Good morning Darkflow; you have three available options:

Now, this seems like a suggestion for strictly premium squads and event squads. Still, I believe it is possible to incorporate the British Indian Army into the tech tree with specific British squads. They played a too critical role in the war to not be featured in the game.

Yes, they played a critical role under British leadership, especially in Burma. I did put the British Indian Army, didn’t I?

Thank you for your post.

I also have been calling for the British Indian Army to be added.

Alongside my country Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa.

All of us Commonwealth countries are really easy to make.

It’s so stupid Commonwealth squads or at least uniforms are not in game yet, given that not only did our countries do A LOT in the War, but especially the fact weapons used exclusively by specific Commonwealth nations are in game.

I.e Vickers-Berthier (British Indian Army), Owen gun (Australia), Ross rifle (Canada).

We can see from your picture how easy it is to make Indian uniforms, its the standard British shirt. All we need is a turban (is there a specific name for that, any other national uniform names I should know about?)

Likewise Australia and New Zealand just need our digger hats/slouch hat and lemon squeezer respectively (ideally Australian uniforms would get Commonwealth Rising Sun collar badges and AUSTRALIA written on the side but its not essential).
Canada is even easier, just need CANADA written on the side of existing British uniform.

Some people have been asking for more ‘diversity’ in game, literally just add Indian soldiers who did a lot. Maori would be a great premium squad and Id be open to an Indigenous Australian premium squad as well.

They could add ‘Indian’ faces to the options of appearance. That would allow for English officers (since the uniform is the same) and Indian soldiers (which I believe was quite common).

Note: When I say British Indian Army I use the term to collectively refer to any Allied Indian armies/soldiers.

I thought India would’ve been perfect for a Premium/ event MG squad with the Vickers-Berthier but that weapon’s Research tree

I feel Premium/ event squads and their weapons should be thematic

That is why I included the “Tiger Legion” (apparently, they fought in Berlin) and the Indian National Army (they fought with Japan in Burma). The British Indian troops could be included as soldier skins, as was mentioned here:

Premium squads weapons to me should be ‘special’. So things like silenced weapons, prototypes, the Charlton (which was only used by New Zealand Home Guard units, not frontline troops).

National squads shouldnt be premium. Like why the hell are there multiple Australian premium squads and not even a single slouch hat?
Same thing in War Thunder the overwhelming majority of Australian tech is premium (which is hilarious given that the CAC Boomerang and CAC Wirraway werent exactly great aircraft)

If the V-B wasnt in the tech tree I would argue an Indian squad with V-B fine as premium/event, but Indian uniforms/appearance (at minimum) should be available.

I just dont understand why this hasnt been done already, its really easy to do, would mean a lot to many players and encourage new players. Like how many games can Indian people play as Indian troops? (India is a big market) Australians play as Australian soldiers? Basically none.
Australian and New Zealand uniforms have already been modeled too (I assume they had voicelines).
