The reason it would be fair (at least to me) to take the peashooter ammo out is because the Prowler requires two people to gun, where other tanks need only one. This also ensures that whoever is gunning for the TR or VS tank doesn't get a leg up - where NC tanks require the gunner to switch between fire modes, the TR and VS can fire BOTH weapons simultaneously and do additional damage. It wouldn't be quite fair to have two sets of tanks who can unload more weaponry into a tank that has one gunner switching back and forth when he runs out of ammo.

The 20-mm ammo takes up space that could be better suited toward more ammo. (I never looked at ammo loadouts for VS Magriders) As you are well aware, the TR tank sacrifices stopping power for faster rate of fire. Meaning it goes through ammo more quickly. Removing pea shooter ammo gives all the other tanks a chance to pack more ammo as well.

At least, that's the way I see it- which is a decidedly warped view of the way most people see things.
