If J-7E carry PL-8, it would be 11.7BR or 12.0BR just like Kfir C.7.
It was 11.3BR material in the current meta to begin with even without PL-8s, but somehow it was moved to 11.0BR.
If you want to see 11.7BR or 12.0BR J-7E, go ahead.
The top tier generally refers to the 13.7-12.7BR range, but J-7E is not among them.
it could remain 11.3 with pl8s and the second comment is just semantics.
How?
I don’t know about current Kfir C.7 because Gaijin changed wing ripping system in last few patches but, J-7E is one of good dogfighter as Kfirs.
As long as Kfir C.2 with x2 Python-3 is sitting at 11.7, a similarly better FM & more AAM means moving to a higher BR.
Correction: Current Kfir C.7 is 12.0 lmao
