United Korea would be good with the flags of where each tank is from, north or south. The real question is what flag will represent it? The Korea flag looks basically the same as the South Korea flag. The joesun dynasty or whatever it’s called has the same flag as South Korea

Lukewarm take. This is mentioned on every Korean topic.
Anyways, can’t wait for the VT4 and T-84 through Thailand.

It’s still a tank designed and made by china
still has nothing to do with china or why does china has japanese aircraft?
just researching how Chinese players judge Japanese players - on the forums and in the game itself. It’s easy to see, there are recordings and proof on YouTube too. While we have Korean YouTubers who have nothing against Japan, for example: Zenturion7

You’re right, I find it strange that none of my past comments had anything that was against the rules - in fact, your comment doesn’t have anything wrong with it, you were respectful and yet it was deleted.
Unfortunately, from the point where you seek to prohibit the addition of an export vehicle, bringing as evidence “the Japanese attacked my country, I don’t want my tank to be used by them” - it already becomes a political comment.

Exported to Thailand, which is a subtree of Japan. So, as I said,
This is a Thai vehicle operated by the Thai army, that will be represented in game with Thai crew, Thai camouflage, Thai roundels, with a Thai flag next to the name and its operator country being Thailand.
Once China sold this variant of the VT-4 to Thailand, it became Thai.

by that argument we should remove west equipment from the China Tech Tree, because it’s made by the west and not sold to the CCP

It’s quite ironic how some Chinese players are loudly protesting against the possible addition of the VT-4 in the Japanese tree (through the Thai sub-tree), bringing up historical aggression and treating modern Japanese players as if they were responsible for what happened 80 years ago.
Yet, in the Chinese tree, there are multiple Japanese Imperial vehicles — machines that directly represent the army that committed those crimes in China. If the argument is that “Japan should not have Chinese vehicles because of history,” then why is it perfectly acceptable for China to use Japanese wartime vehicles? That’s a clear double standard.
Japanese players didn’t boycott, didn’t spam, and didn’t treat modern Chinese players as aggressors when those vehicles were added. They accepted it as part of the game. On the other hand, here we see coordinated outrage, where any reasonable argument is buried under nationalistic attacks.
War Thunder is supposed to be about military hardware and gameplay, not about projecting historical hatred onto players who had nothing to do with those events. If we want to keep politics out of the game, then that rule should apply consistently — not only when it suits one side.

Not to mention the Taiwanese F-104G in their tree, is actually retired and sold Japanese F-104J’s

Taiwan received F-104G’s from various countries including US, Canada, Denmark , Belgium and Germany. Starting in the 1960’s.
The F-104J was received in the late 80’s or early 90’s and only had its optical sight changed from fixed to manual. Idk if it carried ground pounding ordinance in ROCAF service it was a mainly an air to air fighter in Japanese service. It was brought by Taiwan mainly to replace the old F-104A-19 air to air fighter in the ROCAF.

It did have ground ordinance (cockpit has switches to drop bombs and ground ordinance), however this is not reflected in the game. F-104J is virtually a F-104G in a sense with some small changes. Which again taiwan did buy these
I pray for United Korea no way the north and south korean will have an argument with this. And also why would you put the country that have quite a number of top MBTs and special variants of F-15E into the US? If mixing North and South Korea together and start like Israel will be very fun and interesting. Imagine playing F-4/F-5 in the same lineup with Su-25.
Agree, seperate them is quite hard to find a main tree that fit them

Then? Do “Chinese” currently using it? Are you Thai? What right do you have to point fingers at others and tell them not to use it when Thais are the ones who use it and the person who should make the decision should be Thais, not even Chinese?

Yeah, but to say the F-104G is actually the F-104J when they’ve had them for nearly 30 years from multiple different countries before the F-104J purchase and never called them G’s is a bit much… lol
To be frank, I don’t think North Korea cares. I don’t know why though…

Well if i recall the F-104J is just a 104G anyways sooooo
Any of the big 3 don’t need subtrees the size of South Korea. Smaller nations like Swiss to Germany make sense because WW2, cultural connections and geography. They don’t have as many indigenous designs to make an entire subtree line, but fill gaps. Something like Mexico would make more sense for the US.
