Q-5L and its weaponary

@Sonoda_Kotori

AShM variant was cancelled in the late 70s and the missile went on to serve with the Type 024III missile boat.

Iirc the Q-5Bing with AShms did get tested, but not with very good results

Could be wrong, been a while since i read the book containing information on it.

Q-5Bing

Q-5 with the ugly nose cone?

[thethrill820]

Both the Q-5Bing with Torpedoes and Q-5Bing with AShMs have the weird noses

[阿依土鳖的罗初]

Q5 is better to obtain two PL5B or PL7 rounds, BR maintains a balance of 10.7

[NCC105]

something like a TT A-5C but with CAS ability would be good, TT Q-5s are almost same in air battle and it’s boring

[Miraz05]

That would be A-5M

A-5M

poll A-5M [A-5M] Hello everyone :), what I would like to introduce today is A-5M made by Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. Introduction After the A-5C was exported to Pakistan in 1981, the Pakistani side was relatively satisfied with the aircraft’s performance, but believed that the aircraft’s electronic equipment was outdated. In order to further expand the foreign market and meet operational needs, China’s Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant began seeking foreign partners in 1…

A-5M seems no good cas ability, only unguided weapons

[Miraz05]

But at least we can consider it as A-5C’s TT counterpart

[NCC105]

Add Q-5L some missiles can also do.

[141_allen]

I think, its the really funky head nose cone.

[Miraz05]

yes that one. Coloring the nose green made it 100x uglier

[141_allen]

What is it for, I failed to find any official documents on what the modification was for?

[Miraz05]

This was meant to be a torpedo carrier and Anti ship missile carrier Q-5L and its weaponary - #71 by Sonoda_Kotori

Nanchang Q-5Yi "31124"

Spoiler

This is the initial version of at least three iterations labeled with the suffix ‘B’. The decision to transform the Q-5 into a naval variant was influenced by previous unsuccessful attempts to convert J-5 fighters for torpedo-carrying purposes. Taking this into consideration, the PLANAF (People’s Liberation Army Naval Air Force) opted to modify the Q-5 for this specific role, and it is believed that the studies commenced in 196…

Finding surface targets

Yo. So uhh, we got CMs on this thing now, FINALLY.
The plane is, however, still missing more CM launchers though, at least to my knowledge.
Anyone got anything on that ( and missiles as well)?

Apparently when the mods closed my acknowledged bug report on this ‘for better sources’ they failed to deliver this page to the devs (either that or the devs didn’t bother looking at it), which specifically shows the Type 941 flare pod in a Chinese book dedicated to the Q-5. Now, I’m just a dumb engineer but that surely looks like 32 small caliber flare slots with 2 units? Sarcasm aside, yes it’s missing flares, yes the Q-5A is also effected, total count should be 64. They copy-pasted the flare pods from the A-5C, which are different flare pods entirely that were requested by the customer. If I have time I may write up the report AGAIN this weekend.

[141_allen]

Is it historically true that Q5 can not fly upside down or fuel supply will be insufficient?

[thethrill820]

I think that may have been a problem with early variants, but certainty not late variants

[141_allen]

Well all of them in game have the problem, it seems all planes can’t do it, it’s just a matter of time before the engine stalls.

[アストルフォくん]

But there are no photographs showing that the PLAAF Q5 is equipped with AAM.

By the logic of basing on photographs alone, the MiG-19 cannot use an afterburner because there is not a single photograph of video frame showing it in use (even though we obviously know it can thanks to real world technical documentation, etc)
