AFAIK, smin officially denied that option.
That is one of the reasons why Japan got Thailand’s subtree instead of SK.

This could also be done through Indonesia, without the controversy that Korea would bring.

you don’t know that. relations have been on the rise with the last south Korea president, and maybe the new one might work something out with Japan. + they kind of need to Allie as both of their Nabors are hostile, and that’s why I say say wait and see.
You don’t know either in fact your insistence without any evidence just tells me that you know nothing. Also Japan is getting Thailand and very likely going to get Indonesia and a couple of other ASEAN nation on top of TH+ID so the addition of a SK subtree to JP would be a pointless addition.
Also senior Gaijin mods and admins including Smin denied it outright. Another thing, it doesn’t matter if Japan South Korea relationships are improving on the governmental level. Opinions on Japan by the general SK populace is still overwhelmingly negative.

u criticize me on lack of evidence then provide no evidence, real nice.
Typical whataboutism, which always comes out after running out of theory…
Pitiful…

This isn’t the case though… If you’ve actually spoken in person with koreans, they don’t foam at the mouth abt japan because it’s old history by now to the average person. Yeah they think it was wrong, as much as anyone else would agree with that. But adding SK to JP in the game war thunder wouldn’t be as bad as you make it out to be. It’s been a general expectation. There will always be that small vocal minority just like Italians with the addition of Hungary, but generally it’s not that big of a deal. Also gaijin staff can say something one day and another day something else.
Please tell us this sentence when Smin1080p, Stona, or Magazine2 changes their testimony.
Even if your testimony is completely right for arguing’s sake. As long as Japan has Thai as a sub-tree, there is no need to be greedy for more.

I don’t know what they would do quite frank, just like what they would do with some other nations. You got the brits as an example of 4 whole nations being in one tree, but their vehicles are scattered with SA being the main line. I cannot predict the future, but it’s just my current take. Also while Thailand does have vehicles to add, it’s not a huge amount in a relative sense to other nations. They would’ve been better off adding Thai as gap filler/foldered vehicles like they do with some smaller nations and have SK as a complementary nation to JP just imo.
United korea would be ideal, but they’ve also said they don’t wanna do more Israel like nations, so.

Can you provide any kind of vote that Koreans don’t dislike being a sub-tree of JP’s in the Korean WT community? Written in Korean of course. Can you provide one?

I don’t think Korean defence manufacturers like Hanwha can allow Gaijin to use their vehicles to be inside the Japanese tech tree.
Their customers might boycott, and the Korean government will raise that issue to a political level.
I understand what you meant, but my Korean neighbour told me it is a complicated problem.
Even if Gaijin changes its mind, as long as manufacturers just don’t take risks, we can’t have it.

This is exactly why gaijin should have ignored the Chinese fiasco. Realistically it would have caused nothing, now people are entitled to think if they yell loud enough they can have their way.
You completely mistook what I meant.
Korean manufacturer company as KAI or Hanwha will be completely doomed if they let Gaijin make their vehicles part of the japanese tree as a sub-tree.
Either politically or economically. :/
Well, Korean politicians are powerful enough to think that if they yell loudly enough, they can have their way.
Yelling in the WT forum will not be a problem at that moment.
No matter how I want it or not, it just can’t happen.

No they aren’t. They will realistically not give a damn about a game. Especially western aligned companies will laugh it off. This is not a national matter, you are taking this way out of proportion.
“Korean politicians”
There isn’t a large enough korean playerbase to cause the same level of uproar as the Chinese did just because of how large of a population they are. As it goes to show Gaijin doesn’t care for smaller national communities, especially parts of them that are a vocal loud minority. Which I think is the right choice, but they should’ve just not said anything either when it came to the chinese. They’re threatening with legal action with reasoning that’s so convoluded and minor that I’ll say it straight: It’s just stupid.
I don’t know, but maybe.
They are a bit weird.
I heard that the Head of their football association was under state audit because they performed so poorly in football.
I am unsure whether this is true or my neighbour’s joke.
But if that is the truth, I think the CEO of KAI or Hanwha will also be under state audit if we get the SK subtree in Japan.
Strange…
1- We both know it may be small Korean playerbases in this game.
2- And we both know that Gaijin doesn’t care for smaller national communities.
3- Then why did Gaijin announce that there will be ‘No Korean Subtree to Japan’?
4- And gave us Thailand subtree instead of SK?
5- When keeping it as a playing card would be better than terminating the option…?
Yeah, if my neighbour’s joke weren’t a joke but a fact, it would be just stupid that Korean defence contractors will be threatened with both legal and political action, because of the SK sub-tree.
But, well. That’s life, and as funny as it may seem.
Right?

I’m too dumb to understand if you’re being satirical, but yeah, sure. Lee Jae Myung will open a portal to hell because of this or whatever.
politics are so boring in general, but when it comes to Japan I feel like they shouldn’t have to suffer the sins of their fathers.

A point can be made that most nations with subtrees get two subtree nations now, like South Africa/India, Netherlands/Belgium, Hungary/Romania or Finland/Norway.
But at the same time the Indonesian Mi-35P was also added just last update. So I don’t think there is a need for Korea here.
If there is a less controversial options that does the same thing, why even argue anymore?

Sk has kind of been thrown around a lot, at this point I’d just wait until other nations have had there fill of sub TT then decide from there. It hard to rely on politics too because it changes alot overtime.
Yeah… I really think we don’t need to dive into fireworks, unless we really- really need K1/K2 MBT to backup for Type 90/10. :/
(Of course, getting a licence itself will be another prob but even if we exclude it for arguing’s sake)
Also, in the air tech tree part, I think JP cannot get big things from SK except the F-15K…
F-4D/E(SK) → F-4EJ
KF-5 → F-5(Thai)
KF-16 → F-16AJ
T-50 → T-50(Thai)
F-35(SK) → F-35(JASDF)
Indonesian option seems more promising.
