Why does the French coastal ship , La Combattante cost so much?!

So i been playing French ships some months now , until just yesterday saw how much La combattante costs
Lets begin with , its the most expensive 3.7 vehicle in the whole game , its actually outrageous a V rank sitting at 3.7?!
Whats even crazier is that it costs the same price with a vehicle for example the MPK pr12412 which is also 4.3 br


700k sl is the price and 200k the crew train , it already is pretty expensive
Moving on to the la Combattante which is a V rankbut lower br at 3.7… same price? really?

How does one explain this? it doesn’t make one sense to me? i believe it should be reduced at least by 20-30% sitting atleast 560k sl instead of the super expensive price of 700k
And even 560k is yet again too much , look at this other USSR boat that sits at 3.7

I would appriciate it if this vehicle’s price would drop because its just ridiculous!
Thank you for reading this post , please share this message if you care
EDIT: i do relise it has SS.11 missiles however , do they really need to affect the price so much? as i suggested 560k is pretty much of a good price , just look at the previous vehicles in line VTL-1 300k sl jesus , La Surprise wonderful vehicle and sits at 230k sl just fine , why cant the others be reasonably priced also?

It’s coastal.

Its rank V. What you expect?

It’s also French. Half-baked, without either of the two missile sets that’d make it decent, and faces enemies it really, really shouldn’t…

If the French reserve boats didn’t exist, it’d probably be among the worst naval vessels tier-for-tier ingame due to its lacking armament for exorbitant cost in RP and SL. Frigates like the Soviet and Japanese automatic 57/76mm slingers cost around the same (or in some cases less) , for much better effectiveness…

BR has nothing to do with it.
It is at the bottom of a tree. Any other tree offers his bottom for less?
