Pakistan and bangladeshes j7s did have SARH missiles iirc
nope
It could be one of these early J-8s. They kinda have round airframe like the J-7s.
ourJ-7s did have actual fire control radar though.
lemme search it up again
every modern J-7s had one. But none of the J-7s ever used any radar missiles.
Only the J-7s that has PL-9C and maybe PL-8B used radar slaving for the missiles. Apart from that J-7s never used any radar missiles.
hmm, sadly it seems ur right, but most of them did have HMS though so thats a plus at least
Technically ARH missiles should work on J-7s. But it would have to depend on the missiles own radar. Fire it in a general direction and pray that it hits something.
yeah but i dont think gaijin would ever consider those… will just have to play like a better J-7E with HMS and 4 x 30G IR missiles
It depends on how you define J-7, FTC-2000G and JF-17, can be some kind of super J-7

Definitely no, there’s only one dorsal fin on the other photo, also it doesn’t look rounded like on the j-7 so it could still be a J-8B or newer

PL-12s with 30g… is that accurate on the dev stream?
MB just checked it has 38Gs
I think I’ve found a few more pictures of how the PL-5B should look like in game, very similar to the R-13M or naval AIM-9
And as a bonus: J-8F mounting PL-5C, those would speed up the stock grind

Really ? 😮 J-8F mounted PL-5C ?
apparently
PL5C is worse missile, if there is flare within 5 km it will lock onto it instead of a plane.
You basically only use it as R60M in headons
Adding ti is fine, replacing 5B no way

I’m told that PL-12 has another bug or something nerf, it’s track ability in low altituade is not as good as other ARH missiles.
I sure hope the Q-5L gets PL-2s/PL-5s and gets moved up to 10.7, considering it’s 10.3 in GRB currently where China doesn’t have a single ground vehicle. What a pathetic joke. It’s realistically worse than all the other 10.3 CAS planes and has no lineup at 10.3, while it has a great lineup at 10.0 - and they put it at 10.3.
Such an act seemingly so malicious that one would believe that the developers have some kind of vendetta against Chinese equipment.

not really, now, except no missiles, it’s better in all way as 10.3 guided bomb CAS all have only 2 bombs
Yeah, and the Q-5L is the worst out of all of them. It gets:
- 18 flares
- 2 90kg explosive bombs with IOG (no chance for multikill).
Meanwhile, the JAGUAR A at the same BR (10.3), gets:
- 252 flares
- two Matra Magic 1s (one of the BEST missiles at that BR which allow it to fight enemy aircraft)
- two BGL 1000 guided bombs with 500kg explosive mass where you will always look for multikills
The Super Etendard at, also, 10.3, gets:
- 180 flares,
- Matra Magic 1s
- FOUR PAVEWAY II guided bombs, so no - they’re not all limited to 2 of them.
I won’t be posting images for the rest, but
- the Buccaneer at 10.3 gets 3 guided bombs, not 2, as well.
- the A-10A at 10.3 gets 4 TV guided bombs with 500kg TNT (multikill) or 2 TV guided bombs with 6 AGM-65Bs, WITH AIM-9Ls.
- the Ayit AT 9.7 IN GRB gets 3 TV guided bombs with 2 Shafrir missiles OR 2 Bullpups, and 60 flares - it can additionally take 3 AGM-65As instead of the big 500kg TV guided bomb, then 2 TV guided bombs, and then 2 anti air missiles.
So, no - the Q-5L is a horrible joke. And its BR of 10.3 is absolutely deplorable.
