They have…
Guess you missed the leaks.

Leaks aren’t always correct
Leaks prove nothing, and are off-topic to this topic.
Soviet ships are not behind any paywalls.
Most premiums are derivatives or copy-paste of tech tree vehicles.
Object 640 fits under “Vehicles that have moving-under-own-power prototypes built” which is not in-game nor dev blog shown.
The leaks show only one known premium as well: 2A4NL.
Vehicle rules are consistent, and at least the prototype rules have never changed.

All Tier VII ships are part of the tech trees—except the Russian one, which is premium. Why?
Now there’s a new premium helicopter too. People on the forums voted for it to be a tech tree vehicle, yet it ends up as premium anyway. The RAH-66 was also voted as a tech tree addition, but it’s being sold as a pack instead. I could go on and on with examples like this.
So what exactly do you mean by “transparency”? Do you even understand what that word means? Because right now, what’s happening feels like the exact opposite.
You mean rank 6, and Soviets already have rank 6 battleships.
Also RAH-66 would be a rather terrible tech tree addition being foldered with the AH-64A at best.
Speculating on leaks is not for dedicated topics, that’s for rumor roundup.
The Russian battleship Sevastopol will be a premium ship.
The USA’s Iowa won’t be as premium.
The UK’s Vanguard won’t be a premium.
Italy’s Roma won’t be a premium either.
So why is Russia’s ship premium?
The tech tree ships are becoming copy-paste across all nations, while premium vehicles are the ones that are unique. I don’t know what you’re talking about—check the wiki or something.
It isn’t premium even in the leak list. And Mike putting “pre” next to SPAA is weird, he’s misread some things before though.
Also zero tech trees in War Thunder are becoming copy-paste.
China remains the highest copy-paste tech tree and it’s reducing.
Leaks are not confirmations of anything, and you didn’t even read the leaks.
Check the channel below — not Mike’s leaks :)
There are more detailed leaks now about the summer event, new AA systems, World War mode, and more.
You should indeed check all the leaks before posting.
You should also never use leaks as reality.
gszabi leaks never disappoints :)
Leaks aren’t the same as Gaijin’s vehicle addition policy for ground, naval and air. All the criticism you pose or hint at here are either because of legacy vehicles which have been criticized before for being inconsistent with their current policy (think of some German vehicles like the Panther II) Gaijin’s policy has changed over the years to be more strict for ground additions especially. Your criticism is also focused on vehicles which have not yet been announced by gaijin themselves. We know that the leak lists by Gszabi and others are most often about 50-80% correct (depending on the leaker and how near a release date), because of decisions of Gaijin that can change them in the last month of development.
Maybe wait with criticism untill they actually announce it (like with the black eagle and the ships)?
Tell me which Gszabi leaks were wrong?
For me the way it should work is
Drawn and etc, then created, produced, and heavily used? Add it to Tech Tree
Custom skin, design such as partisan, Tiger Ost and etc? Make it Premium
Prototype, never used? Add it to event
Ostwind II?
And define “own power”
Is own power as per the spec or as soon as I put any engine in the thing it will count and get its planned engine even if said engine never existed?
Same goes for the transmission.
And at what part is it a tank prototype.
If I test the turret on chassis x and the true chassis seperately but never combine the two until the vehicle enters a museum without its internal parts like engine or transmission, does it count as a prototype moving under its own power?
Ostwind II shows up on a shipment manifest as a functional prototype.
What happened to it or the train on the way to its destination I couldn’t find.
Please provide the source for that XD
You are the first to ever find that, as no ostwind II, even in the proposed form, have ever been build, let alone tested. So it can not have moved under its own power ever XD
Stop myking stuff up or provide the source which you apparently are the first to ever find and see
Looks like someone used ChatGPT to improve there grammar and text structure(i also do)
No, I wasn’t the first to find the shipping manifest. There was at least one post on the old forum about it, I had it on my old computer, and a number of other websites as a scan of the relevant page.
I’m not free-time enough to look it up again cause I have no interest in the Ostwind series of SPAA.
