It looks like the only photo of a PL-1* launch from the second pylon of a J-16?

most likely a PL-12 or PL-15, latter being more likely if you look at the “black stripes”

No, its mean something, the us abram sepv3 got accepted 3 months before it got added.

Same with su30mkk.
Its very possible it will get added the next update.

Depends. Its still get the usual 6 fox 3 missile. I think ?

Now list all the examples of vehicles being passed to the devs years before they got introduced.

Or all the vehicles that got added without their suggestions even being passed to the devs.

but there is a trend that you can guess which are random passed which are last time pass.
like the Leopard with APS, is surely for next patch, J-11BHG is also very likely.

I also think it’s a PL-15.
The only question is the pylon. I found another similar photo, but they share the problem that it’s a photo from the cockpit, so it’s impossible to tell 100% which pylon it is

Its a PL-15 it has a much slimmer and pointier seeker section compared to the PL-12

Since they already gave the J-15T the imaginary dual AAM pylon from a magazine it’d also likely get the same ones

The suggestion itself also implies (in the armament section), that a further pylon is able to mount a pl12

6/8 x PL-12

6 x PL-8B

4 x PL-10

6 x PL-15

The J-11BG/BGH has the exact same amount of hardpoints as the existing J-11’s already in game. The only variant with an extra hardpoints is the J-11D

I think J-16 has additional 2 hard points as well

Yes… but hear me out J-16≠J-11

That makes it a tough choice. On one hand, there’s the J-10C with its excellent flight model and payload. On the other, there’s the J-11B (late), which will likely have more countermeasures but inferior acceleration and payload. That’s assuming they’re at the same BR, of course… If the J-11B (late) ends up at BR 14.7, then the choice is obvious.

I suppose they’re not all too similar in that regard

So there are some issues id like to see fixed that wouldnt change shit

  1. grab handles in the 15T´s cockpit
  2. angle the 15T´s radar in Xray
  3. Return the 11b´s GMTI and SEA modes

I think it might just be because of the wide-angle lens. The PLA Air Force really likes those GoPro-style panoramic wide-angle lenses, which makes the missile look like it’s on pylon 2. In reality, based on in-game simulated camera angles, it’s actually on pylon 4.
