I would like to gather some opinion after a brief but painful stock grind period, because even from this short tenure with the jet that is supposed to be China’s top of the line blockbuster, it really falls short in too many ways for me to ignore. The kinetics, electronics, missile suite and CAS capabilities all seem to fall into the worst 14.7 jet. It is very apparent to me it doesn’t belong there.
There current is the everlasting lack of sources surrounding this plane and that is going to be inevitable for a plane spotted just over a year and half ago. I am however looking for solutions, potentially for lower BRs, even if that means China looses its top of the line 14.7 jet.
Potential ways to do this can be through, for example removal of 1 set of PL-8B and PL-12A double racks, to bring the total down to a realistic 8+2 loadout, at which point 14.0/14.3 wouldn’t sound like a ridiculous idea.
- Keep it as it is
- Nerf and lower BR
- Lower BR (no nerf)
- Buff (how?)
