God no to MAVs right now. We need to figure how to balance the current game. Throwing a whole other subset of vehicles would be crazy. Everyone would get a mav and the game would turn into MAV 514!

Rather than remove, create different types of ambush which are mixed with all other ambush types.

At OP: The addition of all-vehicle and no-vehicle game modes would alleviate a great deal of pain.

I think there should be a delay of maybe 30 secs from match start that neither team can call in HAVs or Dropships. I think half the problem with Ambush right now, is the poor deploy and beginning of the match lag. When the opposing team has 4 tanks LANDED and rolling across the field before I could even deploy in, let alone call in a counter-vehicle, that can seal the match right there. None of the tankers on my team can call any in at that point and now it's my team of 16 infantry, 4 or so of whom are spec'ed into nothing but vehicles, versus 5 tanks and 2 dropships + Infantry.

If there were a delay, both teams would have an equal chance at being completely deployed and be required to take up strategic positions to call in vehicles. I understand that I likely gain this advantage as much as I am defeated by it, but that kind of game winning advantage should not be left to chance. This is of great importance in Ambush, but I think all game modes could benefit. This would also increase the importance and proper use of LAVs.

Ideally, Scotty would be able to identify the roles that players could fill on a team and ensure each team has a balanced number of potential tankers, and everything else for that matter, but that is wishful thinking.
