Chinese guided bomb, History, Performance & Discussion

Are you sure those are of the J-8H? Air Power Australia (an imperfect blogger as all are) seems to have indicated it was a J-8F.

This discussion might also be better had in the J-8 Machinery of War discussion which I just necro-posted on.

In this picture those ACMI pods look even more like a missile. It kinda reminds me of R73.

Yeah, not to sure on those, I haven’t spent the headache towards trying to figure them out yet.

A book i have claims that the image is a J-8H

It is carrying two of them so it is unlikely to be ACMI since normally only one is carried.

J-10A , JF-17 Block 1 and JH-7A from dev server lack GPS/INS guided bomb ?

Is LS-6 compatible with ordinary bomb pylons? Or does it require special wiring?

JF-17 can carry 7 500lb bombs, so that means it should be able to carry 7 500lb LS-6?

great they added the LS-6 for the JF-17, the J10A, J8F and JH7A can also shoot them,

I made a report which explains all that

What about the LS-6 250?

That bug report was rejected “because the GB250 that we have in the game looks different from the GB250 in the picture”

And indeed, seems like the GB250 that we have in the game is actually TG250 which was later renamed to GB250 (GB3).

But this bomb also uses dual mode Laser / GPS guidance, according to a brochure from the manufacturer.

Spoiler

(This last one is the glide version, but just to confirm the information in the brochure)

So I made a new report:

Your report has been accepted

hi sir. I remember that you a intresting about C704. I cannot find more photo about C704 with JH7A. But Some people say that the J-10B will appear in the next version. There is clear evidence here abuoy J10B with C704.


As a transitional equipment, J10B has not been mass-produced, and its similar appearance to J10C cannot be used as evidence in distant photos. However, fortunately, it has participated in an air show and showcased its arsenal, including the C704 that we are concerned about

Please don’t blame my impatience. We have found that even with concrete evidence, adding new weapons to a plane that has already appeared in the game is difficult, as it may change the role that Gaijin originally intended it to play. But if gaijin could be informed during its development phase, the success rate should be much higher. Anyway, please, sir

Also, I don’t know how many C704 J10B can use, but J10 has had the ability to use ground guided weapons at four wing attachment points since Phase A, and this ability has been retained until B and C. However, for some reason, Gaijin ignored the two attachment points of A. So at least I think J10B can use four C704.


By the way, sir, could you please advise on how to fold images like others? I haven’t figured out this feature yet and am troubled by the fact that too many images may disturb others

J-7G with guided bombs(?
v2-d989c2a6e43f308154678eaa90692ac7_1440w
I was searching about the J-6 when I came across this image of a J-7G with a mounted laser guided bomb I know the 7G was already suggested but I didn’t see anything about guided bombs, is it real?
