Combat in war has never been about playing fair. But, to some degree, it had to be fair, or else the other side would never have a chance of winning at all. If they were to even the odds out to a degree, or use their own strengths to compensate their weaknesses, that should always be the point. It's going to be the turning point of that war, whether for good or for worse to either side. If it was to be unfair like giving Kira "super skills" with regards to how he treated Shinn and the rest of the "villains" in Destiny, then it's another matter entirely.
