From an old comment.

MiG-15 - Additional pylons (increased CAS)
Shenyang F-5/MiG-17 - Although it’s already in-game it was an North Korean modification.
J-6/MiG-19 - Additional pylons (increased CAS)
MiG-21PFM/BiS - Wired to carry the North Korea AGP-250 glide bomb.

Information is from the book - The Armed Forces of North Korea On The Path of Songun

Quite unremarkable to be honest, but better than nothing.
Shenyang F-5 is a joy to fly though, so I hope that would make it to a united tree if it were to be added.

8×8 122mm APC (8.3BR) is Mock-Up or Fake Vehicle
It is almost impossible to mount an unmanned turret in that form on a BTR-based armored vehicle

I’ve seen no evidence of this.

For as much as it’s mentioned online, North Korea very rarely, if ever, produces mock-ups of vehicles and tries to pass them off as real. Almost every vehicle seen in parades has also been seen in service, in training exercises, etc. including the M2020 MBT, the M2018 NLOS ATGM carrier, the M2020 8x8 ATGM APC, etc. I see no reason why such an underwhelming vehicle (122mm cannon taken from a 1970s-era SPG) would be faked, especially as it was shown alongisde those other vehicles.

By design, it’s almost impossible for it to actually work. There is a related analysis article here, so I recommend reading it.

it could work if they give up having hull storage.
considering m2020’s design is also kinda nonsense.

The context was fine, but the solution is highly doubtable.
You are ignoring the fact that both have no relations at all.
stop trolling if you don’t have any “brilliant idea”

I’m not sure if the first indigenous aircraft can be realistically added since it looks like a basic trainer though i could be wrong at that and can carry some armaments.

The second indigenous aircraft on the other hand has a lot of potential and should actively be looked into

how about North korea is added to china and south korea is added to japan? it just makes it way easier and eliminates the need for another tree.

if you watch the whole thread carefully, you’ll know why that’s not gonna happen.

North Korea to China is relatively well-received (just see the votes on my NK sub-tree suggestion), but South Korea to Japan is not very well-received, particularly amongst Korean players, due to historical reasons. Some argue that NK should go with the USSR instead, but either work well.

If we went along technological grounds and similarities, if South Korea were to be added as a sub-tree, the US is the best option, given their very close relations and technological similarities (lots of imported US vehicles, US aided heavily in development of K1, etc.). Japan is not a good option, neither historically nor in terms of vehicles – they have no history of shared weapons development or something similar, unlike South Africa + UK, or Finland + Sweden.

But, an issue with the US idea, is that Gaijin won’t extend trees past 5 lines just yet, due to UI constraints.

A United Korea tree eliminates any issues related with sub-trees, and lets more unique vehicles be added that wouldn’t otherwise.

exactly. south korea in japan likely is not a good idea and will attract controversy and i would rather it be put in another TT

You already said the exact same thing before.
watch the thread again. There are reasons why the majority of people are opposed to that idea.
S.K. has enough vehicles to make its own TT and by adding N.K. together, United Korea TT will become an enjoyable TT.

There are a series of new vehicles under development for S.K. military, but making them as a sub-tree will just waste its true potential. If you truly want to see as many Korean vehicles in the game as possible, independent TT is the only way.

How is that a solution? You essentially repeating the same thing that has been mentioned about Japan (aside from historical issues), China has no military connection to South Korea so how actually would it make sense for S.Korea to be there?

The United Korean would be fine solution on bringing both Korea’s to game simultaneously.

According to the book it was intended as a ground attack craft and was equipped with a radar and bombsight but it’s not known what weapons or payload wad used. Unfortunately the aircraft didn’t meet the North Koreans expectations (small and underwhelming performance), so the Aircraft probably became a trainer but got quickly faced out as it deemed unsatisfactory.

south korea had military relations long time ago(pre-japenese colonization), just for your info
Anyways i think south korea could be put in either USA or Chinese TT(chinese because it has less vehicles than japan and also due to geography)

china has 59 playable ground vehicles without including the ones that were removed/event or premiums
japan has 53 playable ground tech tree vehicles not including premiums or event ones
if you want to make koreans even more mad yes put it in the chinese tech tree they hate china probably as much or even more than they dot with japan lol just cuz of geography dosent make sense whatsoever

also pre japanese colonization duuude this was so much time ago it shouldnt even be considered in the first place, we are talking the 1800’s do you realize how much time ago this was?

Is that so, when was South Korea established because im certain Korea was one so you essentially talking for 2 countries.

Also for your info when Japan annexed Korea it disbanded the Korean army and governed over Korea, so how can you claim that it’s a military relationship when you are not even in control of your own army?

However if colonization is you argument then i can essentially ask for Vietnam to be in France or Canada in France.

Again the US is a logical option but unnecessary as they have a wide variety of options to fill their needs.

Same with China. They tons of vehicles that can be added to the Tree before their would be actual need for a subtree, it just up to Gaijin to add them and again China has no military connection to South Korea making it illogical for them to be in China (unless it’s North Korea).

Ho-Ri was a wooden model but wasn’t there some reports that there were possible models but then it’s probably very obscured.
