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)
Its obviously too good for Gaijin. They just reduced the max speed of the Q-5 series without addressing anything else about them.
Isn’t it for bellow 10km?
Edit:
(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!
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.
That thread already exists
That is a general/informational thread, no? Not like this one, for and of reports and missed stuff
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
It is ridiculous that the A-5 can carry AAMs yet ingame, none of the Q-5s do.
That looks to me like a Q-5D, I could be wrong though.
Very interesting pictures though thank you for sharing!
Does anyone know of any documents about the SH-1A (射轰-1甲) bomb sight? Or can read Chinese and dig one up? Maybe we can make a bug report to get a bomb sight added to the Q-5 Early.
Well…we are getting a (questionable) battle rating increase before any of this changes took effect, can’t have anything good as a china player
Small bump to this topic. Still no implementation of any of the reports. Would love them to jus re-think the Q-5 line as there is 3 aircraft with 2 being identical BRs yet not foldered. I would have assumed the Q-5L would have the upgrades over the A but nothing.
Oney may think an upgrade on a plane will increase its capabilities right? But apparently that’s not how it works according to this game, both got uptiered and can face 11.0 aircraft while having 16 flares and 2 cannons to defend themselves, it’s sad the state that the Q-5s are
Besides limiting the Q-5L’s loadout when it was lower BR (9.7), is there any actual reason why the outer pylons of the Q-5L can only carry 250kg dumb bombs and not the 250kg laser guided bombs?
Id love a tree version with AA at 10.3
is the q-5l lowest br rank 7 aircraft?
Also, irl did it carry pl-5b/c/e2 or even pl8?
most pics seem to be of the export variant that actually carried missiles
As far as chinese sites mention yes it could carry PL-5 and also PL-2, the thing is that there are text sources but no images but at the same time there’s no images of all the ordnance that PLA aircraft could carry in general but one can assume that they could use it because specifications mention it or suggest it, like for example as far as I know I haven’t seen an image of a Q-5 with 500kg bombs but we know it could indeed mount 500kg bombs, is the same argument of why JH-7 is limited to 2 Kh-28(I don’t remember) because it has only been seen with 2 of them but do you really think a aircraft capable of carrying 4000 kg in bombs cannot carry 4 630kg rockets? Nonsense
I know the Kh-28 thingy is due to “the pylons” don’t having the electronics to use it but I don’t believe it
2 years since q5l a2a missile bug report was accepted… thanks for keeping this plane absolutely terrible in air rb gaijin!
Are the Q-5s missing the ability to carry 57mm heat rockets(S-5K/57-1)? So almost in every article that I read in english and chinese I see that the ability to carry 57mm rockets is available which does make sense since the 57mm was a fairly common rocket and I found this image:
Which showcases a different rocket pod for the Q-5s but I’m not sure if it is 57mm rockets, anyway does anybody has more concrete info about this? While inaccurate as hell these rocket pods do weight half of the regular 90mm ones in game and include an extra rocket even if it can only pen 100mm, with CCIP and lightly armored vehicles common in 9.3 I would see them being as useful as the 90mm/130mm
