You guess dev consider upgrade F-16A Block 20 MLU in tech tree add 2 LANTIRN pods (AN/AAQ-19 Sharpshooter targeting pod & AN/AAQ-20 Pathfinder navigation pod), GBU-10/GBU-12 Paveway II, AIM-9P replace by AIM-9P4, AIM-9M replace AIM-9L, AGM-65G-2 Maverick & AIM-120 AMRAAM after Q2 this year ?

I hope so, all of those things seem possible late this year or early next year. AIM-9P4’s are long overdue.

They may skip right to AIM-120C-5’s for the F-16A MLU since they’re going to add the PL-12 for the J-8F. Then AIM-120C-7’s shortly after.

And dev consider AIM-9P-4 replace AIM-9P & AIM-9L replace with AIM-9M this year ?

It seems possible. LANTIRN more than likely this year, AIM-9M as well, but devs seem like they’re averse to adding AIM-9P4

+1 to this. I would also like to see other WW2 designs such as:

Curtis H-75M: Fixed undercarriage version of the venerable P-36 which was used by ROCAF against Japan:

Curtiss H-75A-5: It would fit nicely before the CW-21 in the tree, as both are Curtiss-Wright products. H-75A-5 could be BR 2.0-2.3

F-CK-1A MLU and F-CK-1C seem that are same thing now, right?

F-CK-1A MLU upgrade F-CK-1A similar to F-CK-1C standard, I think F-CK-1A fill gap between F-CK-1A & F-CK-1C

It is mentioned in these two topics that both seem to be referred to as F-CK-1C, their abilities are also the same, so I think it’s best to keep only one.


I made this, and I think the future of Chinese TT will be similar, of course, the specific details depend on Gaijin.

In game they can be most likely referred to as F-CK-1C (early) and F-CK-1C.

Only main difference being conformal fuel tanks for the F-CK-1C (early). This one can be a squad, event or premium vehicle. Or can also go in the the tech tree under a folder since gaijin is more pro foldering now.

Yeah, they will do it.

WIP Chinese tech tree I’ve been making on and off

BR’s are just place holders.

Ahhh, Why F-16A Block 20 move to rank IX ? and AIDC AT-3 & AT-3B to rank VI ?

AIDC AT-5 it’s new supersonic jet trainer/ light multirole combat aircraft for ROCAF ?

Actually J-7G better J-7M but why J-7G under J-7M ?

For the F-16 block 20 it’s because I’m regarding it as fully upgraded. For the others, I’m not too sure on how to balance them, this is mainly to show what planes can come to the Chinese tech tree.

I’ll add and fix the ordering later once I get the chance.

Ok, nobody cares about CAS planes in 8.7-9.7, is there any one remember AT3B/XA-3?

That mean after dev buff upgraded F-16A Block 20 could add AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM, 2 LANTIRN pods (AN/AAQ-19 Sharpshooter targeting pod & AN/AAQ-20 Pathfinder navigation pod), GBU-10 & GBU-12 Paveway II, AGM-65G-2 Maverick, AGM-84G Harpoon, AN/ALQ-184 ECM pod and AN/VDS-5 LOROP-EO reconnaissance pod ?

And AIDC AT-5 Brave Eagle as a new supersonic jet trainer/Multirole light combat aircraft from ROCAF ?🦅

Yes, the fully buffed F-16A block 20 with all of its modifications.

I’d don’t think the AIDC AT-5 is supersonic, so it could be a good aircraft after the F-5’s with all aspect TC-1’s or AIM-9P4’s.

Personally, I expect at least this year gaijin consider buff F-16A Block 20 add LANTIRN (AN/AAQ-19 Sharpshooter targeting pod & AN/AAQ-20 Pathfinder navigation pod), AGM-65G Maverick, GBU-10 Paveway & GBU-12 Paveway II laser guided bomb, AIM-9P replace by AIM-9P4 and add AIM-9M replace AIM-9L
