Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

Alongside them believing the PL-5 ever touched the J-10 in service that is quite worrying, hopefully they come to fix this.

We can see even on the early test flights of J-10 it was using PL-8 weights.

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.

Thanks for clarifying, J-10A only used PL-8s so unless it came with PL-8s without IRCCM it’d come with no FOX-2s.

One solution could be adding PL-8B as only option but adding PL-11s before PL-12s.

There are photos of pl5s on j10s

Please show me.

If PL-5s historically was not used, maybe the next best thing is the J-10A getting x2 PL-8Bs stock, then the next upgrade is the PL-8 on other pylons, then PL-8Bs to replace it (that way it fullfils the criteria that the J-10A having PL-8/PL-8Bs only, and the J-10A gets stock IRCCM missile)

Seems like complaint about why only China gets gliding bomb (LS-6)

I can’t see gliding bombs being super useful besides bombing in air rb, I might take one or two in ground to throw at SPAAs but it’ll take so long to get there they might not even hit the target
