Please not. China needs a J8B premium imo, looking at what other countries got.

I guess maybe new event vehicle aircraft toptier at rank 8 from Italy or great britain tech tree in winter event this year

There’s not much left to add for Italy that wouldn’t be right at the top or very close to it, so I very much doubt it’ll be Italian. Britain could get something like a Harrier GR.5 with decreased weapon loadouts so it could be put at a decently lower BR, however.

I just hope that there will be more domestic weapons and equipment, and of course my friend you are very right. I just don’t want to see a castrated Soviet piece of equipment appear on the Chinese tech tree (personal opinion)

If we see the flanker and the leak is in fact correct, then I also fully expect the J-11

@Deathmisser I guess keep us updated on if they ever drop a part II for that leak list. The only reason I’m interested is simply because that guy has been right before if it really is him

PL-9 is for export, using the technology of PL-8, and PL-9C is the technology of PL-8B.

I cannot read Chinese.

Google Translate, please :)

No. A link the article would suffice.

J-8B is already in the TT, but we can expect other J-8 variants e.g J-8C, J-8H, J-8 Peace Pearl, F-8IIM, to appear as event/squadron/premium vehicles

I can help you translate. The article makes it clear that the PL9 is an export model of the PL8, which uses the technology of the PL8. From what I understand, these two are the same thing. It behaves in the game just like AIM-9P and AIM-9J

Thank you very much. I guess the next step up in terms of Chinese IR missiles will the PL-8B or something, then.

I guess Shenyang F-8IIM would be event vehicle aircraft toptier rank 8 because fitted Russian Phazotron Zhuk-8II radar and russian Air-to-Air Missile

Shenyang J-8D & J-8H could be research tech tree rank 8 and located between J-8B & J-8F

If JH-7A get PL-12 BVRAAM, I guess in the future could add Lead-In Fighter Trainer (LIFT)/Light combat aircraft (LCA) 11.7 or 12.0 BR between Nanchang Q-5L and Xian JH-7A

What China lacks in the game is IRCCM and better mechs. I’m looking forward to it as much as you do

Harrier GR.5 as a event vehicle ? It’s possible and could be 11.3 BR

Yes, I expect J-8 Peace Pearl and F-8IIM will apear as event / squadron / premium vehicle some point in future.
If J-8F receives PL-12, I expect it to move up in BR and Gaijin adding J-8H to take its place. I am not so sure about J-8D as the main difference with J-8B is IFR ability.
