[@amtarew6647]

Hi Gaijin ! Special Q here : You added to WarThunder a very classified vehicle called the Leopard 2A6, tough, the Japanese tech tree also needs vehicles. Are you planning on adding MBT's like the Type 10 or their prototypes (STB-2/3/4 ; ST-C1 ; TK-K) ? I know you cannot answer to those questions and if not, tell us why a vehicle as classified as the 2A6 isn't added to the game.
