Certainly possible, but I have avoided adding the older coastal defence ships to be more in-line with the level of technology seen in other ships in War Thunder. The cutoff at Dristigheten is due to her being the first coastal defence ship with krupp armour. If the Svea or Oden-classes were to be added, they would have to be implemented with special modifiers to reflect their nickel steel and harvey armor. If they’re added, there are also other potential options like some of the modernised monitors

I say that go for it. We have Battle ratings for balance : D
Just some data on Swedish WW2 destroyer torps. Notice that the performance of the 1936 and 1947 order torps are censored. They still have relatively small warheads but given that they operate at higher pressure, they should have a decent increase in performance. The source also notes that a modernization of destroyer torpedoes was carried out in 1946, increasing maximum speed to circa 43 knots while increasing range by circa 16% at low speed and by circa 25% at high speed

I hope we will see this in the future, Sweden have a long naval history with alot of interesting ships.

Strb 90 is getting armed with torpedoes

Very cool stuff, but given the low performance of these torpedoes against surface ships it’s unlikely that they’d be useful in War Thunder. Turns out the launch was specifically made from an unmanned Strb 90. A smaller unmanned boat with a single torpedo tube was also tested. Future missile armed versions are also mentioned
+1 We should definitely get more naval units. I know this might sound dumb for a proposition, but maybe the Baltics could be added to the coastal segment as well?
It could give
Viesturs class minesweeper
Eml Torm
LKL Partizanas
It’s not much but I’m hopeful that these could help bolster a Swedish coastal tree if there is no eastern/central european tree.
Nvm on the Torm as you already have it but please consider the other 2
Still hoping to see this being a reality in the future.

Of course!! I also enjoy playing NB!!
During the Colombian-Peruvian War of 1932, Colombia acquired two Halland-class destroyers, with modifications focused on surface warfare. The destroyers were being built for the Portuguese Navy.

It may be out of scope of your research but is there a possibility to make a a list of possible Swedish submarine additions since submarines were confirmed already?
In terms of Estonian vessels, I’ve included P422 Ristna, PVL 105 Torm, EML Lembit. Of these, Ristna is modified from a Finnish boat while Torm is a modification of a Norwegian boat, tying both of these closer to the Swedish tree. EML Lembit doesn’t have any proper nordic connection as such, but another of the Gilyak-class gun boats was brifely in Finnish ownership after independence but never entered Finnish service, so she’s a bit of a stand-in for her. I agree that adding Estonian vehicles in particular to the Swedish tree would be neat due to Estonia’s close ties to Sweden and Finland, but at the moment I’m only planning on adding Estonian vessels that have connections to nations currently represented in the Swedish tree, in the above cases Finland and Norway. The other Baltics also have cases for inclusion in the Swedish tree, but I’d argue not as strong as Estonia’s

Really hoping the Colombia destroyers (as they’re often referred to in Sweden) are added at some point. I think you’re somewhat mixing them up with the Antioquia-class however. The modified Halland-class was a 1950s design

I’ve actually made a post in another part of the forum regarding this but I guess I should post it here too. This is a list showing a rough progression path but it should give some idea. Norway and Denmark also has a good number of candidates. Sweden built its first submarine in 1904 so there is a good amount of candidates, although they’re generally smaller than the subs of larger navies. Only including subs until the early 60s here
Swedish
U1
Hajen II-klass
Bävern-klass
Valen
Delfinen II-klass
U 3 rebuild
Draken-klass early
Draken-klass late
Neptun-klass
Sjölejonet-klass
Neptun rebuild
Sjölejonet rebuild
U4 ubåtsjakt
Hajen III
Draken II
Draken II late
Finnish
Saukko
Vesikko
Vetehinen
Vesihiisi (1942)
Below, four classes at once

Thanks for the detailed response. The main reason I wanted the Baltics together was that they’d wouldn’t have “good” tree to go to otherwise. USSR has tons of other options, a good chunk of the other Baltic vessels wouldn’t be unique and the only class that could be added to a different tree (that I can remember at least that isn’t Estonian) would be a coastal submarine (Ronis class).
The closest link I could give for the other 2 was that they both use several Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish boats but then again that can also apply to other nations as they use/used several other nations ships e.g Germany for Latvia (Latvia used to use a German submarine tender, a M class minesweeper, 2 Kondor II boats and Lindau class minehunter. Germany also helped build the first 2 Skrunda class patrol boats, which are unfortunately too weak for wt).

Woah, dude, you’re absolutely right. I didn’t confirm the date they were voted on and purchased, but the ARC did acquire them… Thanks for the correction!
