Lets Fix the Q-5 Series - A list of Accepted Bug Reports

[OctopusDaddy]

Here is a list of outstanding bug reports that were Accepted. The Q-5 series has been neglected and has extremely limited ordnance compared other platforms at its BR. These fixes would expand the options available to the Q-5 series.

Q-5 Early
The Q-5 Early is a pretty bad CAS plane. It lacks any CCIP or Bomb Sight (Which is unusual for a plane with a bomb bay) which makes hitting anything with the bomb bay extremely difficult. Unfortunately there is only a single bug report that would allow it to carry more bombs instead of rockets on its wing.
Perhaps giving it a bomb sight would make this an interesting plane to play in GRB.

Q-5 early should be able to carry 250-2 under the wings

Q-5A
The Q-5A is already a decent platform. At only .3 BR higher than the Q-5 Early, the Q-5A has CCIP, more hardpoints and more ground ordnance options. These following changes will allow more flexibility in its customizable loadouts and give it the ability to take a full loadout of Bombs or Rockets similar to other planes which actually have “customizable” loadouts.

Q-5A should be able to carry 250-2/3 and 500-3 under the wings
The current 250-2/3 bombs have very little explosive mass compared to the bombs of other CAS planes at its BR. Giving the Q-5 the option to mount a 500kg bomb would give it a more competitive loadout.

Q-5A in game missing the outside pylon.
Q-5A should have 2 more pylons capable of carrying 250kg Bombs

Q-5A should be able to carry all type of rockets in each pylon

Q-5L
Q-5L Air-To-Air Missiles
Q-5L should be able to carry PL-5
Both the Q-5A and Q-5L are both 9.7 in ARB, which is a waste of a tech tree slot.
This would give a reason for the Q-5L to exist in ARB as a higher BR Q-5 series.

The Q-5L should have a chaff/flare dispenser
Q-5L should have 64 chaff/flare rounds
Having a reasonable amount of countermeasures will make the Q-5L much more survivable at 10.3 GRB and whatever higher ARB BR it ends up at with PL-5s. It currently only carries 18 Countermeasures! Which is nothing compared to other aircraft in the 10.0 BR range that can carry 60-100.

If you know of any other accepted bug reports, or are making any new reports, please post it in this thread.

Someone finally did it! Thanks a ton for making this topic, we need more players to be more aware of the issues these aircraft face and how gimped (especially the Q-5L) they are.

As a bonus here’s my favorite picture:

Hope armement issues will be fixed, it kinda sad how bad (in game) Chinese CAS is (no, Q-5L flying in a stratosphere with 2 laser guided is not an argument of it being "good) and hope it will be improved as soon as possible (especially considering that Russia, US and France getting new CAS)

[OctopusDaddy]

Its obviously too good for Gaijin. They just reduced the max speed of the Q-5 series without addressing anything else about them.

[DarKBird]

Isn’t it for bellow 10km?

Edit:

@Stona_WT

A-5C/Q-5 (all variants) — maximum speed has been reduced to M 1.20 at an altitude of 11 km and 1350 km/h at an altitude of 7 km (Q-5 early: M 1.12 and 1240 km/h).

(Ffs, could have kept km/h for both, why switching from Mach to km/h mid thing?1)

Still pretty fast tho, it rarely could go supersonic anyway

That was really needed, good job!

Q-5L Air-To-Air Missiles

Yes, It should receive them and go to 10.7 like the premium A-5C. I commented about this on recent BR changes, but this change didn’t happen.

One thread needs to also exist for JH-7A. That thing is missing so much ground ordnance its funny, same as J-10.

[Miraz05]

That thread already exists

Chinese Air-To-Air missiles

As reference, this topic is about the Chinese Air-To-Air missiles, <a href="https://forum.warthunder.com/t/c…

[DarKBird]

That is a general/informational thread, no? Not like this one, for and of reports and missed stuff

[不_你没有资格定义什么叫防空]

I have two interesting photos here. The Q5L is equipped with an air to ground missile on the inside, which looks like the TL10A, a small TV guided missile

But this Q5L lacks a camera on the nose, leaving a patch, but from the sensors and optical pod mounting points on both sides, it should be at least an aircraft with the same level of technology as the Q5L

[EnglishTeaKett1e]

It is ridiculous that the A-5 can carry AAMs yet ingame, none of the Q-5s do.

[SidewaysCube946]

That looks to me like a Q-5D, I could be wrong though.

Very interesting pictures though thank you for sharing!
