+1, cool aircraft!
Would also be the first aircraft in the game to have aspide missiles (pl-11) with a good radar

Both cool and a great way to end the first indigenous Chinese fighter designs.
Since the F-8IIM can mount r27r, can it obtain r27er like Mig29a9.12?
If the F-8IIM does not have an r27er, I believe this aircraft can replace the J8F in the 11.7 position after joining the game on PL12. If this aircraft obtains an r27er, it may increase to 12.0 or even 12.3

Damn I really want a Chinese squadron aircraft I have already reached 9.0 tanks with china ground but I can’t get myself to play the boring as hell ARB to unlock jets for CAS and anti cas gameplay
Would make for a good premium to replace the J-7D…which sucks harder than the eye of a tornado.

Hopefully it wont be completely removed from the game.

I already have it, but sure, for those that want it for “just a cool uptiered Chinese MiG-21” then I’d understand it. It’s why I got it after all. Too bad it performs so bad. I’d actually fly it in sim if it had IFF but it doesn’t even have that.
Moving it to techtree and grouping it with J-7II could be a good idea. But I know that isn’t possible since that would require refunding.

They’ve never done a refund. Copy paste TT version would be possible. Give it a slightly different skin and done.

This will fit as Chinese 12.0 well, or 12.7 with R-73.
In “China’s Navy Ships and Aircraft of the People’s Republic of China, 1955 - 2021”, it lists the F-8IIM as also mounting the JL-10A Radar (In 2004?)
any pic?
Sadly no, it could aslo be referencing J-8T
An absolute +1 from me. I’d hope to see this as China’s 12.0 premium, with the J-8F being instead replaced by the J-8H, which carries all the same weapons except the R-27, but also has LGBs.
In terms of which model to add, the early one is definitely better as the later one has much more advanced weapons, especially the ARH PL-12/SD-10 and UV/IR PL-9C and PL-5E-II, which would dramatically raise BR.
@Egret1
Is this for the '96 or '04 F-8IIM? I know the latter was designed to carry SD-10s and had a HMD, so that’d be my guess but I could be entirely wrong.

+1 as TT plane
I really want to see this one, as well as the J-8 Peace Pearl. I absolutely adore planes upgraded with more advanced foreign avionics (stuff like Mig-21-2000, Sea Harrier FRS.51, F-5E-2000, etc). Major +1, can’t wait to see more Finbacks!
