Why can't the LAV-AD scout?

Is it so hard to enable scouting while Hydras are not equiped and disable it when Hydras are ? …

Lav-ad is useless vs tank without them so let it be usefull for its team.

I finally got to this miraculous vehicle. In br 10 I expected that it would be worth something. people here say that I have a good machine gun, but basically I bought an AA, not a light combat vehicle. it won’t target anything, you have to search the sky for everything before it finds you and destroys you. I’ve played a few hours but this game stinks of strong bias, you fight for a long time to get a good AA, since chaparral is another piece of shit in the US arsenal and yas just nothing, another huge disappointment. one disappointment after another, I’d rather play br 6 where I have more fun than in stupid br 10 propaganda.

Light tank, or IFV, missiles were thermobaric designed to take out helicopters. So it makes sense to get scouting, while the LAV-AD is, well, a LAV-Air Defence.

It’s such a terrible machine that I can’t even research it, it can’t do anything at all, you’re looking for something in the sky that you can shoot down, even if I find a helicopter, it won’t aim at it, I can’t destroy anything with a machine gun except for a fence, but this BR is a mega tragedy, it’s a shame that they put something like this in the game, another great machine from the gjn workshop

i’m a bit late but,

  1. The LAV-AD and Wiesel comparison

so your saying that because Wiesel is a 7.0 and LAV-AD is 10.0 but i has a gatling gun and hydras that i can magically fight Russian MBTS frontally. the lav has around 10mm of armor similar to the Wiesel but the Wiesel is 1/8th the size and also the LAV-AD is a much higher tier meaning it fights better tanks and also better players.

  1. The LAV-AD and the 2S38

clearly in real life they are both SPAA-with facts to back this but the 2S38 gets APFSDS but the LAV-AD doesn’t which it actually can. also the 2S38 not only gets scouting but a drone as well. yet the LAV-AD gets nothing. explain that how is that realistic. the LAV-ADs survivability is also way worse as well.
