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.
it’s not sure the all-aspect or rear-aspect for PL5C so gaijin may nerf it, the best way is use PL5E
PL-5E is export of PL-5C … same missile
dude the E in PL5E is not export but a upgrade
edit: ive checked it’s the export
I think people are confusing the base PL-5E with the PL-5EII which would have a seeker equivalent too the Aim-9M/R-73 too my understanding atleast. What I can figure out is where the PL-5C/E sit in terms of performance but I’ve seen a mix of claims at this point, all I know is that they should be improved in some way over the B
It’s still confusing too me and I whish we had the stats of the PL-5C datamined too see what gajjin thought of the missle.
yeah it confuse me now, PL5E is used by JF17 and it’s all-aspect, and PL5C is used by J6/J7/J8/JH7 or some else but not sure it’s all or rear-aspect, someone said it’s just a PL5B but active quicker after it been launched and someone said it’s as same as PL5E
That what I thought too, that it was just a slightly improved B version, but then some Chinese guy sent me an article and it made the claim that the C and the E are equivalent. So I guess it makes the most since that it’s probably gonna be a all aspect seeker. With any luck the seeker might have 9L prefromance so it has a decent chance too ignore flairs
I might hope gaijin consider PL-5C replacement PL-5B and PL-2 replace by PL-8 on J-7E & increase BR higher 11.0 this year
That should be PL-5EII.J-7s and JH-7s can use PL-5E.Modernised J-7s can use PL-5EII
E2 is a upgrade from E, there’s no conflict between using the E or E2
plz dont ask PL8 for J7E! PL5is enough! i dont want see the F16C when im in the J7E!

Actually 6 aircraft mounted PL-8
I don’t mind gajin increase Air RB & Air SB to 11.3 or 11.7 BR. for J-7E
J-8B could get PL-8

Yes but I dont think JH-7s ever used PL-5EIIs
export only😁
I guess gajin might consider PL-9 replacement PL-5B on JH-7A in the future but not sure that up to 12.0 BR ?
