As I have stated many times in the past, including advocating for there removal from ambush in my popular analysis on swarms back in march, and again in this segment, on my secondary swarm video in may. It's an idea that has met with community support. There have been three recent threads on this topic and the majority consensus was to remove them.
I have stated this in general a few times, such as here :
Judge Rhadamanthus wrote:And lets not forget the new players. Ambush is the game mode most familiar to them. All FPS have some form of team death match. Its a natural place to start. No odd flashing red and blue letters; just dude on dude action..(read that as you will).
But what do they find there. Blaster tanks ripping all to shreds. I duna about you, but that's not fun for the new guys.
And also here :
Judge Rhadamanthus wrote:I think all vehicles, of any type, should be removed from ambush. The maps are just not suitable for it. Consider too the spawn system. AV works best when the AV players, who are weak against infantry, are defended by their team. A good AV player, sets up and a high vehicle traffic area and keeps zones of importance clear for his team to work free of vehicle attack.
But with a spawn system that constantly keeps changing the AV cannot choose a position to engage because the battle front keeps moving. With the spawn changing they can suddenly find that the enemy is behind them. The maps are too open and small so tanks and drosphips can cover the entire map in short order, and kill AV before they have a chance to reposition.
Take them out. So many great infantry fights are ruined by a tank popping up and lol killing the entire team. It is just not that fun for the infantry.
So I agree with Tesfas view on this one.

Are you saying that you feel Advanced dropsuits are non viable as a suit for ambush in this build? If not exactly what do you mean by this?

What you describe is the NPE after Academy. The issue you are experiencing, and describing is one of being in a match in gear that you feel is not competitive as your SP pool is too small. At the same time you advocate allowing powerful Tanks and dropships into that environment. I fail to see how this does anything but cause the very issue you feel is unfair. Now we have a situation where low SP players not only have lesser equipment, as you acknowledge, but tanks roam the land like kings.
CCP have stated that we will not get client side changes. New game modes are out of the question, as is splitting ambush as that's a client side change. Map changes are out of the question too. Perhaps if DUST was not on shutdown better fixes could be made. But we are not in a position to fix ambush properly.
Vehicles have no place in ambush in this phase of DUSTs cycle. I use vehicles too, and we have to honestly acknoledge their power and the impact it has on other players. My right to use my dropship as I wish ends the moment it spoils the game play of the vast majority of other players. We are at the moment in ambush now.

No. Far less clearly and with less complex words than that.
