Replace LATV 30mm with TOW Missile
So as we know, the LATV has a weapon option that’s pretty annoying to die to. The 30mm promotes people to camp on hills or cliffs and is able to hit people at very far ranges with decent splash, like to exposure overlook from the dome above D flag cliff.
Because of this, people want it removed or nerfed, and so far DICE hasn’t mentioned it at all. (Most likely it's not a big issue like the Flying Transport Tanks or the nightbird.)
DICE could nerf it in the damage falloff department but I think have a more interesting idea that shares the idea that the LATV doesn’t need the 30mm but changes it for a better weapon that requires some skill to use
By replacing it with a TOW:
- It inhibits players to camp up top hills to get easy kills.
- Gives a defensive weapon against other vehicles, especially heavy armor
- Can be a AA method with practice with TOWs like in past titles (OHK even attack choppers)
- Alleviates one main issue in HZ as the 30mm is very lethal in limited respawn gamemodes (also can help fight then tank boss in HZ)
- Mostly keeps the light transport idea around with lighter weaponry.
I know the Bolte has a 30mm as well but the bolte has it's own drawbacks that prevent it being used like the LATV, such as the better and team friendly MAV and Brawler share the same slot and has more guns than the Bolte. maybe later on the 30mm can be tweaked as needed.
I find the 50mm to be fine as is so no changes here.
