No Republic of Korea planned?
So I was looking at the planned features for future updates and I noticed how ARVN and ANZAC factions are mentioned. \

However, I did a little bit of research and apparently South Korea sent 320,000 soldiers to Vietnam; six times that of Australia. Is there a reason RoK forces aren't planned at this time despite their big role in the conflict? Just curious.

based on casualty figures the ROKs saw way more action than the ANZACs- ROK lost 5000 KIA to the Aussies 500- that statistic alone is very telling as to who saw more combat.
but as Static said, equipment wise, the ROKs would be no different in their TOE than the US or ARVN.

they were absolutely feared by the viet kong which refused to engage them unless victory was assured

why are we adding ANZACS?? when the south koreans gave more troops and were more well known then them??

The South Koreans sent over 300000 soldiers to vietnam the most besides the USA!

The Republic of Korea (South Korea), under the administration of Park Chung-hee, took an active role in the Vietnam War. From 1964 to 1973, South Korea sent more than 300,000 troops to Vietnam. The South Korean Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force all participated as an ally of the United States. The number of troops from South Korea was much greater than those from Australia and New Zealand, and second only to the U.S. military force. The military commander was Lieutenant General Chae Myung-shin, ROK Army.

The South Korean forces had 3,800 combat deaths and 41,000 enemies were killed
