Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
I was playing with my friend a few days ago and at the beginning of one mission our LAV flipped upside down unexpectedly. I learned from him later that it happened after he hit the LAV with a smoke grenade. I haven't been able to recreate it myself but noticed that the LAV does jostle quite a bit when you bounce a smoke grenade off it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
We've received a few reports on the AAV getting stuck on its path following the Team Lead, and we'll note this one as well. Can you verify that throwing a smoke directly at the AAV caused this?

That did in fact seem to be the cause. I think he bounce it off the ground once and then it hit the track and flipped it.AmperCamper wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:10 am We've received a few reports on the AAV getting stuck on its path following the Team Lead, and we'll note this one as well.

Re: Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
I also had it in some matches (248 Successful missions), that the AAV gets "stuck". Like in the 'Apartment Building' level (sniper level), many times when the AAV wants to turn left into the alley (trying to go to the main objective) , then it gets stuck, it seems like it gets stuck against some objects lying on the ground.AmperCamper wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:10 am We've received a few reports on the AAV getting stuck on its path following the Team Lead, and we'll note this one as well.

AAV stuck in "Jolan Public Park". Here you can see what I mean. AAV get stuck on the bump, the yellow white bump.Roachclip wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 4:16 pmI also had it in some matches (339 Successful missions), that the AAV gets "stuck".

The AAV was not hit, black smoke is from the building behind.

Re: Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
there's another issues with the AAV wich I noticed but I could be wrong and have to double check..
when You recall for reinforcements, the AAV stops there with the tailgate open, and does not move anymore instead of following the ususal route and provide further support

Re: Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
This has always been the case. Knowing this, I will lead the AAV down the road to it's end point before calling in the reinforcements. Doing this, you do have to double back but at least you can get it into the position needed.massifontana wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 1:44 am there's another issues with the AAV wich I noticed but I could be wrong and have to double check..

Re: Flipping the LAV using a smoke grenade
Suggestion: Maybe the AAV could lift the ramp to not quite closed (to denote reinforcements have been called) but still move on. After all the driver and gunner are still in there...massifontana wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 1:44 am there's another issues with the AAV wich I noticed but I could be wrong and have to double check..
