Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

they said PL12 will come together with similar missiles for other Nations

they didn’t say PL12 will come with similar missiles for every Nation

and that was confirmed by Smin again

yes, and also don’t forget the US would probably also get an AV8B+ or AV8B (NA) to try AMRAAMs

Well what could china put a PL-12 onto that competes in flight performance with a tornado or harrier?

J-10, inshallah

Bootleg F-16 gaming

… the statement is from a Devblog for a Plane which is already added

I don’t remember which J it was, I don’t know chinese planes well

The J-8F gets by with 6 PL-8’s, which isn’t a bad loudout when paired with its HMD

But PL-12’s would make it a much more rounded aircraft for its competition

That’s the J-8F right? i’d argue a big mig-21 is far more competitive than a strike craft in flight performance

Suffers from the delta wing syndrome, great in a first turn but gets eaten by anything in a prolonged fight

I want ma sexy J-7BGI!

ok again they did not say china will get PL12 together with the first Fox 3s, infact Fox 3s have been added a year ago

they said the PL12 won’t be alone, if that means it’ll come with the first AMRAAMs or with the big AMRAAM rollout is not clear or known to anyone

Speaking of Chinese stuff. What do you suppose they will add that uses PL-9 in the files? It’s an export only missile so best I can think of is a J-7 of some variety perhaps?

probably for an export Premium or Event plane

If indeed Su-27 gets added, where in the tree will it be placed? After Su-17s?

China is also weird cause like

The MLU could receive amraams along with the J-8F getting its PL-12’s

Wonder if both would get them simultaneously

That doesn’t surprise me, tbh.

Unless they change the lines, yeah.

Yak line, MiG line, Sukhoi line, Strike line, Bomber line

After Migs, gaijin generally goes by role of aircraft and not by manufacturer

It might go after Yak-141 but then again the Mig-29K might go there
