United Korea Ground Forces Tech Tree

Ok. Please change the name in Pokpung-ho.

No. Ch’ŏnma-216 is the official North Korean designation. ‘Pokpung ho’ is made up.

Sorry. You are in right

I want it to happen to the real Korea but sure why not in the game, also there is no new problems that has not happened before since we already have China, German & Italy having a weird mix of tanks…

I like it a lot but I find the fact that the Crownell is there useless because it is the only 3.3 tank and you can’t create a team with it.

There are two options I can think of:

A. Remove the Cromwell V and M24 Chaffee from the tree as they are both copy pastes that lack a respective lineup.

B. We often forget that the British 75mm in-game only uses solid shot M61 because the British preferred to fill their shells with concrete while the Americans designed them with an explosive charge. Due to this being a captured tank, there’s a chance that any captured M61 shot North Korea had available was of the American type with explosive filler, which I think would warrant bumping this tank to 3.7 alongside the aforementioned Chaffee.

Yes you are absolutely right, I agree.

I’d rather not remove the M24 because, yes, while copy-paste, it’s also one of the very few vehicles that fits at the reserve/3.7-4.0 range. Plus, 2 of the 3 others are also copy-paste (the T-34s). Only the 323 (14.5) is unique. Would rather have 2x mediums, 1x light, and 1x SPAA for a lineup than just the mediums and SPAA (especially since the next light tank is at 5.3 and can only really be used at 5.7+)

Could just remove the Cromwell. It makes things simple.

There’s also the option of adding very anachronistic vehicles like the Chunma-D / M2010 APC, which just have 2x 14.5mm KPVs, in place of the M24. Doubt they’d perform particularly well at ~3.7 but they might work.

Fair enough, I have more than enough experience to know that the M24 is effective multiple BR levels above 3.7. It just sucks that it can be enjoyed at its native BR in every other nation but requires a minimum uptier to 4.0 to be playable in this nation. I do suspect that there may be some other options for 3.7 (including the Cromwell with APHE), and so I can understand the decision to keep it around for now.

I would remove the Cromwell but the M24 can be kept. Also I think Chunma-D would be interesting to add.

They captured it from the British, not the Americans.

Of course, but I think that there may be the possibility of American M61 shot stocks being captured as well, as I know that there were some 75mm Shermans and Chaffees that operated during the Korean War. But yes, at the very least we can assume that the Cromwell may have had British M61 shot onboard when it was retrieved.

In one of my previous comments i had expressed my interest on the Hanwha Tigon 8x8 development especially in regard of the SPAA and 105mm concepts.
Today i wanted to share some more new concepts of the Tigon 8x8 which were shown in the KADEX 2025
(Hopefully it will become reality in the future).

  1. Tigon-MCV/TD and Tigon IFV

I also would like to share some nice pictures of a bunch of Chonma 2 in the assembly line/tank factory.

+1, none of these nations should be made into sub-trees.

This would be a super cool addition, and would make for one of the most unique tech trees, especially the NK MBTs with MANPADS on them lol

+1 eventually, main issue is the lack of info on certain NK vehicles (same goes with the hybrid prop planes) but could be a good way to introduce several unique variants/vehicles.

I think theres a missed opportunity here with the MLRS, would love to see the South Korean K136 Kooryung and K239 Chunmoo. Would probably even still be better than the Japanese Type 75 MLRS lol
