So, any updates on that report? Cause I would really like this fly this plane, but I’m not touching it till its fixed.

Let’s just focus on adding AGM first, ASM can come later
Also a note to everyone: be careful when posting here
Not even AGM, giving its 250kg pylons smart capabilities would be a good start.

I believe that there is a 强5乙 version designed with a down leaning front to increase visibility to the sea surface. Is it probable for that variant to carry the ASM? I am just speculating. Also, I believe the 强五甲 is able to carry hydrogen bombs, is it true?
a special type, specially used for carrying hydrogen bombs, to defend possible USSR invasion that time
since Q5L is going to 10.7, it’s time to BUFF it
You mean make it historically accurate?

having more weapons and choices
It have better engine compared to Jaguar, and comparable cas weapon, 2 LGB. Give it flares would be fine, and AAMs better, but still no proof of it having aams.
I am just curious about the translation, I suppose 甲 means Q5I, but is it not weird how it can carry a 5 ton nuke, but only 4 250kg bombs otherwise, that’s 1 tonne of payload, there is no way they increased its payload by 4 tonnes right?
The Q5L is going to 10.7, but where is the SU25, still 10.0 whilst A10 is 10.7 as well. If this is not biased, then what is? The Su25 enjoys much better payload than Q5L, and also has flares, why is it 0.7lower BR? The supersonic ability is not worth all of its downsides and 0.7 BR.

different plane, nuke carrier has a half buried bomb bay
Gaijin’s idea is these LGB carrier can attack outside the SPAA’s range, inefficient but safe, so they need to go up. But SU-25 is a super CCIP CAS, it needs to directly fight in SPAA’s range, efficient but dangerous.

From efficiency aspect, even Alphajet is better than these jets with 2 LGB. For me, it’s hard to judge.
Just asking why does it have to fight the SPAAs? It has KH25MLs which have a range of 10km, which is impossible for all SPAA at 10.0-11.0 to reach, whilst the Q5L in an up tier has to fight against potential ROLAND and PANTSIRs. The same logic does not even apply for the A10s. The Q5Ls only have 8 250kg bombs, which does not fully destroy a base. I have to dogfight with 23 mm guns at 9.7, whilst the SU25 gets to use R60s at stock. Also just mentioning, how is it that the two planes have such different payload if they are based off the same plane where the Q5L is only able to carry 2 tonnes of ammunition and the Q5甲 can carry 5 tonnes?

He made a mistake. The H-bomb is not 5 ton but about 1 ton.

I think its 5 ton TNT equivalent not 5 ton in mass
It is a hydrogen bomb. Only 5 ton TNT equivalent is somewhat hilarious.
Isn’t this a tactical nuke/hydrogen bomb? If it is then 5 ton TNT equivalent is normal.
it has no pods, need to guide the missile with hud, using kh-25ml or kh-29l will make it a steady target for any spaa. it’s main job is throwing s-25.
so, in br change, it go 9.3 in air rb
Not sure about the design detail, but the nuke carrier is a very specially made jet, it’s only job is carry the nuke, so I think they can’t be compared.
and the maximum weight, I think gaijin fabricate it, it should be able to carry more, but sadly, still no evidence.
edit: someone explained
this is a problem, but I think there will be a decompression soon, and move ground top to 12.0, maybe it would be better that time. And 10.7 grb now, usually plays with around 10.0, seldom go 11.7.
A-10a late has the best CAS loadout this br. AGM-65D can lock moving target at 12km. but it has no pod, agm-65d’s resolution and scale are awful, so it can fire about 5-6km away, and it doesn’t need to keep tracking and guiding. It’s terrible speed suggests that you should not get close to spaa’s range.
some source say it’s 100000kg, some say 8000, not sure which is true. and some article say it’s not hydrogen bomb, it’s modified from a hydrogen trigger, meaning it’s a small atom bomb
The Q5 series after Q5III/C are all modified based on Q5III/C, Q5III can install domestically produced AAMs, while the exported version of A5C is compatible with AAMs from other countries, so Q5L should also be able to produce AAMs
