Chinese Air-To-Air missiles, History, Performance & Discussion

If Gaijin accepts all missile flight speed data in this way, then I have no objection.

thats how they do it for every thing

they take the highest concret number

69544ff2b12423569eac8aadf348aace

type88 and phxn-4 is over

    "dhl_1": {
      "strengthEquivalent": 1.3,
      "brisanceEquivalent": 1.4
    },
    "pbxn_4": {
      "strengthEquivalent": 0.83,
      "brisanceEquivalent": 0.85
    },
    "tp_88": {
      "strengthEquivalent": 1.3,
      "brisanceEquivalent": 1.3
    },

for comparison

This ratio is incorrect; it should be 1.54.
6443/4184=1.5399≈1.54

Would anyone be willing to join into a custom match with me to compile a comprehensive list of performance results by testing the PL-12 at different altitudes and launch velocities?

I’ve tried one report but it got shot down using a very stupid excuse which doesnt make sense if you think about it

Not only do they not give any values for their so called “optimal conditions” but the BRM also hits me with the stupid copypasta “appropriate source materials” when ive given NOTHING but the primary sources I.E. 2 versions of the SD-10A brochures that agree with each other.

If anyone is willing to help me execute the trials, lemme know.
