+1 as a potential battle pass reward, the USA tree has the A6M2, why cant the Japanese tree not have an American plane?

actually it has a 19sec turn time when clean not as good as the zeros but still one of the best in the entire tech tree for us

The Hellcat gets much faster than that, you can get it down to ~13s at high speed. Obviously that’s not sustainable though.
Because it’s unnecessary copy paste they never put into service. It’s making a problem the game already has even worse, and the US captured vehicles are a part of that problem.
Furthermore, the Japanese tree already has several captured US vehicles, so it’s not like the US is receiving special treatment.
Because Japanese already has nearly a dozen American vehicles already in their techtree.
USA has 5 captured vehicles, 3 of them Japanese (A6M2, Ki-43, Ki-61).
Japan has 3 captured vehicles, F4U-1, P-51C and B-17E.

you forgot the
F-84G-21-RE, F-86F-30, F-84F-40, M4A3 76, M19A1, M44, M16, M24, M42, M36, M41A1, and M47, all of which are tech tree vehicles, not even premiums.
For premiums you forgot the F-86F-40 JASDF.
Except these vehicles were in Japanese service. All were used by the JSDF

None of those are captured, most were in service with either the Japanese or Thai military.
Closest to captured among them are the M47 and M36, both having been bought, not captured. They also notably influenced the start of Japanese military development by being used for evaluation in the STA project that later became Japans first domestic MBT.
It’s not at all surprising that vehicles that are exported end up with other countries, considering that is exactly what export means.

As others have pointed out, none of those are captured. Some are from the thai subtree, others are vehicles supplied by the USA to the JSDF and used in service. Not one-off captured aircraft like the american premiums.

All of which were extensively used Post-war by the JSDF.
Aye, and despite them only being trialed, they were both preserved by the Japanese

Copy-paste in Warthunder is copy-paste, regardless of how the nation got the vehicle. That fact that yall wanna add more copy-paste is wild.
Ah, so we should remove F-15s and F-16s from every nation but USA?

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in the forums. We should also remove all the copy pastes in the Chinese tech tree starting from the Greyhound all the way to the Su-30 and Mig-21

So, if I understand correctly, we should only have 1 F-16, 1 Abrams, 1 T-55 and so on in the game? Each subsequent vehicle after the first one is a copy-paste, and Japan will benefit the most from this, because the Type 10 is the only completely new tank in the game that was created in the 21st century.

So every other F-16 and F-15 that isn’t on the USA tree?

Wouldn’t that be lovely, Warthunder without copy paste. Sadly copy paste is a easy way to add vehicles without putting in every effort, and that’s Gajin’s entire business model - Minimal effort.
So if I understand correctly, you’d class every Sherman in Warthunder as copy paste?
iirc some of the non-American F-16s/15s are different, but yes, Gajin should remove the copy paste F-16/15s.
