Leaklist from Olivia didn’t have AIM-120C, only R-77-1 and PL-8B for new IR missiles.

R-73M will not be added for a little while I think. But I think it did mount it IRL.

I have no clue, maybe Chinese players would know.

Its just not a good looking aircraft. Have you seen a Concorde?

Nope, it’s still ugly.
Now, this is beauty for planes. (I was just trying to stick to things coming in this update, but you forced my hand.)

You. Will. Enjoy. It.

currently R-77-1 in DM is the best ARH similar to AIMim-120C5, but I guess gaijin will nerf it and make it similar to R-77 like irl, if it is coming.

Never!

Hopefully the MICA, AAM-4, and PL-12 get their buffs, also.

Everything i can find anywhere says its worse than the SU27SM.

And at a higher BR, I don’t see why anyone would enjoy it.

The J-11B is better than the Su-27SM in almost every way. Better engines, better IR missiles, better ARH missiles, and much better radar.

Yes, it did

The easiest way to tell PL-8 from PL-8B is the opaque seeker. This doesn’t apply in game though because gaijin botched the visual model and modeled the PL-8 as the PL-8B.

I would like to see these sources you’re finding, they’re wrong.

PL-12 and AAM-4 are AIM-120C5 equals, can be buffed by add more power.
Mica is another problem, its engine power is fine, only a total rework about tvc control can help

YES!

And reducing drag with a re-model. It is currently 2cm too thick in diameter.
