Test drive for all vehicles
It would be cool if we could test drive all vehicles in the tech tree

I don't get why you wouldn't be able to? Like you can only test drive vehicles you have and the ones you're researching.

This way people get a better idea which route they want to unlock

I've seen them bring it up once or twice and they said they were thinking about it but I don't know where they stand on it now and I read it a while ago I think. I've heard reasons for and against it, but I would like it too.

Int he alpha version of warthunder you could test fly everything, because of this even one was test flying planes and not accutally getting them.

I got a test drive today for one of the rocket mounted tanks (I have never bought that). So I assume it is all vehicles?
There are "test drive" awards avalable where you get it for 1 hour, can use it in battles, and earn XP and SL with it. What OP means is to be able to click on any vehicle and take it to the test range.

People would simply not grind entire lines down the tech tree if they disliked those units. And in turn would(possibly) not be inclined to spend money on researching them or the crews or upgrades. It's a marketing thing.

Oh my bad xD
Well, test drive is also available for all premium vehicles because you don't have to research those to get them. And rocket tanks are premium. That's why you're able to test drive those.

I'm fine with not test driving all vehicles because then you actually have to put some thought into what you want next. The new BF109 or try to get that FW190 A-4....
While for tanks it's once again more opinion and strategy based.

what if we could claim 1x 1 hour test drive on any vehicle once per week, the test drive vehicle can be playable in normal arcade and realistic battles but wont contribute to RP or SL gain.

either that or make the test drive maps actually useful, give us an option to start a map vs bots instead of having to set up a custom battle each time.
