As they are in game now they feel unpolished and unfinished. The following are some of the things I would like to see added.
-Arcade and Simulator battles should count towards activity
- Officers and above should be able to see when members were last online (maybe even everyone should)
-Playing with squadmates should yield squadron vehicle research when achieving teamwork medals in battle in addition to what we already get.
-Squadrons should have a mail system to be able to message all members or select members, especially those that are offline.
-We should be able to have open-to-squad queues that allows members to join on fellow squad members before the battle begins (like how the 4 man squad is, but just leave it open and can launch into a game without waiting for people.) and of course they should be able to also turn their squad off as well.
-UI rework to reflect changes and give it a more squadron based feeling instead of a generic menu.
Please comment additional improvements you would like to see! And if this gets enough traction I will submit it as an official suggestion if necessary.

Honestly this doesn’t seem like a bad suggestion. One of the guys in my squadron mainly only plays Arcade so it’d be nice if he can start being able to contribute the the battalion.
Last online should be a feature, yes. This is a common feature in other games with clubs/squadrons/guilds.

Agreed. Teamwork and supporting fire medals are basically useless unless I’m doing a best squad wager
Not only should gaijin do more with Squadrons in general (such as mentioned general UI rework, mail system and more) but also Squadron battles should be rewarded more and work bit differently imo. I feel like SQB would be much more interesting if it had certain rulesets every season (such as a vehicle-type limit or such or maybe certain vehicles being banned or whatever, just to mix the meta a bit and make it more unique and less meta-slave based).
I also would kinda like to see something like a small RP bonus when you play in a squad with people from your Squadron. Maybe something like 10% more RP in a 2-man, 20% more RP in a 3-man and up to 30% more in a full 4- man (or maybe 15, 20, 25). There is probably even more thingy that can (and should) be done with Squadrons but sadly gaijin doesn’t really seem to care to work or improve the whole system.
