You can check the J-8F devblog. J-8F only used PL-12 in real life but it is considered too op at the time of its introduction to the game, so it was taken away.

ah, also i know this isnt the place but what missle can JH-7A equip on the trio pylon? i think it was 1 PL-12 and 2 PL-11?
no PL11 but PL8
Currently all issues raised to add PL-11 / PL-12 for JH-7A have been rejected by Gaijin, so I don’t expect these will be added.

Did they at the least acknowledge the sources though?
Unfortunately not. From what I saw, the following have been reject:
- Photo of JH-7A launching PL-11 < Gaijin said it was photoshoped
- Photo of JH-7A with PL-12 on the ground in an airshow < Gaijin said it was likely LD-10 not PL-12

J-11A maybe this upcoming update? Reasonable and this leak list mentions it and so far it’s correct.
Be prepared my Chinese brothers!
It is possible it is actually J-11 (from original leaker screen shot) not J-11A, but yeah, it is good that China air can get the attention it needs.
Xian JH-7A & JH-7A2 never employ active radar homing medium-range BVR SD-10A in PLAAF service ?
Light Multirole combat aircraft Guizhou FTC-2000G and Hongdu L-15B armed medium-range BVRAAM SD-10 ?
For JH-7A variants in PLAAF, there are no photo evidence of them carrying PL-11 or PL-12 over the years.
For the export light attach aircrafts, SD-10 has always been advertised as one of the possible armament.
OMG
4 x PL-15, 4 x PL-10, one PL-12 and one PL-17
the wingtip can also be equipped with two missiles
I suppose if dual pylons were used, it can carry more missiles?
yes, China has this technology, but it is rarely used
AWACS killer missiles, BVR missiles, and WVR missiles. It is indeed the ultimate flanker. It looks much more powerful than the Su-35.

With a J-11 variant almost certainly to come thiis update, I wonder Gaijin will model the difference between Su-27S and Su-27SK (slightly different avionics, reinforced landing gear, heavier payload)

They usually have in the past, but my question is if the Chinese changed anything when they produced the first J-11’s or will they be identified to the SK?

China’s Su-27sk is still called Su-27sk. Only the Su-27 made in China is called J-11A. Maybe a little bit of domestic equipment is added?

Usually I don’t quote wiki, but wiki’s descirption of J-11 variants seem pretty accurate:
Su-27SK:
- Export version of the Su-27S, with a reinforced landing gear allowing for a 33 tonnes maximum take-off weight, and a N001M radar with additional air-to-ground modes.
J-11:
-
Chinese assembled Su-27SK derivative with Russian-supplied kits in early production run, differs from the original Su-27SK mainly in avionics: the original N001M radar developed by Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design (NIIP) with NII (Russian acronym for Scientific Research Institute) Argon Ts101 processor installed on Su-27SK is replaced by NIIR N001V radar using NII Argon Ts101M processor. In comparison to the N001M that would lose all remaining targets tracked when engaging 1 of tracked target, the N001V radar on J-11 can simultaneously track 10 targets and engage 1 of the 10 tracked without losing the rest 9 tracked during engagement.
-
The original Russian navigation system was woefully inadequate to meet the PLAAF need, so a domestic Chinese system was installed, but due to incompatibility, information could not be displayed on the CRT display of the Russian flight instruments; and as a result, Chinese added another CRT display atop of the original CRT display to show the navigational information pilot needed.
-
By 2015, J-11s were upgraded with Chinese-made MAWS. Unconfirmed upgrades included improved cockpit displays, and fire control systems for R-77 or PL-10 missiles
J-11A:
-
Chinese assembled Su-27SK from Russian-supplied kits in late production run, differs from J-11 mainly in avionics: the original NIIP N001V radar with NII Argon Ts101M processor on J-11 is replaced by NIIR N001VE radar on J-11A using Baguet BCVM-486-6 processor, resulting in N001VE on J-11A being capable of simultaneously engaging two of ten targets tracked with semi-active radar homing (SRAH) air-to-air missiles (AAM) and compatibility for R-77/RVV-AE; as well as capabilities of moving target indication (MTI) and mapping, detecting low flying or hovering helicopters, and increased tracking distance up to 70 km.
-
By the later stage of the production run, China solved the incompatibility problem previously had, and flight instruments was upgraded accordingly, so the two display-only CRT displays on J-11 were replaced by a single multi-function LCD surrounded by control keys on three sides. The original Russian radar warning receivers have also been replaced by a more capable domestic Chinese missile approach warning system (MAWS).
