How is the team balance going to be handled in 2042?

Backstory:

Yesterday in BFV I had one of the worse game days where in like 8 rounds I had on the other side at least one full platoon squad of reeeeeealy competitive players (the type with more than 50 kills in a CQ round as infantry) as well as the same squad being on the same team in subsequent rounds and even getting supplemented by more experienced players from other platoons. Meanwhile the were were like 5 people in my side with some decent performance and the rest were just getting slaughtered. Also most of the self respecting players who ended up in our team would quit to avoid the stomp, perpetuating the difference

Supposedly the "team switch" button was removed in BFV for balance reasons, yet people could still switch team if they had friends on one side just fine and the xbox players could always switch somehow from what I hear. I believe we can declare the removal of the "team switch" button to be a failed experiment since the stomps are still the same as in previous titles.

The removal of the team switch button just made it harder for a good squad to reliably move over to the underdog team to spice things up (if they had any sense of sport).

So:

What is going to happen with the team balance in 2042, will it be the same as BFV without any scrambling and no team switch button?

Will it be some attempts to do Skill Based Match Making?

Will it have some other attempts to help people fight players of their caliber (or their squads average  caliber) or will it just be the same usual stomps that one will play they are not stuck on the receiving end of?
