Perhaps Japan and South Korea can form an alliance to deal with China, but I think this is just an “enemy of the enemy”, far from a true allies.
In my opinion, there are many more feasible ways than this.
South Korea enters the United States, while North Korea enters China. The advantage is that South Korea can implement it separately first, as the North Korean vehicle clearly lacks data and can avoid a large amount of C&P.
Unify Korea. The advantage is that it respects the unity will of South Korea and North Korea, while the disadvantage is that North Korea lacks information on its vehicles and has a large amount of C&P, especially the Air Tree.
True South Korean and Japanese ties are improving [even though quite honestly both countries government really want nothing to do with each other. Really looks like the US just wants to force them both together. Dokdo/Takeshima must be really heated. As a Japanese (I’m guessing) you know this] but still no where in my opinion from what I can see can justify this happening without huge backlash (if done it’ll be bigger then the time all ROC vehicles from the coldwar changed to the PROC flag then changed back by gaijin). The South Korean community seem to really be against anything to do with Japan and South Korea together.
This can be because the Japanese South Korean economic war has just ended (so some dismay in that department) due to the outbreak of the “Special Military Operation” but South Koreans still have mentioned many times. A techtree with Japan even if both countries are Equal. They want nothing to do with Japan whatsoever and would rather like a Unified Korean Techtree. This view is from what I can see. No biases. Unless you whish to bring in South East Asia then maybe except for Thailand I will be arguing tooth and nail for why the reasons are historically and politically idiotic.
But I also understand how the Japanese techtree is a suffer because… By my pfp I think you can tell I do play Japan
Should have made redforce / blueforce asia system where you can make a composite lineup based on their affiliation and share RP. Something similar would help with the east german units as well, they’re a pain in SB.
Japan definitely needs more vehicles introduced. But before they do that they need to fix the grind to unlock vehicles. They’re ass them faster than 90% players can unlock them. Once the RP is fixed im all for it!
South Korea and Japan are not allies. It is an ally of the United States, it is wary of the same enemy, it helps for the sake of national interests, but it is not an ally at all
Agree, at this point idc about politics and I just want more shit to grind, give more rank 5 jets to Japan by at least expanding the tree to also load Asian air force in general, even if it means we’re getting Indonesian Lim-5P, Vietnamese and Indonesian MiG 17 and 19, ROKAF F-86, Indian, Indonesian and vietnamese MiG-21, and we may get new jet bomber in form of Indonesian Tu-16 for it.
You claiming things but aren’t validating them with any sources.
The exercises you mentioned are all organized by the US and not by Japan-S.Korea, unless you can proof otherwise by a source.
I don’t know much about the Anglo-South African relations but i doubt that it’s worse then Japan and South Korea unless you can provide otherwise though, beside that they at least had an mutual defence agreement unlike Japan and S.Korea which have non. Here’s is an source that validates that :
So it’s pretty clear then that there isn’t any alliance between Japan-S.Korea as you can’t validate this with an source.
Even then South Korea should have an source of cooperation with Japan right? So far i have found non, neither have i found any sources which mentions anything about an Japan-S.Korean exercise.
So non of your claims would be even valid since there’s no official source of any agreements.
(Also an source on where Japan forbids these agreements, would like to read it myself)
It’s still an defence treaty which allows the stationing of troops on Japanese, British and Australian territory but beside that it clearly shows that Japan does show official defence agreements.
So we can agree that Japan-S.Korea have no official defence agreement and simple are tied to the US, also that both governments try to improve relations doesn’t always mean they friends.
Personally, if Korea is added to the game in some way, I just want South and North Korea to be separate. I don’t want another China/East Germany situation where there are vehicles from both sides of the Iron Curtain in one tree, because it ruins asymmetry present in tech trees.
In my mind it makes more sense for North Korea to be added to China, as they share a lot of technology and similar vehicles (specifically the PRC), and were/are close allies. During the Cold War, which is the timeframe a lot of in-game vehicles are from, China supplied North Korea with much of its arms, such as the A-5/Q-5, J-7s, ZTZ59s, and just general spare parts for the rest of the Soviet-supplied North Korean military.
South Korea as it is could probably be able to be an Israel-style solo tech tree, perhaps with export vehicles thrown in as premium/squadron. While it could fit in the US tree, the US doesn’t have a need for a sub-tree as it already has more than enough that can be added. South Korea on its own has enough from the mid-late Cold War to stand on its own, not to mention all the more modern stuff.
As much as I would like Japan to gain a South Korean subtree, it is understandable that it hasn’t been done. Japan and South Korea kind of don’t like each other, putting it lightly. Players of one side or the other or both would not like having their country with the other in the game, and so it is reasonable that they are playing it safe regarding Korea.
I agree with this idea. However, when I ask this question in the Japanese community (unofficial WIKI forum), many Korean players cite their dislike of the addition to the Japanese tree as the reason, rather than Japanese approval or disapproval or technical disapproval. I feel that there is a lot of speculation and dislike for the Japanese community’s opinion.
I apologize in advance that I am Japanese and this is a machine translation.
