To be honest people saying this would save japan’s CAS problem are wrong.
Japan’s CAS problem extends further than top tier. I sometimes play japan(rank I) and I must say, the CAS is HORRIBLE. The bombs require a direct hit(sometimes direct hit won’t work) and each plane can carry only one, the machine guns are bad and overall the planes aren’t that great at low tier ground either.

I agree, but Gaijin doesn’t seem to.
It might be an option for united Korea with the united Chinese tree as well, where Korea could be combined and has a good amount of space compared to SK as US subtree, while also solving China’s MBT issue. For air it’s even very similar to Singapore, with the KF-16s and F-15K.
Though I would want to hear more opinions from Korean players before considering to suggest it.
Also fair, I just name it because it seems to be considered for USSR subtree and I think if it does end up a subtree China would be better.

But the Japanese aircraft were very capable of air combat, and their turnaround performance was particularly good.

Arguably Japan does have domestic CAS to fill the earlier ranks. But of you need it to be subtree CAS, there’s Japanese aircraft operated by Thailand and Indonesia specifically. Thai Ki-30 or Indonesian Ki-51 would be very nice to see.
Otherwise domestic ASEAN aircraft like the Thai RTAF-5 or Indonesian NU-225 would be interesting as well. Alongside that maybe the AT-28D-10 for a nice lower BR CAS aircraft that could also come with a JASDF T-28 camo.
While the subtree does have a lot less Rank 1-4 aircraft options, they also are a lot less needed. Keep in mind Japan has a 5 line air tree, only 3 of them end at rank 4 (assuming R2Y2s are removed).
Yeah their dive bombers are better as fighters than CAS or base bombing

I would urge everyone who has an opinion on the implementation of a future ASEAN tree to the appropriate topic, this one pertains only to the Aviation proposal

You may be correct that Japan mains desire the “juicier” tree that may be Singapore, however, I think this is completely fair. China has a huge arms industry and export market that ensures they will receive a constant influx of vehicles. Japan does not have this option, even including prototypes. China getting subtrees (which is fine) on top of their already incredible amount of domestic options is just not at all equivalent to Japan’s situation. Look at how the Japanese tree has changed over the decade, while Chinese tree is already beginning to exceed it. Can you really fault Japan mains for wanting more for their tree?

I should clarify that Gaijin has stated they will not be adding tech of Chinese origin because of certain reasons. They explicitly denied VT-4, which is kinda ridiculous

Doesn’t China already get the better Flankers anyway? J-11B, etc.

Yeah, IIRC, according to that long-term leak, NK was supposed to be a Chinese Sub TT, and SK was to be a US Sub TT
I feel like a ‘middle east’ tech tree would have even less of a base than the israeli one. It’d have to start at like rank 5.
I mean, they already have a premium North Korean MiG-17 in the form of the Shenyang F-5.
