The amount of development time and resources needed was entirely correct to both give long awaited and requested vehicles, targeting one of the largest sections of the playerbase and huge part of the core audience of the game.
You have made your point of view very clearly now. You are just constantly going off topic now. So it stops here.
I already posted about it this morning.
Too soon right now. Its better to wait until we are at least at dev server.
We have been saying for ages that T-90 was coming (even last patch said you can expect it after the T-72s are done) and we also made it clear a thermal premium for Russia was also coming.
The tanks have been in development for months. Meanwhile, prior to these patches, Russia had no new MBTs for several patches.
People are always going to jump to conclusions after seeing a few renders and a few paragraphs of text. Of course they are not actually going to wait until even a dev server before coming to an absolute conclusion on the patch overall and this one particular vehicle.
Ive said it so many times in the past, to already know the outcome
This is a SAAB 105 Export variant, not the Swedish SK.60. SK.60 didn't carry RB-24s
Do you have any material I can pass along with this?
A link to an existing report that has sources would also be fine. Just so I can use that.
Jak to kiedyś napisał pewien śp. Jegomość "Każda dostatecznie zaawansowana technologia jest nieodróżnialna od magii."
Dear players.
The game may not be available at the moment as we are experiencing some technical issues on our servers. We are endeavouring to fix these issues as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
The War Thunder Team
Developed as part of a private venture during the early 1960’s, the Saab Sk 60 was a versatile combat jet trainer aircraft currently employed by the Swedish and Austrian air forces. Soon, pilots in War Thunder will have the chance to take control of the nimble Saab Sk 60 upon its arrival at the higher ranks of the Swedish aviation tree in the upcoming update “New Power”!
Briefly: A 1960’s Swedish jet trainer, modified to carry an extensive arsenal of suspended ordnance, allowing it to conduct ground attack missions.
Saab Sk 60B, jet attacker, Sweden, V rank.
Pros
Good handling characteristics
Deadly weapons
Small silhouette
Cons
Modest top speed

I have no idea where you got that from but at least as far as I'm aware that's never been the case. We add vehicles nations have and use. If they are fast or not or have thermals has no bearing on the shells they get.
Russian tanks got their higher pen rounds in the past to bring them up to speed with some of the NATO tanks that were far out performing them.
As I said before, if we had to do another Dev blog per day because someone does not like what we show on any given blog, we would have to make 10 blogs a day.
Your comparing the game in 2014/15 to where it is now in terms of era and technology. The premiums are still under the highest level. Tanks have spread out much more and advanced on significantly since the days your referencing. Not only this, but people don't want to be researching F-4Es with a Spitfire IX. Things move forward, so do premiums.
Most other nations already have a thermal or equal level premium and have had them already for some time. Russia was one of the few without.
You already asked this and we already said yes.
It's a T-72A with thermals and some Kontakt armour.
People have been asking for a better RU premium for quite some time and we confirmed some time ago in a Q and A that one would come eventually.
What you also see as a "waste of development" in your opinion is also the exact same thing that funds the development of these patches and all of their free content.
So all those vehicles and changes that you and others want to see and ask for can actually exist because of premiums.
