Not seeing an exploit, doesn't sound like this is something that can be manipulated easily, nor controlled easily seeing as to do it over and over your squad can't change.
You're also suggesting this is something that others can do - this was a one-off example of what *can* happen every now and then - I believe the OP actually said it was random. Why don't you test what percentage of squad-found games you can play across ten battles that are low-mu (if you can even measure which are the low-mu ones) before talking about plugging holes (lol @ double entendre BTW)
And if others started doing it? Well now you got a 3 "noob" / 1 vet squad on each side do you not? Now the cool fight for the noobs with their vet member pulling officer weapons and showing what is do-able became more strategic, coz now you got the same squad on the red team.
I'm reading about a cool story here, involving some happy newer players who were wowed by possibilities. The fact that some of us who've been around a long time's first instinct here is to say that this is an ego-stroke is a ucking pity.
It's my understanding that this hole is easy to exploit.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that one vet is permitted into every Low Mu match. He is expected to "coach" and "inspire" his side from the comfort of a Madrugar gv.0.
Now put yourself in the opposition's newbro shoes. You're fresh out of the Academy. You see a tank camping a point and mopping up your blue dots. Of course, you're curious and you get close enough to get insta-gibbed. You respawn in your Starter AV fit. Others do the same. You watch in amazement (bordering on disgust) as your team is decimated by a single player, all the while his tank absorbs and ignores one AV volley after another.
Are you inspired by this tanker's awesomeness? I probably wouldn't be. If observed in more than one match, I definitely wouldn't be. I'd think to myself,
"Self, this veteran tanker has no business being in here with us newbros going 20/0 every match. If he did belong here, then the game would've provided us with the tools necessary to kill him. Because that's what games do. Either this guy is cheating, or the people who make this game don't know what they're doing." If I suspected the latter, I'd likely uninstall. If I were leaning more toward the former, I'd take note of the cheater's name and leave battle every time I saw it.
