No sources given, and I’ve only heard these claims elsewhere with no sources attached either.
Unlike with the T-34-85, which doesn’t require any modifications to the gun to fire 85mm HEAT rounds, I haven’t heard of the F-34 being able to fire rounds designed for the D-56T. Although maybe someone who knows more can answer that question? Could certainly work at ~4.7 if so.
Unconfirmed. But that’s besides the point with the main point being - USSR/Russia doesn’t need a subtree, it already full and still can be filled with domestic vehicles and prototypes (in the worst case vehicles from Belarus and Kazakhstan can be added). If anyone get DPRK as a subtree it is China (more so since they have Korean MiG)
T-34-85 is in the tree. T-34-76 isn’t (but is in my United Korean suggestion) because the Chinese tree already has a T-34-76 (which should be under the North Korean flag anyway, China never operated them)
2 models are already in the tree: 2016 version at 6.7 and 1985 version at 7.0.
I sent my comments for a United Korean TT so I did not consider the Chinese T34-76.
I applaud your research but I think there could be other tanks, such as the SU-76, T-55, T-62, PT-76 and Type 63, T-72S and Type 59. (always talking about a TT for united korea)
It doesn’t have the SU-76 because it starts at Rank III
It has the T-55 (with slat armour modification)
It has the base Ch’ŏnma; North Korea never imported the T-62, they were all constructed domestically (and there’s no functional difference between them, so no need)
It has the PT-76
It doesn’t have the Type 63 (or Type 62) because it’s unnecessary copy-paste when domestic options like the 323 (85mm) and Sinhŭng fill the exact same niche
It has the T-72 Ural. North Korea never had the T-72S
It has the Type 59
This sub-tree suggestion is a little outdated, I need to re-do it at some point but I haven’t had the time or motivation recently (and I also much prefer the United Korean idea)
