C.Millz was referring to the old bronze tier. I think I may have been mistaken: I have ran my old bronze hangar in Yamantau prior to the March 24 change, but I often invite random pilots to platoon with me while farming bronze. Occasionally, those random invites have hangars that put them in silver tier, and that may have been where I encountered running my bronze hangar on Yamantau (snow map). If I don't get video of it soon, I'll honor my big fat mouth opening up.

I agree with you, new "low bronze"/Tier 2/Copper does not allow Yamantau, Stalkers (and likely all WP bots, but I haven't tested it yet) or Ag-bought (silver-bought) heavy bots. "High bronze"/Tier 3/"old bronze" does as well as a slight improvement in most pilots' skills and beacon awareness and total damage output on the Battle Summary screen is noticably slightly higher.

I think it wise to concentrate on defining low bronze and high bronze first, using empirical data such as the numbers on the Battle Summary, and shy away from anecdotal evidence that isn't quantifiable. After all, Matchmaking computes numbers (primarily, highest level bot/weapon in hangar); we've figured them out before and we will again.
