We get this thread (or one about medic mechs) every couple of weeks.

The poll always goes the same way.

Maybe so for the moment; but as the years pass by and the MechWarrior base develop an inevitable taste for the re-introduction of objective based missions, they will look towards components to make up those objectives. Resupply is one such area; it introduces a number of mini objectives such as locating the ammo dump, getting the loader to the dump in one piece and finally defending the rearming site while those beautiful LRM 20's get loaded into your Depth Fire Catapults.

Hopefully we never go back to ammo resupply. It was a major money sink in WoT and a major Pay2Win factor with the far superior premium ammo. The cynic in me believes the 'new ammo types' that are mentioned occasionally will simply be superior premium varieties that will also herald the return of resupply sometime around the release date. Ballistic boats are already going to be inferior options come 12v12. In WoT everyone has to reload their ammo, in MWO energy weapons have unlimited shots and become a stronger option as the game progresses, not that anyone would call PPCs underpowered.

So, so very many assumptions.
