As said before, the Panther F we have in-game never existed. The closest they got were two Panther Gs with prototype Schmalturm turrets.
As for the Ho-Ri, that thing was as real as the Coelian, as in they only built a wooden mock-up of it.
It may say in the suggestion rules that unfinished vehicles are fair game for suggestions, but the only examples of unfinished vehicles being implemented in recent times are ships, which also follow special rules.
Their actual stance on unfinished vehicles seems to be that they are only being added if absolutely necessary. And strictly speaking, the Panther II and Coelian were unfinished vehicles as well.

2 flying prototypes and 12 first series aircraft is less than three flying prototypes of the Yak-141?
At least the R2Y2 was a proposed project but farewell R2Y2s
Congrats on finding out that the Swift F7 and Yak-141 are the same rules.
Nah, We bought Swift, and Russians abandoned Yak-141.
we can consider them as ‘similar’ but not the same I guess.
The Swift F.7 in game has cannons that were only planned and not fitted to the aircraft. So it too has followed the same logic as the Yak.

we have the yak 141, that never carried a munition in testing and got cancelled before the weaponry was final or even tested

no, since the Japanese got their F15, it’s not.
If the R2Y2’s will be removed, will they finally get their airspawn’s back? that gaijin stole from them some time ago
if they add the F-2 in the next major update im sure it’ll be valid to remove the AJ if they plan to
for tanks and planes they had to be tested (or at least a major component such as the engine/gun did) to be added to the game e.g Yak 141
for boats they just needed to be planned to be made, even if it never actually got built
I believe for ships the hull has to at least actually have been laid down and partly built, im not entirely sure on that

Doubling down on removing vehicles that could’ve been is a terrible design decision. I know the audiant ones out there will blast me for saying it straight but there is no reason to do it if the game already has what mounts to hundreds of testbeds that were never meant to see combat. If you can susbend your disbelief in this game for this reason and plenty others like seeing nations during ww2 that weren’t there then what’s the issue with vehicles that existed in concept and were much more likely to see combat given they had time? The never existed policy is empty & terrible and it’s just there to bring down what could be very fun and unique vehicles so there’s no need to design anything new for the game.
Also what’s with the recent trend of adding vehicles that were only captured but never actually used? Kungstiger didn’t need to exist and it opens a door for a lot of mess and you can’t even make the argument that it’s there to fill in gaps for the nation when it’s a BP premium. Where’s the german and italian captured IS-2? How about you give me a russian abrams or a leopard? What’s the issue? These were all held by the forementioned nations.
I know Gaijin doesn’t care neither do they actually read all the way down here, but hey, at least you have your replacement 7.7 american copy paste jet :)

Mr. @Smin1080p_WT, will there be a real Japanese plane in place of R2Y2? But do I have to settle for copy-pasting planes from Thailand that aren’t even suitable replacements for R2Y2?

the thailand tree was the so called fix to japans cas problem, yet it did virtually nothing xDDD
I hope there will be more japanese planes thats a successor to the R2Y2

I wouldn’t say that. Thailand strengthens Japanese CAS, but not on Br 8.0. You could say by example that they are removing a heavy cruiser and offering a weaker light cruiser instead. this is a poor exchange. The F-84G is not a replacement for the R2Y2. It’s a different category of plane
people say it strengthen’s japans CAS, and that the F-84G is a replacement
clearly they are wrong, R2Y2 is in a class of its own
