Britain Naval Tree - What’s left to be added for all BRs

Thank-you to @Morvran for inspiring this post. His relevant post for the British Air Tree can be found here. https://forum.warthunder.com/t/britain-air-tree-whats-left-to-be-added-for-all-brs/42497 [updated_british_naval_tree (1)] Current updated tree design This is a to be updated post for proposals for future additions to the British naval tree without necessitating a dedicated post on each of them to be added to the list. Most ships are in in the forms of the class however specific ships …

Britain Air Tree - What's left to be added for all BRs

THIS IS A WIP LIST. If I have missed anything, then please do let me know and I’ll add it to this list There has been a recent and ongoing notion that Britain can’t get any more aircraft, because it simply doesn’t have any left to be added. This is untrue for every single BR in game, even top tier. For this list, I’m not going to list every single variant for every single aircraft, especially for those we already have, unless there is a notable exception. This list is mostly looking at new Bri…

Would you like to see more helicopters featured in the British Heli tree in the near future?

• Yes, britain needs more helicopters
• No, britian is fine with 4

Now please note this list is WIP and will be updated if further Additions are possible, additionally this thread has a seperate post purely for commonwealth/ other plausible nations (Jordan, Oman etc.) But for other nations is only for nations alreay featured in the UK tech tree, or vehicles with a strong precident to come to the Tree.

if you have a helicopter to Suggest please comment with the Helis Name, Proposed BR and any pre existing suggestions for said Helicopter, also feel free if you want to add a short description of the Helis usage and Armament to save me having to.

BR Placement is purely based on what I think they would have in RB considering their Armament, differences to pre-existing Helis, etc. Many will most likely not be correct

Westland Gazelle AH.1 ~7.7 (unless we can prove it carried more than rockets, if so then ill move it up)

here’s a possible layout for the British Heli tree with South African helicopters also

[Thatz]

Im not sure why you put the CH-136 Kiowa so high BR when it never was fitted/tested with Guided armament, I would think 8.3-8.7 at most since it has LWR, Radar warning, Flares/Chaff etc. or even lower possibly*

[lxtav]

Ahh thank you, i will change it now

[Thatz]

yeah Canada never really tested with heavily arming their helicopters

[lxtav]

yeah, I just saw ‘launcher’ on the armament and assumed it was a form of ATGM, just my lack of observation skills lol

[Thatz]

No worries. I wish they did more but sadly they never did. However there is at least one time that a Canadian helicopter has been armed with attack armament.

Bell CH-146 Griffon (c/n 46401)

I am still completely unsure on how Canadian Officers let this company mount things to one of their Helicopter’s, as Canada has not official armed the CH-146 with this armament.

would be a cool addition nonetheless, whether it be in the British tree or a future Canadian one, mind if I add it to the list?

[Thatz]

Yeah why not, its a valid suggestion im just busy with other things to suggest it at this time

[StormRyder13]

Canada could provide Helicopters but that would require Navel to be at a point ASW helis are needed as those are the only ones I could find that had anti-vehicle weapons.

But as of right now ASW helis have no place in War Thunder.

[lxtav]

I have no doubt there will be a place for them in the future, its only a matter of time before we start seeing ships with helipads and hangers…

Cant wait to blow a battleship out of the water with a heli launched AShM

[Flame2512]

A Royal New Zealand Navy SH-2G Super Seasprite could be a good Commonwealth addition. It was armed with a pair of AGM-65 Mavericks:

[lxtav]

So, I have updated this post with a poll, feel free to answer it to give gaijin a better idea of how many people want more helicopters in the british tech tree

Cheers in advance!

[GTP_Paulie]

They also use a Penguin which is even more powerful but more expensive which I think is why NZ started using the Maverick. My question is where does a helicopter with only two good missiles sit BR wise? I’d also like to know what weapons the SH-2F had in NZ service before the Super Seasprite.
An AU/NZ heli tree would be a solid addition to the UK, UH-1H Bushranger, Seasprite, Seahawk, Tiger ARH, and soon AH-64E.

[Flame2512]

@GTP_Paulie

My question is where does a helicopter with only two good missiles sit BR wise?

Similar to the Wasp with its two AS.12s?

@GTP_Paulie

and soon AH-1E

The UK could get it’s own AH-64E, but the others would be good additions?

[GTP_Paulie]

I meant to say AH-64E but yes, some slight overlap there. Maybe just make the Australian camo an unlockable one on the UK one. Unless they actually end up having a difference (in weaponry possibly), maybe the Australian one would be premium in that case.
