I must disagree. I don't think it'll be anything like BR40.
I believe new characters will not have access to any vehicles ('cept maybe the ANT).
I believe there will be several weapons that aren't accessible to any untrained classes that will be to one or more after earning some BR and spending some training time... several classes might be able to unlock the punisher after a little training for example.
An untrained AV trooper might have the empire-specific AV weapon, but not the decimator. A heavy assault troop might have to train quite a bit (and earn some BR) to access the rocklet/thumper.
Light assault might not have access to jet packs right away... simply being much faster on their feet than the heavies. If both start off with only the empire-specific assault rifle, there will be some appeal to the additional speed.
Engineers might not be able to build turrets/mines/sensors untrained... starting off with only a sweeper and a caulk gun.
Lots of potential examples.
But at the end of the day, we really don't know... and won't until the classes are revealed along with their skill trees. That might take a while.
