There is not really even any ‘German-related’ stuff with South Korea’s indigenous-built K2 Black Panther MBT. (aside from maybe the MTU MT883 Ka-500 diesel 1500 HP engine and RENK HSWL 295TM transmission for the first K2 batches that came out). Even the 120mm smoothbore CN08 cannon for the K2 was developed by the Agency for Defense Development and Hyundai WIA, not fully by Rheinmetall as some may think.
The autoloader however does seem very reminiscent in design of that of the French Leclerc’s autoloader. Straight from the Koreans themselves “We really loved the Leclerc, we began making our own Leclerc, and now we will surpass the Leclerc.”
It’s also worth noting that the South Korean K2 was designed with regards to similar circumstances to the Japanese Type 10 with its place of origin (mainly mountainous areas and grassy hills of Korea) along with hydropneumatic suspension to adjust for slopes and differing terrain. The MBT overall weighs nearly ~10 tons less than that of the Leopard 2 and Abrams which is crazy.
A really interesting and unique advanced MBT that will probably be very good honestly if added to the game.

we were making a joke of it wasnt really serious
I love the K2, something about it.
Korea’s current designs are absolutely incredible, of course some of it is to do with the fact that their military budget is huge but even so they produce great results often below the budgets of other vehicles in their class.
I’m not even Korean but when we get a Korean tree I will drop everything and RUN to grind Korea.
the tank would most likely go to the nation that is their main ally.
its crazy you want a tanks in the german tech tree that doesn’t have anything at all to do with germany.

i mean, same situation as leo 2a4m can for uk
germany was not involved in the development of the k2
Ik, i was just saying that if they 2PL in specific was added to wt it would make most sense to go to germany but still it won’t come to Germany it’s rather obvious just take the time to read what i said
To be honest I don’t agree that K-2 should be in German TT it had nothing to do with German but in returns Newer variant of Leopard should be only in German TT only but since logic of vehicles to put to the game are changed so i’ll only guess

And everybody is ok with T90 in british tree, because yeah, logic and consistency 😒
I’m sorry? I don’t re-call everyone was okay with the T-90 Bhishma going to the U.K. None of the British mains were asking for that, there were more of wanting something domestic as a SQV, not that.

My brother in christ… every Brit main I know kicked off big time over the Bhishma, we would’ve all preferred a Vickers MBT, or something we actually had a hand in designing, not what was essentially a Copy Paste Russian tank that is ironically one of the best tanks, and arguably the best “British” tank at 10.3 armour-wise.
Put it this way, I’ve yet to see anyone say they wanted the Bhishma added to the UK Tree

Everyone hate the T-90 in the British tree but now India is our second sub for some reason.
We have no other choice now.
Are they?
I havent really seen anyone being happy about it
People complain about about the T80 U for sweden but i dont think its even being used
At least the T-80U has some sort of connection as it was trailed where Britain other than sub tree doesn’t.
