What does the PL-8B have over the one in game?
Much better motor and a 4 element IRCCM seeker
Think R-27T with Python 4 IRCCM
Simply go into 0°C temperatures
She’ll install a gasoline generator for herself Lol
so guys, with AESA rafale, when will we get AESA F-15C, F-15E, and F-16C?
Probably with the ASEA EF

So a Python 3 with a better motor and IRCCM…
Never 😃
Bingo
Didn’t someone data mine PL-8bs a while back?
eh, EF doesnt need an AESA to compete against rafale, id say the F-16 and F-15 need it more
thats only on very late EF versions too
CAPTOR-E Mk 2 beats all of them (it entered service like last week)

an APG-82v1 can probably beat it in power and range and T/R count though (its a big radar)
let alone the mythical APG-85
Considering that CAPTOR-E beat out the R*fale’s PESA radar I’d like to think the Typhoon is still better.
Maybe, I’m not sure but they would likely come with the J-10B and J-11B along with Python 4s.
I think they were planned for dance of dragons and than everything went off the rails when Gaijin found out about the 4 element seeker.
Interesting fact:
The PL-8 we have in game is actually a PL-8A with a PL-8B visual model and is somehow named the PL-8.

PESA was old gen radar, would be more fair against rafale AESA
why
Ah whatever. It’s still a Python 3 at the end of the day.
I think python 4 > pl-8B. I don’t think it has the same gigantic overload. Python 4 can be launched almost behind your back.
Maybe. We’ll have to see with the de-classified and unrestricted documents we all have on these radars. No? Ah well.
