That is no quite right cause if you remember PL12 was designed for J8F not J10, but J8F was into service in 2003 which should presumably mean PL12 was ready otherwise J8F would be into service with 0 BVR capability as PL11 was not compatiable with it. We do have J10 basic models (like real ones modified out of a real J10) that carry PL12s but I think it matters little cause J10 definitely should have the avionics and radar for PL12, the real thing is how would GAIJING evaluate PL12 with J10.
Hello @Smin1080p_WT I’ve seen tech mods mention remodelling of the King Tigers’ x-ray layouts under a few bug reports, are there plans to also update their visual and damage models? The dated turret model on Tiger II (P) is visibly inaccurate compared to Kungstiger’s which drastically affects the damage model
Well maybe scratches itch maybe if we got some of that nice Indian spices in the TT in the form of a native Indian vehicle, or from when they were part of the Empire (cough ACV-IP 1.0 event pls cough), peeps might finally get India is here to stay xD
There isn’t much information on CN internet about J8F, but I did find a blog claiming that 8F didn’t get pl12 missile till 2006, the plane upgrade was planned approx at the same time of pl12 project, and finished early.
edit:
there are also unreliable sources claiming that J8F came out in 2005.
This plane is still not completely out of service, tho only few left now. So not really hopeful to get authoritative information about J8F.
Hey Smin!
Looking at folders, is there a development planned to allow for the next vehicle in line get the research bonus from any of the folder’s vehicle? For example the 1st of the Meteor could get the bonus from both the Spitfire Mk22 and Mk 24. It’s sad having to get back in the tree to get the bonus.
Then you’ll love hearing that it’s only the first of three Thai capability upgrades!
The second capability upgrade, and the first step of a further upgrade then known as F-5T, introduced compatibility with Python 4 missiles and a new glass cockpit featuring HMD.
The third capability upgrade was the intended second step to the F-5T, now renamed to F-5TH to avoid confusion with the Singaporean F-5T. This one receives a new PD radar in exchange for one of the two cannons, as well as a lot of new weapons including Python 4/5 and IRIS-T short range missiles, Derby BVR missiles, GBU-12 laser guided bombs with Litening III targeting pod and SkyShield jamming pod.
It’s the CN policy on archive and secret documents, since CN does have the ability to keep everything secret, so why not?
Well… according to the Secrecy Law, we might be able to have J8F declassified in this decade… or maybe not.
Smin, do you know what would be cool with foldered vehicles?
Currently you would get an 110% bonus when researching the following vehicle, (in this case the Scimitar F Mk.1 while the foldered one sits just there, it would be cool if these foldered vehicles would also give some bonus for the research lets say 110 as current for the main vehicle and 120% for the one in the folder :)
