If you didn't know already, any blaster that shoots at a LAV deals damage to the driver regardless of where they actually shoot them. I've heard from many sources that this is a 'glitch' and from many other sources that it actually was intended, as CCP's way to deal with Logistics LAVs.
If you ask me, that is the stupidest thing they could have done. They have the mindset that if something is overpowered that it's the actual vehicle/dropsuit/weapon/modules fault and not core game mechanics or lack of some weapons, dropsuits or modules.
My proposition to make logi LAVs do their job:
- Keep resist as is, the LAV needs to be able to take fire to be able to stay alive and work for it's team
- Give 5 WP for every target killed while being scanned with the active scanner module
- Change all the shield transportation and remote armor repairer, to instead use a lock on feature(That is very clunky I might add) in favor of a 'heal player with lowest shield/armor' and give the driver some damn warpoints for it.
- Remove blasters doing full damage to people in the vehicles, that is just plain stupid.
- Allow the LAV to deploy without a turret, no reason to have a gun on it for a logistics vehicle. But if the driver wants to use CPU and PG for it, let them.
Keep in mind this is coming from a mostly AV player, that runs an alt with vehicles that just wants to see a logi LAV do it's job.

I'll leave a story of a battle I was in the other day to show that they can do their job but it screws the driver over.
It was a game of domination, on Line Harvest. We were in a four man squad and the other team had two full squads. I'll be honest they were stomping us for a large portion of the map until we got our tanker down the main road of the map with a fellow squad mate in his limbus behind him keeping him alive with the remote armor repairer. Was a beautiful sight watching his tank eat volley after volley of CBR7 swarms, forge guns and AV grenades.
Now, we still lost but that wasn't the point. The LAV driver kept the tanker alive.
He ended the game with 100 points....

I'd be fine if it was the trajectory was lined up to the driver, but if a blaster hits the very front of the bumper with splash damage it does a ridiculous damage per shot |

I understand that running people over is a serious issue, and I do want them to make it harder to do it. It's just the resistance of the vehicle is needed if it's going to be helping it's team.
Tired of driving around carting squadmates to objectives, keeping enemies lit up with the active scanner, trying my best to even use the horrible shield transporter, in some cases saving clones and get 2 kills and 250 WP. |
