I haven’t seen anybody ask this, but on which team would this in SIM be? Becouse it has both Soviet- and Nato style tanks.

Same as China, I would imagine.
But SK was always on the opposing side than the soviet block, why would they be on their side?
The same is also true with NK, who was always communist, that is why I am asking. Sim alaready suffers from landlease and captured vehicles, we don’t need more of them.
My point being the Chinese tree has Taiwan with western vehicles.
Granted, the majority of them are Chinese rather than Taiwanese, and this United Korea proposal is roughly 50:50. I don’t see much of a problem considering there isn’t much copy-paste. Yes, it might feel odd killing a K2 in a Challenger 2, or a Ch’onma-2 in a T-90M, but at least they’re not copy-paste and you’re struggling to identify camo/decals.
Most of the copy-paste is concentrated around Rank III and IV, I already wrote a list:
For North Korea:
- T-34 1942
- PT-76
- BTR-80A
- T-54
- Type 59
For South Korea:
- M24
- M4A3
- M46
- M47
- M36B2
- M56
- M48A1 (Premium)
- BMP-3 (Premium)
- T-80U (Squadron + slightly different compared to USSR version)
Total of ~14 vehicles in a tree with 102 vehicles total – 13.7% copy paste

You think Gajin would only add that many?
On the other han after reading a bit about it, I accept that SK has more ties to china than japan.
But still, Gajin is lazy, they would add way more copy paste vehicles.
I think we also have this problem with tons of minor nations, like hungary, turkey, south africa, ROC and thailand.
I would suggest for SIM we use the operating nation and not the TT for teams.

Egyptian Army K9A1 Thunder in a Military parade
This is especially interesting since it makes Egypt a small club of countries to use weapons from Both Koreas

What do they have from the North?
My guess is either some early models of Chonma or Koksan?
No tanks, but they’ve sold each other various missiles iirc. Iran used the Koksan and Ch’onma, and Iraq captured a couple Koksans (and converted one to 180mm), but not Egypt
Edit:
To reward North Korea for its contributions to Egypt’s 1973 war effort, President Anwar el-Sadat authorized the sale of Soviet-made Scud-B missiles to the DPRK from 1976-1981. The North Korean military responded to Cairo’s missile sales by technologically assisting Egypt’s Scud-B missile production efforts.
Egypt’s missile industry has particularly benefited from close military links with North Korea. During the 1990s, Egypt’s defensive capabilities were enhanced by Mubarak’s purchases of Scud-C missiles from North Korea. These procurements encouraged North Korean scientists to assist Egypt’s Scud-C missile production program during the late 1990s and early 2000s
Edit 2:
Oh, and Egypt supposedly severed their ties with North Korea after the US cut their military aid – Report: Egypt cuts military ties with North Korea | AP News

No Egypt operated the Hwasong-5, 6 SBRM & Hwasong-7 ICBM
Both operated the Scud so and both want to make their own SBRM’s and ICBM’s based of the various SBRM’s and ICBM’s the Scud uses

Hopefully this will be in the works very soon but I see Thai and BeNeLux vehicles coming in before we’ll see this unfortunately. United Korea tree is going to be a beast for ground and with solid helicopters however, air is a little more finicky with a bit of C&P but that doesn’t bother me and will be nonetheless fun. As for this style of tree, we already have a similar situation with PRC and ROC so there’s a chance already for the United Korea tree.

The only thing I don’t like about the K2-family is that 90-degree LFP or…middle plate…but other than that, beautiful tank.

I’m pretty sure it’s still got a huge chunk of composite behind it, so even if it’s flat it should still provide a fairly high amount of protection. Could be wrong though, struggling to find a good diagram of the internal modules

Oh it has to have it. I’d highly doubt they wouldn’t reinforce a flat surface like that. Need some interior views and measurements
Well here you have it guys, the M2018 NLOS (Bulsae 4) has been used in Ukraine and claimed its first kill.

WTF. Did not expect to wake up to this.
This is actually very big, North Korea haven’t exported any vehicles since some artillery pieces and Ch’onma’s in the 80s and 90s.
NK as a sub tree for Rus then
SK under Visgerad tree
