neat

IMO TT after J-6 should be separated into a “heavy fighter” line continuing up to J-11 and a “light fighter” line up to J-10.

The heavy fighter line can put in J-6A J-8I, J-8B, J-8F, J-11, and J-11A if the unimplemented aircraft are included.
Light fighter one can put J-6III, J-7II, J-7C, J-7E, J-7G, J-10 etc.

It is really weird to see J-10A goes after F-16A MLU.

I haven’t seen a video or photo, but I am sure I saw something saying it can somewhere but just HMD covers a lot of necessary use of Night vison.

I would actually weirdly want that cause i need F16 RN, and also considering J8I, J6III, J7C J7G are not in game, I think the chance of them lining up the multirole fighters is pretty big, but temporarily (hopefully). I would like J8H with PL11 and PL8 to come in on the heavy line. Q5 (first prototype) could also be interesting with PL2 capability as it was a direct modification from J6 and designated for AA combat fighter; J8 modified with F16 stuff could be a fun event vehicle as well.

are there any standoff guided missiles “to combat spaa” that the J10 can use?

Kd88’s I think. It’s not really a sead plane.

kd-88 is only seen in J-10C, though 10A should be able to use it.
but for SEAD, since J-10B it gets YJ-91(Chinese verion of KH-31), and ECM pod. Not sure if J-10A could

What about the C-704KD for the J-10AH? If the Mirage 2000-5f can be a bit if a mix of two very similar airframes, surely the J-10A and AH can be merged. A report on the JH-7A for this missile was acknowledged months ago: Community Bug Reporting System

Could be possible, the problem is how to connect J-10 with C-704KD or C-701
I can’t found any pictures

This photo was used to reference the C-704 on the J10 a few times on this thread, but one photo isn’t gonna be enough of a source.

I came across this video with some research we found maybe the use of the C-701KD and C-704KD on the J10A

image showing that LS-6 GPS bombs can be installed on the J10

PL9 as well

I really doubt they would give glide bombs to China first so we’ll be waiting a while for that one.

Devs refuse to accept display models as a source so this wouldn’t fly

I don’t think it will cause a balancing problem if they add the LS-6 glide bombs (glide GPS bombs) the gameplay will not change, I did tests the jdam can have a range of 20 km throw with altitude and speed, the LS-6 will have just double the range and then the GPS bombs will only be used on mobile base targets, the AAA which camp in RB tank and the AAA on airfield in simulation

I don’t think adding the LS-6 will change the gameplay or balancing
