I think its the wrong attempt to add more weapons, recipes, items or tanks for the late game. You can play in the late game with quite different strategies until a point where it's better to get Titan and Frost Lasers. Normally thats at a point which has exceeded the two hours mark. I don't think that adding additional content for that time frame will improve the gameplay.
Imo it would be better to make sure that the game will finish earlier, so there is no need and chance to get those weapons and tanks. I know there are some people who like long games. But the majority simply doesn't have the time or will to play that long. The ideal game length would be around 0:45 and 1:15 hours. But especially in a balanced game, BT tends to last very long, with more than 3 hours or so. Thats because its very difficult to siege an enemy base and additionally, most people don't know how to efficiently attack and destroy the enemy base.
So my suggestion would be to change something, that makes sure that the games can be finished faster. Of course, I havn't got any really good ideas, because then, they already would be impemented. I already have one idea, but I don't know how you guys will like it, but here is it:
Most of the time, the biggest problem is, to get all the way through the enemy base to their HQ and to destroy it. One solution could be, to place the building you have to destroy for winning, more in the middle of the base, and the enemies are spawning behind it, not in front of it. This would obviously make defending way harder, but would also ensure that the stronger team wins, when it pushed that far. I've played a lot of games where the enemy push stopped right in front of the HQ and the enemy was pushed back again, because of player factories and such.
I really believe this could improve the overall gameplay of BT and would make suggestions for more end game content more or less obsolete.
