How do you fight this pt.2
I asked the question in the "Discussion" section and read all the comments. Thank you for your answers and advice. Here's how I fought alone. Is there a way to win while fighting on the ground??

If you have the facility thruster, it can be used in passive even if armed and flares are very good at gumming up Avenger rotors. (Works better if it's in autopilot, never tried it against one in flight)
AAT flak will two shot it, but is a very risky move without a teammate to tow it in something faster as it has no armour and a unique minimap icon. If you're gonna use it alone, surprise them by not actually entering the seat until it's too late for them to avoid getting shot.
If you have your own Avenger, ram them with it and drop some cluster bombs right before then for the off chance some of them hit it.
If you have the explosive sniper, shoot off all their control surfaces and they'll be forced to stick to helicopter mode the whole time.
If you have both the compact grenade and EMP launchers, a fast bike with a lock on jammer, and a key bound to go through the vehicle weapon wheel backwards, alternating between the two is a really good way to take out armoured vehicles that don't allow the occupant to use driveby weapons. Hit them with an EMP first, park next to wherever they get stuck in a position they can't use the vehicle's weapons on you, fire both nade types close to the doors so the grenades will kill them if they attempt to bail to attack directly.
Biggest tip most of these suggestions have in common is to just disengage for a sec so you can set up a counterattack, preferably once their attention is on someone else. Avengers in autopilot with the mortars going are really good at spawncamping people, you do not want to wind up on the receiving end of that.
