.... AV > LAV's ....

See look at that, AV and HAVs kill LAVs, and here I thought they were impossible ^_^

For everyone with LAV problems, the title is your solution.

(Get a damn soma)

try killing a logi LAV...

And I have a solution to yours.

Drive around while you struggle to turn the turret > Get out of LAV > Forge Gun + Packed AV Grenades

Alternatively, provided you do kill the LAV

Respawn > Call in another LAV > Deal with you first

LLAVs with 4k shields and 50% resists are so dumb.

Oh and driver with AV nades = dead Soma.

Can't stack 4k shields soz, you can do about 3400 but you lose your booster. 2.9k seems about max for a legit setup.

3.5k or 4k shields is almost the same. You don't really need a booster as the shield recharge is good enough.

LLAVs with 3.5k shields and 50% resists are so dumb.

Recharge rate on all vehicles is awful, so no, for the LLAV you need a booster, or a red line to keep running back to to recall.

You know what is dumb? AV Grenades that do as much as an entire swarm volley.

'tf would you use a shield LLAV for anyway? Use a Limbus then just hit up the base Supply Depot whenever it gets even remotely damaged - that's what the pro's do.

Face it Jason, you're defending the damn things but you're the only person in the WORLD who honestly thinks that these things are even remotely balanced. Hell even the Imperfects disagree with you and that surprised even me - and I used to hate them (though lately I've found myself agreeing with a lot of their prospective points....)

It is certainly correct that a Soma can demolish a Baloch.

It is certainly correct that a Madrugar can demolish a Limbus or Charybdis.

But a soma vs. a limbus? No way.

And now when we realise you NEED LAV SKILLS TO GET TO HAVs, we find the problem to your thread title.

For whilst a tank can defeat an LAV of similar meta levels, getting that tank is far more excruciating SP-wise than getting that same LAV.

So why go that extra step into HAV skills, when you can fit an unstoppable LAV?

I found remote explosives and some patience to be more effective. (Just wish proximity mines were equally as effective)

Proxy Mines need a buff, but it scares me when I'm racing down the road and get hit by about 12 Proximity Mines, I'm dead of course, that if we do buff them, people will be able to instagib any vehicle on the road lol.

I'm sorry I blew up your Chary, but it had to be done.

Okay, so basically what I'm hearing is that an HAV with a Scattered Blaster will -NOT- kill an LAV, but the driver within and that's by sheer technicality because the hit boxes are wonky.

So, instead of proposing a legitimate AV path that anyone can use you literally have to spec into Vehicles in order to handle up on the LAVs.

Am I the only person here who thinks this is just INSANE?

That's kind of the point of having them. Back when everyone complained about free murder taxis, I would camp common routes with a gauged nanohive and mines, collecting free kills. Damage is fine, but we should have access to more carried like in Chrome and better scaling from 6 at standard to 12 proto. People want logis to use more equipment, give us more equipment to use.
