JH7A lacks historic IRCCM missiles

Game Discussion Realistic Battle

In history, JH7A had PL8B with IRCCM missiles as weapons, but gaijin refused to issue them in the game on the grounds of balance. But the difference between PL8B and PL8 and The difference between AIM9LI and AIM9L is the same.The only difference is whether the guidance head has IRCCM.So why can’t JH7A have IRCCM missiles?

They most likely want to keep it around the br that it is currently at.

Its the only 12.3 jet for China.

3

it should be 11.7 as it currently is right this moment to begin with

The JH7A is better at 12.3 than 13.0 with IRCCM missiles.
The JH7A is the perfect example of what a 12.3 should be.

JH7A will be defeated by IRCCM missiles and FOX3 on 12.3, and will not have the ability to retaliate

Dont you have flares?

do you not have missiles or a gun?

7

Do you think an aircraft without IRCCM is balanced in an environment filled with IRCCM missiles and active radar missiles?

acting like this is sufficient for this BR, to simply have ANY missile and guns

9

All vehicles (planes and tanks) suffer from uptier regardless of BR

10

Depends on its other parts.

Looking at only “does it have the same missile as the others” is bad balance. unless the harrier should be 14.0 because “its has aim120b”

I agree, however the JH-7A lacks sufficient missiles for 12.3 hence the point

12

so f16 adf also should go to 12.0 for same reason?

13

That is an issue with 13.0 - 14.0 being compressed, not 12.3 itself.

14

Because this would still force to change the BR, which would result in the JH-7A having an BR with the IRCCM missiles were it would be just Missile food

12.7 is already a BR with IRCCM, let alone JH7A which is a second-generation body

Agree. Look at the 12.3 BR: Indian MiG-21 bison with R73s (and HMS, which makes R73s much more powerful), Hornets(self-explanatory), and even F-16A(better airframe, more IR MSLs).

From my point of view, gaijin generally overestimated the performance of IR missles without IRCCM.

They somehow think the missiles with green icons are wonder weapons ex: python 3 on the kurnass 2000(12.3) and the missile on the Brazil amx(11.0)
