It's actually a great change for the VHFs. Though the missiles should be kept out, but having both MR+CD is definitely a good thing looking at the ts/tz'ing capfest this mod has become.
Just a few days ago 2 (or 3?) VHF and 2 bombers were bringing down a ts/tz'ing Solaris-GB and that took around 10minutes of focussed fire without much other action to look out for, which isn't, regardless of how you look at it, any balance at all. And that weren't unskilled pilots either.
