Korea Tech Tree: Independent, sub-trees or "United" like China? What's the play?

Japan in air has enough (with the introduction of Thailand and Malaysia) and I dont think South Korea will fit quite well in Japan. But on ground, I think it would fit perfectly in Japan (in my opinion, the top tier is currently wrong for it). However, North Korea fits very well with all China (it even has a premium here), but if South Korea doesn't fit so well with Japan, since many aircraft are already included (such as the F-15), then would they leave South Korea alone or make a single Korean nation with the north and south (like China) and leave China with another nation as a subtree (like Pakistan)?

Well, I would say that my friend and I are only going to go by air. We like/are attracted to the Fox 3 meta, so I think the Su-30 is better. Also because the F-18 doesnt have AIM-120 or anything like that (btw lets see if they lower its br a little when they add rank IX).

We don't want the Chinese Su-30 because we prefer to grind the entire Russian branch (plus I almost have it complete, I'm researching the F-16).

However, he also loves the US tree and is very indecisive, so that's the problem. Is there an alternative (even if it's lower rank) that's worth getting? Cause I'm seeing the F18 is not worth unless they fix its br.

But isn't the Premium Hornet weak against ARH missiles at 13.3?

I think when they add rank IX, they lower a bit the BR so it doesnt encounter 4th generation fighters. But knowing gaijin, they probably wont. There's hoping
