One of the things that's *really* missing from the play balance. . . imho. . . is that, unlike in MOOII, higher levels of the same tech aren't *smaller* than their originals. Yeah, I know that isn't strictly realistic(modern tank cannons are far larger than their forebears in WWI, to defeat today's armor with additional mass).
High-tech weapons can be seen as smaller:
A PPB I does 30 damage in a size of 30KT
A PPB V does 60 damage in a size of 30KT
So, you can replace 6 PPB I's with 3 PPB V's and get the same amount of damage (at pointblank range)
So, PPB V's can be viewed as half the size of PPB I's!
