the ability to lock on to the driver with a repair tool

Same here, and twice in one game with my alt. Funny too, cause I was actually using the Logi LAV for something else other than making hood ornaments, and when I actually try to make strategic drop-off points, the installations can one or two shot you by apparently hitting you in the head. Seems the turrets got smarter; so did I. Time to find something to do while I wait for CCP to fix anything in this game (and by that, I mean ANYTHING).
