That thing is pure cancer, it is the most oppressive premium EVER, it is the peak of the meta, it was abusive enough when it was 11.0, now that it’s 10.7 and faces many flareless aircraft like f-4c, f-105, t-2 and hunters. Flight performance wise it comes close to a mig21 smt which is already busted for 10.3 and should be 10.7 alongside mig21 mf. Now about the 75 flares and the four midrange mach 3 35g missiles with HIGH flare resistance (not IRCCM but they already have a very small boresight so chances are that if the flares aren’t shot sideways the missile will strike from below 1km from rear aspect).
China has always had pretty busted aircraft that sit 1.7br below where they should, but the j7d is just too much. Even if most players do quite poorly overall and earn an average of 1 kill per battle, they’re fairly OP for their br.
I’ve played four matches today and all these four matches I died to a j7d that managed to kill me from an unspottable distance from behind.
