One issue I have in pub matches is the imbalance of teams towards pilots. It's very frustrating when a team has 6 pilots (lets says 5 tanks and 1 ads) when your team has none. Infantry vs vehicules is and should be 2, 3 or 4 vs 1. Are we expected to have the team to go full AV, letting the 10 left mercs of the other team owning all NULL canons ? I think we should balance team towards pilots.
One way I though is to actually separate pilot and mercenary role. When tagging a game, you must choose one of this role :
- Mercenary can only call out LAVs
- Pilot can call out any vehicule
In the current 16vs16 players format, a team could be split in 12 mercenaries (2 squads) and 4 pilots. Each team can only bring 4 non LAV vehicules (to avoid abuse). Another way would be to have variable team balance depending of how many pilots are tagged (the more are tagging, the higher the ratio pilots/mercs is). |

As usual with good idea's on the Forum, this may end at the bottom of the pile 
But your 100% right here, this game will never be balanced when a team can overload a map with vehicles
I'm not saying large Vehicle fights shouldn't happen, but we need a new mode for that
In all regular gamemodes there needs to be a limit on Vehicles ... Not just Ambush

no why do you want limits on vehicles  , we need more equiptment to destroy them with, like some tank busting airships or summin,
id love to see a battlezone full of tanks,
they need to go mag style 256 players in a battle, all out warfare

What if tanks took 2 vehicle spots in a match?
and when they catch you, they will kill you. but first they must catch you

There Is No Matchmaking In Dust (tm).
There never has been and there have been no signs there ever will be. The last time they Said they were upgrading the matchmaking we got Scottie. So, what you are asking for - not gonna happen. 
We have asked, pleaded, suggested and requested that matchmaking become a Feature of Dust. Thus this forum placement.
All for naught thus far.
Welcome to Dust.
And so it goes.

What if someone wants to play as a pilot for some of a match but then changes his mind and decides he wants to go infantry instead? This is why vehicle recall was introduced in the first place - people got annoyed at having to protect their vehicle the entire match even if it turned out they didn't need it.
How about we instead fix the problem by balancing vehicles and AV, balancing large turrets and infantry and bringing out a full suite of racial vehicles and AV?
Too many suggestions on this forum try to fix the wrong problem by looking at the symptoms rather than the roots.

Thank you, very well said.
This effectively means that a major part of your ability to change roles in match is being arbitrarily removed to suit a minority.

That idea takes away a bit of the chaos that is supposed to be Dust. You're supposed to adapt to changes in the battlefield with whatever response you deem necessary. Say that there is are several tanks/dropships roaming around. In your version, I, as a merc who hardly ever uses my piloting skills except for in opportunistic moments or times of need, would be possibly screwed because I couldn't call in a tank to help deal with the problem. However, in the current system, I am capable of calling in whatever it is that I need. Now yes, Infantry AV gear is flawed, but that makes it even more important that we should be able to use whatever resources we have at our disposal whenever we want.
