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

I had thought you meant in-game.

Am I crazy or does the one at the top have a physically thicker rocket motor case? It looks like it’s noticably wider then the front, kinda like the ER

It certainly does appear to be thicker. And the canards are different, they actually appear larger

Strange then that it still goes under the same name

This is a Chinese characteristic. Some things are different, but the names are the same. Some improvements have made TY-90 better than the previous TY-90.

Problem is that it becomes a pain in the ass to research something no one else even knows is a thaing.

They released a new model for the pl12 on the Dev.

Show?

but its bullshit

Ho tò Watch the last video of matawg

TY-20 is a different big missile, used in YITIAN II air defence system.

So, for the PL-12 now, seems 2 choices
rename it SD-10, the 180kg one, and give a better PL-12. SD-10 for low br plane like J-8F
or, just make it correct.

Gaijin confirm from first devblog season domestic chinese active radar homing medium-range Air-to-Air Missile PL-12 coming to next major update 100%

But unique chinese 4th gen IR AAM seeker when ?

No, gaijin is adding the SD-10 which they think is equal to PL-12. It is underperforming because it is the downgraded export product variant. It even says SD-10 on the missile model in the game.

This is an error they’ve made, but there isn’t sufficient data for them to correct it…

At least I want gaijin add unique chinese 4th gen IR AAM seeker for PLAAF & PLAN aircraft (J-8F) in rank 8 this year

J-8F like MiG-23MLD and MiG-29 (9-12, 9-13) will not receive their top of the line IR ordnances because they need to fill their respective BRs

I’m not confused Shenyang J-8F should be 12.3 BR with MRAAM 2x PL-12 MRAAM but might want 6x PL-5B & PL-8 replace by 6x PL-9 & PL-8B. and 2x PL-5E instead PL-5B
