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

After JH-7A

I only have access to the pl12 at the moment, but ive noticed many times its seeker lost track, does anyone know how pl12s seeker performs compared to the other new fox3’s? Last i checked in the datamine, pl12s seeker was singled out from the rest which were almost identical, pl12 was different

AT-3 not 11.7+ material

Played with it and to me it seemed pretty good.

I might be using it wrong

Aye i might be wrong too but so far i haven’t seen any reliable testing and we can’t fully judge.

I believe it’s supposed to have the same seeker as the r-77-1 but take that with a grain of salt

But SD-10 is 11.7+ Material. It has better flight performance than JH-7A, so it will surely stay at a higher BR than JH-7A.

I think we’re talking about different planes. I was talking about AT-3

Sd-10 is a missile not a plane

I know. I was talking about FTC2000G but he might have accidentally replied to me.

You replied to the one guy at the part where he was replying to me talking about AT-3.
Confusion

Sorry I was half asleep back then

Have anyone actually tested PL-12/SD-10’s claim on 70km range , Vt=Vl at Mach 1.2, headon at 10km altitude

Supposedly the none escape zone against an F16 is quoted at 35-45km… without conditions given, maybe we can assume at 10km altitude, head on launch at Mach 1.2, while F-16 performs a 9G turn and cold and dropping altitude to 5km.

Also the missile’s delta V is quoted at Mach 3… ie ~1000m/s…

I am not sure if the in game representation is close.

I’ll test it shortly, what altitude?

10km

Supposedly the seeker should be J band as well. Detection range is quoted as 25km against 5m^2 RCS Target

Aaaand supposedly the max 38G is achieved in Mach 4 at 6000m

it’s said PL-12 still have the strange swing problem while gliding, causing extra air resistance.
@MiG_23M can you check it too?

Testing in the next ~10-15 mins

Yes, I’ll take a look
