The Light Attack Vehicle (LAV) represents a new generation of mobile support vehicle, an agile and effective unit, adept at assisting both infantry and other vehicles on the battlefield with its cadre of electronic warfare subsystems and all-terrain maneuverability modules. Whether employed as a scout vehicle or as an anti-infantry unit, the LAV is a ubiquitous part of New Eden's modern battlefield.

Wrong kind of "hit and run".

How so? Either way, it's drive in, kill someone, drive out before AV can react.

Wrong kind of "hit and run".

If you remove LLAVs and buff the scout ones somehow, I would say yes. Some people may just want to be the best driver in new esen, drifting over the bodies of their enemies.

I never understood why logi vehicles were so hard to kill, but the infantry can be killed like wet paper. LLAVs need to be less difficult to kill. It should take only one, MAYBE 2 AV grenades of equivalent meta level to pop an LLAV. It would force real drivers to think about their maneuvers instead of just bull rushing a fire fight.

All I can say is hit and run

Hit
And
Run.

I do plenty of hitting and plenty of running beep beep killer cabbie behind the wheel.

Armor reps rep armor, not structure.

That's the problem, DUST is far too primitive to support actual structure damage on vehicles. At best we can expect a HULL hp bar, but that won't do anything unless impacts immediately damage the hull.

Anyone who thinks an LAV hitting an armored dropsuit (particularly a heavy, even more so if he's armor tanked) shouldn't be damaged simply doesn't want anything related to physics to relate to their death cab for noobie. I killed a full HP heavy yesterday with my free LAV by literally just barely tapping him with the corner of my LAV. BAM, over 1000 damage, and I was going maaaaybe 10 mph.

Don't defend the LAVs lack of physics. Abuse it, sure. Just don't defend it.

Sorry what had that to do with my post . I have never stated in any thread that I dont support some form of impact dammage on my llav as ill just rep up and continue ramming

Scout LAV are useless , they have same stats as FREE LAV but they more expensive.

If LAV's are currently working (being used) as intended then **** CCP. If not then keep on abusing the LAV's people; the more you do the sooner it gets nerfed.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the nerf may already be locked in. Better run as many people over as you can before 1.3 gets here.

Come to think of it, should infantry really have free reign over the battlefield instead of riding in LAVs and dropships? HAVs aren't the cost effective way of controlling them.

Structure

Damage.

This game needs it.

You actually like having 8 LAVs trolling around the field, don't you?

ok i am Mortedeamor i am proto av specced ina logi lav i have proto forge prof 3, and proto swarm prof v. av specs running in logi lavs is the best defence cost effective vs logi lav swarm. my rigs run 500k vs tank millions

You haven't driven one.

I have an Abron with a prototype blaster, and it absolutely kicks ass.
The description doesn't tell you it, but it has more than increased acceleration. It also has higher turret tracking speed, and MUCH better handling.

Short Answer

No

Correct answer should be a vehicle that provides infantry support and transportation. Current the modules that help infantry, sensors, repairs, and killing the hostiles isn't working.

The only thing that works really well on the LAV is the controls and physics (of itself not interacting with the environment) right now.
