I think making the light tanks ( T60, Puma, T70, BA, etc. ) and other vehicles (weaponized motorcycles) a own category would be an amazing idea. Then you could add other scout cars, armoured halftracks and light tanks to the game, without people just ignoring them, so they can drive their big tanks.
Would be really cool to have more variation on the battlefield and in the slot tabs.

Has been discussed and proposed already a couple of times over the Years. Personally, I think it’s nice.
Unfortunately I am not aware of any planned changes on that.
Flakpanzer and GAZ + f2p AA trucks in future definitely need their own separate spawn slots that won’t collide with main 2 tank slots. Right now they take slot of valuable tanks so nobody uses them.
Well, I was using Flakpanzer since I got it, and I have to say that it’s quite fun. Basically a Panzer II, but with less armour and can shoot planes. If you know how to use it, you can rack-up quite a score pummelling infantry, planes and even tanks. But yeah, I would like an extra slot for “special vehicles”, you can feel the lack of armour and bigger gun.
Would make a lot sense
It has been mentioned a few times, I suggested a while back;
Team can have has 2 Universal Vehicle slots and 1 light vehicle slot
Team Univeral slot can only have;
Light vehilce slot is restricted to light vehicle only (Light tank, SPAA, mechanized)
had been toying around with the idea that Tank destroyers can be used in all 3 slots, as they arent generally picked
Something like that anyway.
the trouble is you end up with to many vehicles to infantry squads, in order to create more vehicle squad’s you need to have more infantry squads.
I also propsed upping the players to 15 aside to counter this. (which apart from active player count, the game is more than capable of handling)
The merge “may” alleviate player pool issues.
The maps which have Paratroopers, see an intense use of this troop type. Since they want to limit the amount of Squad classes to 2, i think 1 Paratrooper squad per player should be totally enough ooooooor they increase the amount of time to take a position in the invasion mode. If 2 Paratroopers drop at the same time near the capture point or on top of the building, it´s almost lost instantly.
Increasing the available pool of squads looks like a pretty cool idea. 2 Major vehicle slots and 1 light vehicle slot would be a really great idea too!
