Chinese Air Suggestion to Do list and Discussion

[TheRecruitt]

Any newer versions of the Q-5s they can add?

[thethrill820]

Q5L and Q5M were the last variants AFAIK

Q5L being a entire new variant while Q5M was other varaints being modernized to Q5L

[gultraman]

Capability-wise, Q-5L is already the most advanced version. They just need to give it AA missiles and countermeasures. Then the gap between it and JH-7A can be filled by plain JH-7.

[thethrill820]

JH-7 doesn’t have CCIP, although it does still have GBU’s

[Miraz05]

F-7BG

Recently it received Turkish LGBs.

In August of 1931, Boeing made a change to the Boeing 218 engine and replaced it with a more powerful SR-1340C engine, boasting 450 horsepower. This upgraded model was then given the name XP-925A and was intended for export. During the same month, the Nanjing government purchased one of these XP-925A planes. It was transported to Shanghai Hongqiao for assembly towards the end of 1931 and was assigned the identification number X-66W. The…

The initial flight of the G4M2 prototypes took place in December 1942. This version differed from its predecessor in several ways. It was equipped with Mitsubishi MK4P “Kasei” Model 21 engines, which featured VDM electric four-blade propellers capable of full feathering function. The main wings were redesigned with LB type laminar flow airfoil, and the tail horizontal stabilizer wing area was widened. These modifications resu…

North American P-51B-1-NA

On October 17th, 1943, the initial group of eight P-51B Mustang fighter planes arrived at Wujiaba Base in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. These aircraft belonged to the 76th Squadron of the 23rd Group of the 14th Air Force of the U.S. Army, marking the first deployment of Mustang fi…

In 1934, the Guangdong Air Force acquired 11 Boeing 281s, which included 1 demonstration aircraft, from the American Curtiss Company. The initial demonstration aircraft, No. X12271, reached Guangzhou in September of that year and unfortunately crashed shortly after the flight demonstration. Despite this incident, the Guangdong Air Force was still impressed by the aircraft and it did not impact their future procurement plans. On Septe…

You want an interesting boat to make a suggestion for

The JARI-USV

[thethrill820]

The prop list is getting shorter

[thethrill820]

I’m going to eventually make a expanded PLA/ROC Helicopter tech tree thread here soon, and the Helicopter parts will be moved there.

[thethrill820]

here’s what i got so far, it may have some errors

Line 1 - ROC

Line 2 - PLA

Line 3 - Naval

Z-11WB GE Premuim

Z-10K Squadron

MD 500MD Event

(Missing some things in the current tt)

[R_nminbiY_n]

Please do not advocate for more 7.X rocket “reserve” helis. They add nothing to the tree and only serve to make researching more tedious.

We don’t need every single possible vehicle in the game, especially when they both suck and aren’t interesting or funny.

[thethrill820]

While i do agree, both are the first armed helicopters of there nation.

I can make is so that Gazelle is a reserve and the Z-5 is an optional researchable, but UH-1H is the viable starter for ROC line.

Anyway i will keep this in mind

[gultraman]

For Z-10 and Z10ME, you can both make early and late variants for them.
For navy, you can add Ka-52K as supposedly it was considered by PLA to use on their LHDs.

[thethrill820]

Here is the last one i worked on

[gultraman]

What about Z-9D for navy?
Also I think there is also an armed Z-20 version for the army (Z-20W?).

[Zyszhao]

I saw a picture show Mi-171Sh from PLAAF have the ability to use TY-90
Also the Ka-52 haven’t corrected by any official sources so i think it’s better to remove it

[thethrill820]

8 × ty-90 with only dumb rockets and bombs would be kinda bad so i lwft it out

[Zyszhao]

Must more than 8x, at least 16x i think
and it have access to 23mm gunpod
might be a good choice to be a medium tier AA vehicle with UH spawn point to allow spawn AKD/Hellfire carriers

[Surbaissemaxxing]

it can carry them, yes

[thethrill820]

Only the central pylons are wired for it
