J-8F can carry up to 4 PL-12 missiles or better missiles (obsolete at 13.0 pl 8)

Already posted find out in this discussion

CW is not required, but you need seeker that capable of tracking HPFR signals, like APG-63 and AIM-7M

Already checked and none shows them mounted together…

Mounted no but kept by the plane in postion to be mounted
Pl 11 inner pylons and pl 12 in middle one …this proves enough and is the best info that can be given about a classified plane

A photo of weapons being on the ground shows nothing about where can you place them in the actual aircraft they used it to display which weapons can be used…
Again this prove nothing.

Btw i highly doubt that you can use them in the inner plyons as it would interfere with the landing gear

Does not mean it can’t

It doesnt mean that it can either, and seen the lack of evidence and that that pictures shows them being in use in the middle wing pylon only it is safe to asume that it can’t

So gaijin should not have added this plane if they require pictures of a highly secretive state and the it’s secrets for adding in game

It also lacks MAWS which was even mentioned prior by Gaijin as well, it was said to receive it in a later update alongside the Harrier GR.7 but this was clearly forgotten.

The name of the MAWS is the SE-2 which can be viewed in the image above

Dude even the photos that you use as argument, have the adapter for the small pl8s

not the larger ones seen on the pl 11 or 12

Still not clear and not distinctive

It should get pl 9 not doubt about that.
Then the problem would be somewhat fixed

They are clearly different and literally the same as they ones used for the pl8.

It can be changed who know can you provide the classified doc ? If don’t then no need to argue

My opinion:
1,Recent video information indicates that J-8F has the ability to launch PL-11.But because PL-11 and PL-12 use the same hardpoint in the same position, and PL-12 already as the stock weapon in game. There is absolutely no need to add PL-11 as the stock weapon.

2,There has never been any information indicating that the J-8F used more than 2 radar guide missiles.If you want to improve its combat capability, you can only upgrade it from infrared guide missiles.

Overall, your proposal can only be easily implemented by adding PL-8B or PL-9C, all other debates are futile efforts.
