It seems that vehicle users have discovered that the new matchmaking favors the use of vehicles. I have a couple of theories as to why, but perhaps someverification from others first.
Because, that's why.

In my theory, Mu would actually be a detriment to Pilots, as they tend to have a higher K/D Ratio than most Infantry. In turn, this pits them against very skillful players. And most relatively good players have some form of Anti-Vehicle weaponry at their disposal.
But, I am intrigued and would love to hear your theory.
Nothing elaborate, I think most pilots are not full time pilots. Their efficiency rating, Mu, is based on all their play time, not just their vehicle play time. Vehicles make them much more efficient so they are being ranked low while able to play at a higher level.
I also think vehicles have a multiplier effect not captured by kills or WP. They are able to disrupt and harass players and force them to react rather than to act. You see a tank roll up onto an objective and chase everyone off all the time, he might not kill anyone but everyone is forced to flee, hide or die and this creates opportunities for his team. This isn't captured by WP or KDR analysis and W/L has too many factors to isolate this.
Either that or I just hate those *******.

Just to be clear, it is not a complaint. It seems to me that the new matchmaking is working well and that is a huge overall improvement. The only ones who don't seem to like it are guys who are finding out they weren't as good as they thought. There are matches though that are anomalies though, they are complete stomps and it isn't clear why. My observation has been that vehicles are ruling the field in these cases. I don't know if that is a cause or effect, if it has something to do with the Clone Challenge or if it is just perception bias.
Because, that's why.
