War-Thunder offers a wide range of premium-vehicles, which is great for the players and the income of Gaijin. Personally, I´d very much like to see some SPAA as premiums as well. Is there a specific reason we do not have any yet?

Firstly, SPAA are very situational, not often used and not view as an grinding vehicle. To begin with there are very few SPAA that has not been yet added to the game and are unique, unless you want more copycats. They are already few “unique” premium SPAA at the lower BR and you can already see that its a failed project. They are kind of unique, but simply useless. Therefore the idea of premium SPAA is pointless since its lots of work and very little profit since not many will buy them.
Hope I explained everything well.
They wouldn’t sell just as much, would be my guess.
Doesn´t really convince me. I bet an M163, a Gepard or a Shilka would sell pretty decent as a premium. It´s also very little work to implement. We have plenty of Panzer IVs in game and yet there are premium-versions too for instance. So yes, give us copycats for anti-air too please!
Strictly speaking, 2S38 is a SPAA even though gaijin decided to classify it as a light tank, and I see a lot of real and genuine players hanging around spawn these days pointing their barrels at the sky using it as such

They just need more SPAA. Full stop. With a few being Premium would be good.

Premium Flakpanzer 341.
Snail?!
I completely disagree. Pretty much all premium attackers are bought by people who want a CAS option but don’t want to grind an entirely different tree. A lot of people just never research their SPAA branch because it makes the research of actual tanks and game progression faster. Premium SPAA especially near top tear would sell like hot cakes to everyone who never bothered researching SPAA.

I think Premium SPAA’s would end up being a very beneficial path for Gaijin and some players. For example, I can only speak for myself, but I’d much rather pay $79.99 or however much, to get one premium high-tier SPAA, so that I could skip over grinding constantly. I am only in War Thunder to play SPAA, and I am sure that is not the standard, but I think it would be very time-efficient if they made a special version of the Pantsir/FlakRad/TOR/Type 81 (C) maybe with a special digital camouflage or something. It wouldn’t cost that much in time or labor, but it would make a world of difference for players like me who want to play SPAA without the grind to get it. Hopefully it happens someday.
