The Squad devs finally seem to be trying to implement vehicles in their game. It looks like trucks and humvees are the only things added so far but I guess its a start at least. Honestly, I don't think anybody but fanboys will get excited about trucks but hopefully tanks & helis won't take an eternity now.

Tbh, not every combat scenario needs tanks and helis irl, so I don't see why it should for a game to be fun. If you really want everything, just go play Project Reality, now that BF2 is obsolete. But yeah, glad to see updates to Squad. I'm waiting on a price drop and picking it up. I really love games like this one.

Exactly. Apart from technical difficulties, I suspect the Squad devs hesitated to add vehicles sooner because they were trying to avoid becoming a second rate BF clone. I don't want to be uncharitable but it calls into question the game's purpose for existing at all really. Since BF2:PR is fully featured and totally free, $40.00 seems pretty pricey for a half finished indie version.
