Everything but the chat would be a disadvantage for the pilot so why enforce an advantage on him? Some people prefer the realism or imersion over the kill score. Why not enable autoaim because some people aim like aces? Everyone plays differently and for different reasons. Leave the choice to them - no one disables these things on accident.
As for your balance problem and the chat. An enforced chat window will not solve this issue at all.
If anything then the servers need an autobalance feature but if people overlook the imbalance they will also overlook your chat messages.
Also, even if the numbers are even it doesn't mean it's balanced. As mentioned above player skill might still be very different. Either because some prefer immersion over killscore or just because they don't have head tracking, crazy rigs, hall sensor sticks or just not the tactical knowledge and experience.
So I voted no. I want to decide. In my opinion it doesn't much sense to me to be honest.
