Recalls should be RDV calls, they should take time, and you should have a cooloff period to summon a new vehicle after a recall. Additionally, you should not be able to initiate a recall within maybe 30-45 seconds of combat, either doing or receiving damage, so that recalls can't be used to escape combat. Ok, then you cannot change suit at supply depot if you have been shot in the last 50 seconds, you cannot change suit if say you are running heavy, you ran 3 minutes to a supply depot but you have 200/500 armor left and no armor repair. If you recall your suit should stay at the depot for 20 seconds so you can get shot at and enemy has chance to kill you.
You like to ***** and moan but even the 3 seconds it takes to navigate the menu at a supply depot is more than enough time for a person to get killed since they are a nice stationary target asking to be shot in the head, maybe you would know that if you got out from under the security blanket of a tank
Needing an RDV to come pick it up and whisk it away when you recall a tank is something thats perfectly fair and makes recalls far less abusable without adding any extra conditions

Don't want to risk losing your proto suit anymore? Change suit at supply depot
I'll forego my ability to recall if you can't swap suits at supply depots either.
I know right, its not like supply depots dont get blown up, its not like we are sitting ducks changing a suit, and we totally carry supply depots on our backs so we can change suits anywhere we want
You guys need to come up with an argument that actually has some weight behind it and not "Waaaah I dont want to have balance, you guys have supply depots and even though that has limitations its totally fair I get to hop out of my toy and Q up another one that will be dropped off by the time I recall my old one"

I think I've recalled only once so far in 1.7 to save my vehicle, so any changes won't affect me. Also, we are completely exposed when we have to do a 5 second hack to recall, so we can't recall anywhere we want as you make it seem. Just saying.
You are out of the tank yes but you can still move while recalling, Ive done it myself, and being able to strafe around a big piece of cover while being able to take out a gun at any moment is worlds away from being locked in place with a menu in front of you either hammering cancel when you see hit indicators or hoping the suit manage to switch to isnt full of holes in the second of vulnerability you have while switching
