They might as well get it they have nothing else to buy other than a F4ej, the only other nation worse off than them is Italy. If gaijin will let sweden get vehicles they never used , but only tested, then the same should be applied for every nation
I understand there are photos of Sweden testing the tank. I was responding to the argument that a vehicle shouldn’t be implemented simply because it wasn’t painted in a Japanese paint scheme or didn’t use a dedicated model for Japan. The T-80U, among many other similar vehicles (like the JGSDF M36, M47, Swedish Mi-28, and AHS), weren’t built specifically for Japan or Sweden either. They were just the same vehicles from the military of the countries that built them.
The Mi-28 still had Russian camouflage and the red star on it, and the same goes for the T-80U.
I’m not saying whether these vehicles should or shouldn’t be added, but in my opinion, this argument is rather irrelevant. We already have plenty of vehicles like this in the game. If it wasn’t a problem then, why is it a problem now?

-1, the amount of rabbit holes nations can go down if we start giving nations stuff that were “tested” by nations is too large, especially with NATO and Pilots serving on different countries aircraft quite regularly
F-22 for the British Tree because some RAF pilots flew them when they were being considered as an alternative to the Eurofighter anyone?
same for the F-16AJ and J-11A. like it feels like gaijin hates japan and china equally.
Like instead of F-16AJ they could have the mitsubishi F-2 or even at least keep the F-16AJ and put the mitsubish f-2 after it. Same for J-11A. J-11B is much much more unique and not copy paste at all, but gaijin added J-11A which is copy-paste; in fact, i would still be fine with J-11A if they folded J-11B with it
I’d wager they mean the Ho-Ri Prototype and Ho-Ri Production, which in all fairness I’d love to see the things replaced with the actual Ho-Ri as approved for production but best save that for another topic.
