Well the JH-7A is as-good as the F-5E at energy retention, which for high-BR where it can pull up to 12Gs instead of the 8 - 9 of F-5E at 1000+ kph makes the JH-7A among the best 12.3s in the game.
Obviously JH-7A is worse than the under-BR’d F-16A.
Once I stopped bringing bombs and I brought a fighter fuel load, it was easy to fly.
That doesn’t change anything, the radar is the problem not the missile. It can’t guide ANY SARH missiles. This includes every variant of the Sparrow.
F/M does not require CW
It does, this is the exact reason that missile was removed from this aircraft over a year or so ago.
AIM-7F/M is able to guide with PDILL instead of CW, but PDILL requires HPRF mode. And the AN/APG-76 does not have air-to-air HPRF mode.
These are just some of the reasons AIM-7 was removed from Kurnass 2000, there are many others.
