China offered J-10A a while back, perhaps article confused that.
Such as?
J-10/10As used only PL-8 and PL-8B in active service until recently when 10AH received PL-10s. Our J-10 should get PL-8s (stock) and PL-8B (researched).
I disagree.
Any reason or are you just not feeling historically accurate today?

This is historical fact, the 10/10A only ever used PL-8s.

I would like to assume they are still working on it’s eventual addition but a slightly more worrying answer is the matter that gaijin is under the assumption that the current PL-8 is infact how the PL-8B is irl, multiple gaijin tech mods have declined reports under the assumption that the missile (which btw is modelled as the PL-8B seekerhead in game) won’t recieve IRCCM or a dual band seeker.

Alongside them believing the PL-5 ever touched the J-10 in service that is quite worrying, hopefully they come to fix this.
hm?
So now I’m curious if J-10A ever had used PL-5s.

Sadly, gaijin not ready add PL-8B on J-10A, J-8F and JH-7A this month
But hopefully gaijin add PL-8B for next major udapte in late october
I wasn’t very specific, he didn’t even answer my question. I haven’t been at my PC for the entirety of the dev server nor have I datamined recently. What ordnance is it carrying that is a-historical?
I disagreed with the idea that it should come with standard PL-8’s because most other aircraft in its’ peer group come standard with IRCCM missiles.
pl5e
It is an export missile, compatible with the airframe no?
I think pl5e can be mounted on J10
It can’t carry any form of pl5

Never seen, but could very well be compatible.
recently, it’s accepted. modelling is not a problem, they just call it pl-8, and C&P a model, give it IRCCM, and rename it pl-8b
No, it did not. In fact, the HMS the J-10A uses was built for use with the PL-8.
