The combination of one LAD and eight Mosinagans is unreasonable to be assigned to the same battle situation as twenty-seven FG422.
We can use the weapon points system, for example, the weapon of BR5 is now converted into five points, and the rest are analogous.Add up all the weapon points equipped by the player to form the total weight of the player, and use this number as the basis for matching.
Then match the corresponding battle map according to the time when the weapon appeared, for example, Mosinagan 1944 can only appear in Berlin.

A “progressive BR” system seems like a very good idea in theory but in practice it’s very hard to balance out the details.
But let’s first deal with the elephant in the room: “People will just use their BR5 vehicles in BR2 matches!”.
Let’s fix it by ruling that your minimum BR always matches the one of your vehicles. Done.
The main issue I see is that a BR1 bolt action rifle is a lot more competitive against BR5 weapons compared to the shitty BR2 machine guns or BR1 anti-tank rifles.
I foresee that the new meta would be to equip your infantry grunts with BR1 rifles and give the specialists the highest BR weapon possible.
How are low-BR ‘specialist’ weapons like machine guns or AT-weapons going to stay relevant?
Will people still use the more mediocre semi-autos for their normal soldiers?
Will people just abuse this system to solo with their one high BR soldier?
But I won’t deny that this idea has a lot of potential. I’d love to see more bolt-actions in higher tier matches, I’d love to have more ‘build’ options in how I equip my squad and I’d love to see more variety in matches.
And in theory you could even balance consumables with the point system. Want to bring 3 grenades per soldier? Fine, but only if you give everyone a low BR weapon.
A good team of game designers could probably pull it off. idk about Darkflow though…
Then we would start seeing late war guns in moscow and tunisia
Simple, don’t use the LAD and use a weapon compatible with your BR. It makes no sense to have 20 riflemen with the Mosin and one LAD.

This would create more issues than it tries to solve

Similar suggestions have been put forward many times, but DF just doesn’t listen
Considering that they are not even willing to nerf impact grenades and let it to destroy the environment, it is impossible to expect them to balance such a complex BR system.
It also has been debatted a lot within the community so unsure why the devs should add it if like half the people dont want it.

They have their own ideas and have made many modifications that players do not want.
Yeah let me rip apart BR I players with my M1919A6. Perfectly balanced
