There are two limitations:
1) that the upgrades are mostly tradeoffs, and some cancel each other out (armor-for-speed vs speed-for-armor).

2) Resources.

Most of those upgrades would cost you resources, some more expensive than others.

If you're rich in resources you can pull those specialized tanks all day long. If not, then you'd have to be careful what you pick.

And if you want to run those upgrades more, send your squad/outfit to secure the resource type they require

Downside and balancing fact of an expensively upgraded vehicle is ... that everyone will put them as their primary target.

that being the case you might switch it over to the Juggernaught upgrade (more armor, less speed) so you can soak up that damage.

though I think ideally most every vehicle you see would have some sort of upgrade, whether it be a swapped out weapon or a bit different handling characteristics.

Two sides on the targeting, one offensive other defensive. If its expensive and you cannot afford to lose it you better protect it.

Good to hear. I really hope they make each faction have different upgrades for their vehicles.
