North Korean Aviation Sub-Tree

These are copied and pasted, you can’t say that an export variant or the biplace variant of a plane already in game is not a copy and paste

It may not be exactly 75% but it would make no sense to add this tree, it would be the same as Hungary, the only difference is that the model is not the same

Well, 2 of those sure, play identical to their counterparts/. The MiG-29 though is the 12.0 MiG but with R-73s, bringing it to 12.3-12.7. It wouldn’t play the same as the standard 9.13

So it is a copy paste of the German Mig-29G, bringing differents missiles to a plane doesn’t change the fact that the airframe is the same

MiG-29G is a different model with different avionics and internal systems.

Definitely supporting it for United Korean Tech Tree.

+1 for China, I think it would fit much better with the PRC than with the ROK

Here’s a photo of a DPRK-modified MiG-15UTI

As well as a Ki-54 in DPRK service

Ki-54 I didn’t include because I’m not sure the North Korean’s armed it, and their indigenous bomber (which may have been based on the Ki-54) fills the same niche.

The MiG-15UTI I also considered, I’ll try add it in a future update.

Ok this is going to be a hot take

But

If the China tree has both China’s, why can’t the sub-tree have both Koreas?

At least then you’ll get the SX-3, T-50/FA-50, KF-21 and some more interesting versions of the F-5.

China having Taiwan as a subtree is already debated over, but now you want to have South Korea in The Chinese tt…

I said it was a hot take

Because a) what relation does South Korea have to China at all, and b) if both Koreas are added, you might as well do a United Korean tree

PRC and Taiwan have both claimed to be the legitimate representatives of China for a long time in historical periods, and the idea of Taiwanese independence has only gradually emerged in the past decade.There is no dispute in the international community.There is no need to discuss such political issues.

North Korea may have successfully developed copies of both the IRIS-T and PL-11, seen in 2021. Not yet seen mounted on aircraft as far as I know

Here’s to hoping DPRK’s airforce gets their hands on Su-30s and/or Su-35s.

I really hope one day I can play DPRK planes in air realistic battles in the chinese air tree.

Any guesses what the Unknown Bomber is?

Hopefully as part of the United Korean Tree.

I want to see it in the Chinese tree because then you can rather easily make it branch off of the Chinese tree past the J-6 and then just implement the planes before it as skins for the Chinese equivalents. For example, a regular line Yak-9P with a KPAAF skin, IL-10 with a KPAAF skin, La-9 with a KPAAF skin, MiG-15/J-2, MiG-17/J-4/J-5, MiG-19/J-6, etc.
I made a write up a while back (that I never finished) that does exactly that

Plus for this is that you can do it for aircraft that aren’t in the specific N. Korean line too, like the KPAAF A-5IIs or F-7Is
