Other nations trialed it. Taiwan even wanted to purchase them but Northrop was blocked by the Carter administration from selling the plane.
Trials aren’t enough to add a full variant to the tech tree
Due to these premiums, war thunder really depicts an inverted world:
Common planes are rare and rare planes are common.

Laughs in Swedish AH-64A (and to a lesser extent, the Squadron and Premium T-80U and Mi-28A)
Laughs even harder in the not even trialed F-16AJ

honestly the cap for prices should have been 60 USD and translated to local currencies, 75USD/81USD if you use Euros instead, for a pack that only as a preorder has barely barely enough content to at least tempt me with that nice skin, but afterward, GE and premium time is not enough to get me to buy this thing

That is nice and here we have one vehicle in a free to play game that costs even more than that.

And with barely enough content, 2500GE and 20 days premium for 75 is a joke, maybe if they had non preorder exclusive extras like skins and smoke, but this is absurd

Some vehicles in techtress might disagree with you on that.
The pricetag is clearly gatekeeping tool to prevent too many players flooding matches with the vehicle.
Its interesting to see how high they had to set the pricetag in order to make sure that it works:)

At that price, it should instantly unlock the entire tech tree when bought.

it should come with at least 4 skins, I know users skins exist, but that is not an argument when a bland black camo is what you get for 75, not even mentioning the “bonuses” because they are a joke

And don’t forget that in EU not all have the same salaries, differences are great.
I remember when high tier packs used to cost 29.99€ and the game was much more fun(and better) than today.

Oh shush, mister marine biologist
and I don’t think those are good additions too much either, but atleast Sweden doesn’t have an alternative for the helis.

I knew from the moment that no fox 3’s are coming. This update is mid and I get it. It is a filler update. Ok good. But cmon man. A new RANK 8 premium to leave the U.S K/D fall into nothing and to destroy ARB and a new weaker Abrams then a new Spaa for russia (they were suffering indeed) and HU air TT(ok this is kinda cool). Guess I will have to just play russian jets to have an actally competent BVR missile

I also don’t think they are good additions.
I would rather live without “alternatives for helis” than add this mess to the game, that then can be used as further justification for more bullshit…
As we mentioned in Roadmap in August 2023:
We’d like to also note that premium vehicles whose Battle Rating corresponds to the maximum rank will be moved to the maximum rank in that vehicle’s research tree. Having said this, we do not plan to add premium vehicles that have a maximum Battle Rating and the best combat abilities to the game. These types of vehicles will still remain in the regular research tree for all players to research towards if they pique their interest.
