They won't do anything to make the llav useful. It will become another useless vehicle like the scout lav, all forms of dropships, and enforcers tanks.
It'd be like if only one or two weapons were viable for infantry.... Oh wait that is exactly the case.
Why do we play this game? |

Do you really think CCP will set things up so that you roadkill one merc and suddenly your LAV or LLAV will explode?
I'm betting it will be a little/minor damage and a slight reduction in speed if all goes well. So that running people over will become a split second risk/reward decision instead of an automatic HELL YEAH! |

Uhhh, it really can't.
The module it comes with is impossible to use. |

I imagine collision damage being all but removed or instadeath lavs.
Dropships used to be really useful for squishing mercenaries but now they explode if they so much as look at the ground. |

Have you tried using the thing before? Unless the rebalance pass does something to address how extremely unintuitive the infantry repair module is in an actual battle then you'll still never see the thing used. |

to be fair, repping infantry with this thing is a royal pita, vehicle's, not so bad, but no wp's (repping shields), you could go the whole match using it for its intended purpose, yet get no points 
theres always time to nerf the hell outa weapons, but simple fixes just get overlooked for months upon months upon months
It does get tiring |

I'd prefer a radial AoE module like the active scanner, if done right it could be very useful in engagements. Also the gallente SLAV while useful, can be very fun with 2 jovians on it. |

My Lav can take direct Forge Gun shots and survive. You really think hitting a heavy guy will crush our LAV's. Modern day transport cars are meant to crumble when they hit things. It lessons the impact on the passengers. |

uprising 1.3-1.4 suit balancing armor vs shield tank reworking. maybe a collision nerf 1.4-1.7 ccp is reworking vehicles that includes giving us a greatly requested vehicle lock. this game is a work in progress and ccp can be a bit slow if you cant hack it while its being tweaked then gtfo. vehicles have been in the trashcan for over a year the horizon on which they are balanced is in sight stop crying. and if you cant stop crying you should stop playing dust until its finished and deal with having less sp than everyone who stuck with it |

I think for the LLAV, it should maybe have a healing AOE of a timer, so it can be driven close to the intended targets without that horrible lock on.
For Vehicle healing the lock on needs to be much simpler also, for tank healing tanks it aint that bad, but drop ships, and there current state, its awful. |

So we can tie their bodies to the side of the LAV?

all they really need to do is decrease the lock on time for the curren LLAV infantry repair tools and add a WP reward for them. Those things are rediculous, make the person you are repairing invincible.
They are also great for repairing the tanks on the field as well, with a good LLAV a tanker can use a lesser repair module and focus more on offense and using call outs for reps when needed.
The current system of LLAV murder taxi makes pub matched a joke, usually each side has 2-3 of them just driving in circles collecting easy kills because they have the best vehicle tank in the game with almost the same HP count (if you include their amazing passive resistances) as actual tanks, while moving at over 80 meters a second. |

They've already said what they are going to do: in 1.4, they will make it to where unless going at top speed, you will just be brushed aside, but at top speed, you will die. now be quiet., and L2read.

Why do we play this game?
I've put this idea out here quite a few times.
Why doesn't CCP rework the LLAV rep tool to be an AOE rep tool instead of this "hey stand still for 3-5 secs and i'll see if i can keep this square on you and THEN !! i can rep you" winky wanky rep tool it got.
Changing it to work with an AOE effect will basically just mean that it'll be a very tanky triage nanohive on wheels.
^^ COME ON !! isn't this an awesome idea !! ^^ |

Tell that to the people I see activating it on their passenger when he hops out so that he can gun down everyone who comes near him while having near-invulnerability until the cycles run out. |
