PLAAF General Discussion

since not too long ago several trainer planes were passed to developers including one for china(T-33), do you guys also hope to see the rest of the trainers being added to the chinese tech tree? ex. JL-8, JL-9 or JL-10

Which one is better to fly in general? J-7D or J-7E?

J-7E
yes it is a complete sentence

Mainly something like FTC-2000G or even JL-10 would be a cool addition.
Fun fact, JL-10 is one of the few modern Chinese aircraft that we get a close-up of its radar, it is a PESA system.

Is there any site that explains the differences between the Q-5 variants?

I come across this image, I dont really know the accuracy of it but it will be pretty cool to read the difference between all “variants”

This article talks about the variants, however as for how accurate it is, I’m not sure

naval J-35, not A

Both.

Sea Power Q-5A can carry PL-2s, oh but we can’t in the “realistic game” yet is 10.0 material

Sea power is incorrect, Q-5s were never able to mount a2a missiles it was just a suggestion

and the reason its 10.0 because its a super sonic with napalm and countermeasures, people keep bombing and get lots of SL and RP with it.

It barely hit Mach 1, especially with full loud out and enough fuel tho

Neither can the F-5A/C, yet they are infamously quick for their BR, energy retention and acceleration is the main factor for bombing, something which the Q-5/A-5s are very good at, besides it seems to me that bombing is slightly going out of fashion, compared to a year or two ago where half the team was gunning for the bases, now it seems people are more concerned with Air to Air, which is a great thing

chat am i on to something

i see userskin potential, like J-11(1969) skin on mirage F1C

Upcoming air tree rearrangement, only the J-11 was announced on the BR changes table though

Overall much happier with this… It gives the Taiwanese jets line space for the FCK and F-16V once those come, fixes the J-10 line and gives more space for a naval line maybe? I wonder if we’ll get J-16s after the JH-7A now.

I don’t understand why J11 is connected after H5. Is the fifth line reserved for the subtree?

The one I thought will be nicer would be that J7s and J8s are separated as well, with JH7 connecting with H5. J10s/J7s could go behind F84 line.

While casually reading through the wiki I noticed that the empty weight of the H-5 is the same as the IL-28 which is 13.12t but isn’t this technically wrong? I remember reading about differences between the two and a 110 kg(242 lbs) difference was stated due to the wing being a single piece or something like that, it might not be a very impactful difference but it still is a difference and should be 13.01t in game

The top tier Chinese is simply awful, both the J-10s and the J-11s are 110% painful
