They removed high level ammo and armor from the flea for a reason. I seen a post earlier where the guy was acting like ap20 and 7.62BP being out of stock had such an affect on them that they'd rather wait for trader reset instead of playing with lesser ammo. This seems to be flying over alot of peoples heads. So I will give my outlook here. You don't need to run top tier ammo and armor in every raid. You should run things you are comfy with and adapt with what you have. I have been using HP this wipe and it's done amazingly well for me. The idea that everything needs to be top tier all the time so you can chad around on every single map every single match you play is one that is ingrained in lots of players due to past wipes. With the recent updates we've had I believe BSG will go even further with it. Removing OP crafts and making things like m61 and bp FIR only. Going into a match with your best armor and 200 rounds of igolnick you've found over a few weeks should be a treat, not a constant. You can camp traders if you'd like but that isn't going to stop a player better than you from ps'ing you to death.
