I'm currently against changing the recall mechanics until the sockets/maps have better supply depot placement as there are a lot of sockets (in particular the sockets in the Gallente Research set) that supply depots are on top of buildings, behind railings and other obstacles that prevent a vehicle from being able to resupply and rearm. This applies in the redline as well. It essentially forces a vehicle specialist to recall their vehicle if they run out of ammunition and while it's discouraging that many are using it as a form of, as you say, getting the expensive gear off the field when in danger; I think it's a necessary evil until there are better options to rearm.

It's fine to have a recall mechanic. 100% fine. But being able to do it this quickly?

Yes, the speed is the issue.

I understand it's frustrating but there is a healthy length of time that they cannot call a vehicle in after it has successfully be recalled. I think a better solution would be to increase the time it takes to hack the vehicle and reduce the time it takes to call another one in, basically reversing the timers. Would this be acceptable?

It should be redone to require an RDV, but until then the time should be equivalent to doing a counter-hack on an objective.
