I don’t think so.

A source says that PL-5B is 21G rear-aspect and PL-5C is 26G all-aspect, but more sources think that both of them are 30G rear-aspect.

Is it a PL-8?

No, i think it is the training model of PL-9, the training model of PL-8 should be like that.
Thank you

In fact, the PL-8 in the game is incorrect. PL-8 is purchased as a finished product while PL-8A is authorized for assembly and production. Only PL-8B is truly a localized improvement with IRCCM and HMS
PL-8 and Python-3 missiles are made very wrongly - Machinery of War Discussion / Aircraft - War Thunder — official forum

Early ARH BVRAAM TC-2 from ROCAF range same AIM-120A/AIM-120B AMRAAM & R-77 ?
Your comment implies the R-77 and AIM-120A/B have the same range which is incorrect. The AIM-120 has similar range to the AIM-7, though has better time to target from higher acceleration and initial top speed. This enhances its’ range at higher altitudes, and in some cases can reduce its’ range in comparison to AIM-7 at low altitude but the operational engagement range is much extended thanks to there being no seeker range limitation.
The R-77 is akin to the AIM-120C-5, and the TC-2 is slightly heavier than the R-77 while using newer technology so we can presume it has similar or better performance to the R-77 and AIM-120C-5. The claimed range (without context as to launch parameters) is 100km for TC-2, and it is 80km for the R-77 which matches this assessment.

You guess gaijin plan consider PL-5E, PL-5E II, PL-8B and PL-9 Q4 this year ?

Maybe with more information available they can model them.
We could see PL-5E very soon.

No, they will add J-11 so that they can copy R-73 to Chinese tree and model PL-5E, PL-5E II, PL-8B and PL-9 lateeeeeeeer.

Would you ever consider making a page for Chinese guided air to ground weapons? For many of us who don’t read Chinese, it can be very hard to find comprehensive sources about such weapons or what aircraft can carry them. Would be greatly appreciated

I wouldn’t complain at all if the added the J-15, as it would give china a great fighter while also being able too preform multi role missions with the ability to carry KD-88 missles and possibly other options. On top of that, jets like the J-16 and then the Su-35 are future options that would definitely guarantee that China stays competitive with other nations and maintains good CAS options

After addition of J-11 variants no exported Russian equipment is necessary, china has their own domestic stuff that remains meta for the remainder of the future possible additions

But those will still come to the tech tree maybe as premiums
It’s not always about necessity, and China lacks certain weapons systems that Russian aircraft can fill, such as TV guided bombs or laser guided missles. Also if China used a fighter jet, and Russia is also getting it at the same time, there’s no reason why China shouldn’t also get it. Yes I want too see unique Chinese planes, but Id also like too see Russian aircraft that china operates, as they help increase the varsity of weapon systems present in the Chinese air tree.
China in general lacks a variety of guided air to ground weapons, with a few laser guided bombs and the KD-88 being the only real domestic options we can expect. The KD-88 is a great missle for air too ground, but at the end of the day most Chinese planes can only carry so many, with 2-4 being the maximum, while Russian and American planes can bring out far more guided weapons in a single loadout. By allowing Russian planes into the Chinese tech tree, it would allow china too take advantage of the plethora of options offered by Russian aircraft for air too ground

pl5c is coming but it seems to be all-aspect
powerful but not real :( i hope gaijin will give PL5E but not PL5C
I don’t think it’s wrong.
