refer to the F-5E take AIM9L/Python 3 on Japanese TT，maybe JF-17 will recive PL-5C/PL-9（not even PL-5E2 and PL-9C） and a few CAS weapons
doubt it will get its full cas loadout either. i hope we get the block 2 in the tech tree.
C-802AKG(KD-88) is a very important ground attack weapon for Chinese TT. J-10s/JH-7s/J-11s/J-15s/J-16/JF-17 all use this weapon.
Gaijin think its attack distance too far and still refuses to add it to the game.
However, if the MITL guidance is not used and only the infrared imaging system is used to lock and attack, its attack distance is comparable to the KH38 in the game.

I still doubt they’ll add it
Is there some kind of rule on that or are we just going off of what has been seen so far ?
So far squadron vehicles only go up to 11.7, premiums only go up to 12.0 and event vehicles only go up to 12.3. Would be quite a jump to add a 13.3 squadron vehicle. My only real proof here is that they added the bison without its r77’s to keep it at a lower br.

JF-17 will probably be 13.0 and as we all know gaijin doesn’t really follow any fixed rules. So anything can happen
I’m betting it’ll only get ir missiles, far too gaijin like to not give a Chinese plane arh missiles, they’ve already done it twice.

It will suck with just IR missiles. It will be like a higher BR F-5E with better A2G loadout.
I hope PL-8B and PL-9/PL-9C will come in the next update
Well what’s more annoying? Getting a plane with gimped weapons or having a spammed squadron plane with arh missiles?
There’s no good options here.

In my opinion, gajin don’t care battle rating
JF-17 max speed slower mach 2 but maneuvrability and flight control system better MiG-21
There’s also the su39, which is also missing radar missiles to keep it at a lower br. I think gaijin is just trying to keep the premiums roughly one br below top tier, so that premium players can see how good top tier jets are without actually owning one and therefore want to grind for one.
Wait, I just had this thought, does its nose remind you of mirage F1C?
i’d much rather have noobs spam it and not know what they’re doing than receiving it gimped
The noobs will eventually give up just like they gave up with their MiG 23MF
When Gaijin gimps vehicles they rarely come back to fix the issue later
By the way nobody spoke about the CM count on that thing, from DCS it’s only 68, that’s concerning
Any sources stating more ?
I’d rather just receive the jf-17 in the tech tree with its full loadout and not have it spammed by noobs in the first place.
In the case of the su39 it should have been tech tree and the su25t should have been the premium.
we all would but it doesn’t seem to be the scenario that will play out so might as well at least make it good
They made a thread on giving Su39 R77, imagine a 13.0 su39…
Would be funny
