With the tech tree expanding every update, the BRs are becoming crowded and certain weapons/vehicles are becoming obsolete. Here’s my suggestions of BR changes/shifts as well as foldering some copies/variations of weapons. If a player doesn’t like a certain weapon/vehicle they shouldn’t be forced to unlock the same weapons/vehicle afterwards. But if they like that item, giving them the option of unlocking a slightly better variation should be done within a folder. Here’s hoping that BR 4 becomes relevant and BR 3 only faces up to BR 4 as tested previously. My suggestions are also to make APCs and motorcycles accessible to new BR 1 players as well as some earlier LMGs and rocket AT weapons. Feel free to pick apart my list and comment if you agree or disagree and I’ll happily breakdown my reasoning for my opinions.
