But that goes against the June naval update, since the majority of summer updates have been naval focussed.
With the recent additions to naval, which includes ships that carry a lot of mines, it’s fair to see we can see submarines being added soon as well.

The thing people seem to forget is that games like WoWS or BS:P have a lot of artificial restrictions on vision and firing range. Neither games translate well to how war thunder works.
There are some interesting things to try out, like perhaps modeling earth’s curvature which would allow for some visual obfuscation. But the interplay between ship types as seen in WoWS is simply put, not “realistic” enough. (I don’t have enough experience with BS:P or other games in that series to confidently speak on it.)

Do you know how squadron vics work?
Yeah I know, I didnt mean they need to copy BS:P, but there is some inspiration they can take from it.
This one explains how I’m imagining it as well, how it could work
Especially for subtrees Gaijin has a habit of making them into “side additions” recently. For example Norway was launched with only three aircraft in an update focused on Thai ground vehicles.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like a few Swiss, Greek or Indonesian vehicles alongside a mainly submarine focused update. Infantry also doesn’t seem unlikely, and a new French premium is really just expected for them to cash in on the Rafale better.

I do understand, however squadron vehicles also provide decent vehicles for squadron battles, the A-4E is the best example of this.
While many may not play SQB, the point of squadron vehicles is to provide an additional option for those battles.
Yeah, compared to most other sub trees, the BeNeLux one has a tiny bit more luck. But still cpuld see much more interesting additions

Sorry to go off topic but there’s a mod for battle station pacific that gives you realistic firing ranges, but the problem is the maps are so small in that game that you instantly get blown up by the AI I’ve learned that the hard way lol

Please tell that to stinger and mistral which are nerfed using igla has source
We already have 4 naval squadron vehicles, and as the original comment stated, it’s been years since the last one got added. They have nothing to do with sqb’s and would just be neat to finally see a new one.
They are not there to encourage use in sqb’s, they’re just an incentive to be in a squadron in general. They don’t have any inherent connection or benefit in sqb’s. Nor does playing sqb’s unlock them faster
Cant wait for the BeNeLux navy, Koolhoven FK.55, and Schelde S.21!

I just wanna see improved gamemodes. Bring NT as a standard game mode finally.
You tested SEAD 2 times over the past year and we had NT. Now it is time to get rid of the stale ARB without respawns.
yeah, tho in all honesty the cap for SQRP should be raised, with the amount of vehicles and the removal of banking the SQRP, having to basically waste it when there is nothing of interest is bad.
And some of them do in fact have a benefit in SQBs, either a lower BR than a similar vehicle or additional payload that the TT stuff lacks.
I feel like each subtree has an individual set of problems. There isn’t really one that works perfectly all around as is.
For example with BeNeLux it’s a big part that the subtree includes three nations, but seems to overly focus on Belgium for air, with the Netherlands lagging behind comparatively. For example Belgium gets three freely accessible F-16s, while the only Dutch F-16 is a past event. For ground a similar thing happens, but this time only Dutch vehicles are here in the first place with nothing for Belgium.
Luxembourg also doesn’t get anything at all, despite at least having three vehicles that could be added.
There’s also a similar issue to South Africa (air) or Switzerland, where the ground techtree for France is relatively full, with 5 existing lines, so that there isn’t a lot of space for BeNeLux vehicles. Space is probably always an issue, subtree or not, but here it’s more pronounced.

Does anyone have any guesses on where Indian rafale and SU-30MKI would be placed in British tree?
Rafale after F/A-18 and maybe Su30 will be placed in the same line as well
