The big problem with limits is that it can stop certain players from taking part fairly. I am a dropship specialist. If you limit the number of vehicles too much then I may often find myself in a match where I cannot use the items i have skills in. In this case I am forced to use militia suits to go against much better suits.

I am lucky though in that I have enough SP to have a proto suit or two I can use to complete in a game when I am not using a LAV, Tank or Dropship. But many do not due to the large SP needed to skill vehicles. My AV specialist character does not face this issue. On that character I can always field my strongest Swarm launcher or forge. On my Vehicle guy team quota often leaves me going for my second best option.

Consider if we limited the number or Combat Rifles in a match to 2. Would that be fair? what would those players with only skills in the CR do in that match? A typical vehicle player has poor suits. In a too strictly limited match where they cannot use their chosen profession they may leave.

Tank spam is an issue, but I am not sure a strict limit is the solution here. Is the issue the number of tanks or is 7 tanks only an issue because the maps are small? or cover is limited? or that the player count is too low to allow a strong enough infantry responce? Tank imbalance is a deeper issue than just raw numbers. That said some way to balance it with the maps and sockets we have now is needed. Is a strict limit the solution? Perhaps on a map by map basis. I think we need something else though.

Galdor; Is it fair that one set of players cannot field the gear they want when eveyone else can field whatever they want every time? Even for a week (which is a totally unrealistic comment btw)? Also just because you can do something does not mean that others can. This game should be fun and fair for all.

Should someone who has decided to go into vehicles on a new character have to split their SP into suits and guns as well as vehicles while a new player who want to just go guns does not have to split their SP?

i dont like restrictions perod so to me vehicle or infantry only modes are crap ideas

So 7 tanks is more people than 9 infantry? Having a tank doesn't magically increase the maximum player count.

If we all spawned in are tanks in the beginning then it would be fair but usally the team with the most tanks out on the field first wins, if your trying to call in a tank and a madrugar with ion cannon is chasing you to the redline I'm sure you would change your viewpoint of the number of tanks allowed.
