... but Acquisition is pretty heavy on the HAVs, and the other modes have 5+ minute waits.
Shoot scout with yes.

I'm also less keen on the 1v10s.

I've been playing Dust in the mornings here on Battleserver:America since 2013. Was surprised to find all of my chat channels sparsely populated when I signed on this morning, but not a big deal as I tend to run solo anyway. Tried to play for a couple hours. Signing off with zero desire to try again tomorrow morning.
Acquisition: Stompers farming with HAVs.
Other Modes: 5+ minute waits.
Do you really need 3 HAVs and a Thales to hold a hackpanel from a team of largely unorganized randoms?
There are two types of vets left; there are the stompers and there are the casuals. One of these groups is taking a toll on headcount. People won't play a game that isn't fun, and "not having fun" has everything to do with why I'm not playing right now, why people are leaving matches, and why headcounts aren't growing. But I believe we can turn this around.
Kneecap the stompsquads who are driving away your customers; reduce squad sizes to 4. Continue tuning balance. Give casuals a reprieve by adding a sanctuary for soloists. Somewhere to recoup Isk; somewhere free from stomp-or-be-stomped; somewhere to escape to when the partyboys are stinking up the other queues.
If there were somewhere to play right now which wasn't being farmed by stompers and HAVs, I'd be participating there instead of moaning here. 
Shoot scout with yes.

I disagree with reducing squad size to 4 - one of the best parts of the game is the social aspect. At the same time, something does need to be done about stompsquads. Just not that.

A squad-free mode would very likely help to stabilize/grow headcounts, but I don't see veteran participation rates increasing or match quality improving in other modes so long as the 6-man squad exists.
A nice social aspect isn't worth killing the game over, and social goals can be achieved elsewhere (i.e. 8-man squads for FW and Raids).

But 16 isn't divisible by 6, and that reallybothers me.
What're you looking at me like that for? I'll shank you I will.

I always try to 1. Hear, understand, and if possible exp both sides of an argument. 2. Attempt to find a combat solution to the problem first. 3. If a combat solution to the problem is not possible. Make suggestions for change in the forums.
Try applying some AV and tank v tank to your situation. I played the mode for the first time last night, and was hard on my squad about teamwork and squad diversity.
For a good AV specialist their is no such thing as too many vehicles 
"Anybody order chaos?"

There's more at play here than V/AV.

It's not like we get 16 man teams anyway.

We might if numbers were divisible.
