I think there is a lot more could be done with the battlepass. First I think it should include more xp boosters and more of the premium cosmetic unlocks (name decorators, pictures, decals/decorations/skins etc etc). I also think it would be better with more levels but faster tasks.
I think it’d be really great if your tasks were also made up of short and medium term tasks worth 1 or 2 stars each. We already have weekly tasks for the longer term and they should continue as a full level.
For examples of your 3 tasks, 2 would be doable on 1 or 2 rounds- (minutes, kills, captures, win etc). One should also always be to play 1-3 rounds of any particular campaign/side (this should then be used to funnel the whole player player base into the same campaign at the same time with the sides split equally - use it to populate the lesser populated campaigns/sides).
The third would then be higher kill counts/specific weapons/weapon categories/class, engineering scores and vehicle kills etc. Something that would take several rounds to complete but be worth 2 stars.
Maybe even take this and expand into more than just 3 simultaneous tasks and more than 9 per day.

In terms of cosmetics, no. Personally I really enjoy the fact this game’s battlepass only (for the most part) gives useful items.
As far as challenges giving more stars, that’s already a thing. They aren’t listed amoung the others, but it if you go up to your profile, and check through there, there is a new challenge that opens up each week. It gives 3 stars. It usually takes a fair bit of time to do.
As far as capping out at 9 stars per day, this stops players from blasting through the battlepass too quickly, and keeps them coming back each day. This helps keep the servers populated, rather than full of people at the start, then dead later on.

Again the devs should look at how Sea of Thieves handles its season pass. None of this locked in daily bullshit.
You have daily tasks (that actually change daily unlike here), weekly, monthly, and seasonal tasks.
Seasonal tasks are a very wide array of tasks that are the same every season, effectively covering all the bases to give you credit for everything you could possibly do.
An example of a seasonal task would be something like “finish 50 battles this season”. Something that’s easily obtainable to anyone who actually puts time in.
Meanwhile a monthly would be something like “accumulate 5000 points in each campaign”
Better players can do it faster, but anyone can pull it off.

Cosmetics I mean purely to add variety and flesh it out a bit. What I’m suggesting would probably mean more levels but slightly faster progress.
I’m aware of the weekly task as I’ve mentioned - what I’m suggesting is something in-between. I’d like to see some that can be completed in 1-3 rounds for 1 star and others that could take around 5-10 rounds for 2 stars.
I get that it’s to limit people blasting through - I’m not saying remove the limit, just increase it. Battle pass could help alleviate some of the grind issues - still get a feeling of a progress while you grind everything else.
They should put cosmetic tickets in the infinite Silver Troop/Weapon Orders & XP Boosters loop at the end of the battlepass. Those would actually be good to infinitely work for.
