LAV employment

The purpose of the LAV in reforger is protected transport and fire support for your infantry element.

At no point should you allow the enemy to closely approach the LAV. Keep this in mind as you maneuver.

25 MM Ammo glitch on vanilla LAV

Important safety tip for LAV gunners: if you spend all of the 25 mm ammo of a type and rearm the gun may not register the new ammo and think it is still empty. So do not fire the last round of your 25 mm types.

Jockeying

"Jockeying" is a defensive maneuver where the LAV retreats and repositions to a new shooting position

The order given would be "Driver jockey right" in this example.

ANNEX D - NINE RULES TO HELP YOU STAY ALIVE WITH THE LAV III

1. Do not move close to, and especially do not stop close to destroyed friendly vehicles. That spot is obviously in the enemy's kill zone, and he has a weapon system that is ranged in and watching that area.
2. If you would use a landmark, an object, a crossroads, etc. as a direct fire target reference point or as an indirect defensive fire reference point, so would the enemy. Stay away from it and, in particular, don't use it as a rally point.
3. Look before you move. Take the time to search the ground before the next bound
4. When searching the ground, if possible, use more than one type of sensor—visual and TI by day and TI and II by night. They are complementary and increase the chance of your seeing the enemy before he sees you.
5. Jockey after engagements. As soon as you fire, you draw attention to yourself
6. Don't crest unless you absolutely have to. If possible, try to position yourself so there is something behind you—vegetation, another hill, etc. so you are not silhouetted. If you must crest, do the actual cresting as quickly as possible and, if more than one vehicle is cresting, simultaneously. While neither is good, you are better off on the forward slope than the crest.
7. Listen to your driver. He knows better than you what terrain The LAV will and will not get through and when you must slow down and lower the tire pressure.
8. Remember that, as infantry, you have the ability to dismount and investigate. A 17-tonne vehicle is easier to spot than a motivated infantryman.
9. A 4,000-metre line of sight allows the enemy to shoot you 2000 m before you can shoot him
