Now we know for sure K2 armor features heavily SiC ceramic tiles. 300 Of these to be exact and their approximate dimensions. We also know which company is producing them:

Contract for the K2PL to be supposedly signed by the end of April? We will see what the future holds
for USA techtree plss
supposedly the contract is to be signed soon(up im hearing that since october last year), at least that’s what people who have previously defined the terms of contracts well (e.g. Borsuk IFV) say. As for the appearance of the vehicle, the only certainty is that it is to have reinforced turret sides and is not to exceed 62 tons, which is strange considering the purchases of Abrams or the previously proposed version with 7 road wheels and a significant addition of reactive armor on the sides, and since our authorities have already insisted on 6 road wheels, it will probably end with cosmetics. Earlier, there was information about the suspension from Ponar, which turned out to be untrue. Let’s just hope that everything else will work out. I mean here the domestic armor of the Pangolin era. Besides, the fact that the place of production changed from WZM to Bumar is strange. Edit: also i hope that it will use MTU (instead of domestic Korean one) which we are already can service due to having Leo2 tanks
Hoping to see this vehicle in the future +1
No, the main idea just comes from it being geographically close and people assuming Korea, Japan and China love eachother because they’re geographically close.

What kind of KE protection is the K2 expected to have on the hull/turret?
The K2 can be located in a few tech trees, as the K2 has had variations designed for Poland (K2PL), Norway (K2NO amd yes I know they went for the Leopard 2A7 instead) and the Middle East (K2ME) such as UAE or SA meaning that nations such as Sweden (Norway) or even something like Germany (Poland).
And with the deals with Rafael, Israel could also receive the K2 tank, maybe as the K2ME?
how much times were Polish vehicles denied for Germany?

To be fair, not as many times as canada and audtralia have been denied as subtrees
prem?? good god no
Point still stands, more polish vehicles were denied for Germany
Anyone ever tried to estimate K279 Improved penetration? I tried here, but i dont really know if these infos i put in the sim are right
With joint Korean tech tree basically confirmed I think it’d be better to have K2 just be there, and any foreign variants could be premiums/squadron vehicles for that tt.
Sweden will have plenty with both Strv123 and potentially 2A8NOR.
Leo 2PL in German tt is there because it was made by Germany and follows the same logic as Canadian 2A4M or Polish Sherman “Trzyniec” in UK tt.
We should fight for the techtrees to be unique again, rather than have everyone have the same stuff. This is the direction which I think would be the best for the game.
