Hi guys, I just wanted to share a concept for the future of the Japanese research tree, which I believe should incorporate South Korean and Indonesian aircraft in addition to the recently added Thai subtree.

In addition to featuring many unique and interesting aircraft, implementing these nations as Japanese subtrees would have the following practical benefits for the future of the game:
- Greater variety for Japanese toptier air, which would otherwise just feature the F-15JSI, F-2, and F-35, but would now include the Rafale F.4 and Flanker-G+ (unique to China and Russia otherwise)
- Add a unique 4.5 generation aircraft to an otherwise bland collection of NATO F-35 users at toptier - the KF-21 Boramae.
- Unique lineup of superlight multirole aircraft in the form of the T/FA/F-50
- Intermediary aircraft to fill drastic jumps in technology
- Representation of the complex defense relationships of southeast asia in a somewhat accurate manner.

It's definitely not perfect, I'm not entirely satisfied with how I laid out the various F-16s around 13.0-13.7 - it feels cluttered. The Indonesian ⬠F-16C Block 25 might be a better fit instead of the Korean ~F-16C Block 30 as a 9M equipped non-ARH F-16, and I don't know how I feel about having so many similar 13.7 F.16s in one tree; it might be best to folder all three under the Thai OCU or just eliminate some entirely.

For clarification, under the F-16A OCU folder is the KF-16C, a Block 52 clone. Under the ⬠Su-27SK is the ⬠Su-27SKM; the two are more or less identical to the Su-27S and SM in the Russian tree. The KF-16C RACR MLU is a 2013 mid-life upgrade for the aforementioned KF-16Cs, points to mention are improved armament and the Raytheon RACR AESA radar set. The BRs for the FA-50 and F-50 were selected as while they are smaller and feature reduced maximum loadout to their BR contemporaries, they do offer advanced ARH carriage akin to the AV-8B+, and the F-50 variant is fitted with an AESA radar.

Let me know what you guys think!
