by suckers do you mean the growth between the joints of stem and branch
Do you mean "Remove the side-shoots"? That's normal practice, isn't it? (At least, in the 40-plus years I've been growing tomatoes, I've never not done it.)
I have 9 Sungolds which I have not been able to keep under control due to their position, and one which I regularly remove side shoots from. The 9 have produced lots of very small fruit, but the sideshooted one has produced more and of a much larger size. (I've never heard side shoots called 'armpits' before - it's enough to put me off eating tomatoes) ;)
