The fact that when your vehicle is down to half armour you can just hide around a corner and recall it, then bring in a fresh one - that is BS. You should only be able to recall a full health (or at least 75%) vehicle. Recall should not be used as a method to save your vehicles from death - it should be a way to get rid of a vehicle you no longer need on the field without leaving it to some random blueberry and having to look after it the entire rest of the match.

I'm well aware that there has been horrible imbalance in vehicle/AV combat but that is really quite irrelevant to how this game mechanic works. so don't go getting yourselves all up in arms about it, vehicle users.

I know infantry can easily change dropsuits while damaged and even under fire but this is something that also needs to be changed. That said, infantry do at least need to get to a supply depot to change suits; vehicles can recall anywhere at any time - the only restriction I believe they have is that the vehicle can not be on fire.

Let me guess, you weren't good or quick enough to destroy a vehicle, and the pilot was able to escape in time and recall their vehicle?

It's a problem with you, not the game.

This individual would come charging into the battlefield shooting like a mad man and soon as he would take damage and almost lose the tank he would run into the red line. He would call in one and soon as it landed he would recall the other and rinse and repeat. Over and over this went. Hard as we tried to destroy this D*** tank, as soon as he took a certain amount of damage off he went. Tanks should not be able to be recalled if they have over 50% armor damage.

So by your logic if you are in the middle of a fierce battle and a tank roles in and makes things worse. Now you switch to AV fit and begin to take said tank down. You take a sniper shot to the head or SG blast to the back. Now by your logic its my fault the tank is now able to get away because I could not dodge a sniper bullet or SG to the back Try taking out a tank that has 8K+ EhP with swarms and whatever else you can throw at it, only to see it hit the gas, turn a corner dodging your swarms, then to make to its red line and disappear. Only minutes later come roaring back to do it all over again and again. The only way I can stop a tanker from doing this, is to snipe them or destroy the tank before it touches ground. I get a sick satisfaction from watching a tank burn and seeing =150 for vehicle destruction and +50 pop up on my screen Do not eat the yellow snow
