Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

Well considering there is 0 information on the fabled “PL-12A” and PLAAF doesn’t use the PL-12AE and PL-15 is very unsuitable for the current game meta/modes we’re highly likely to get the pl-12 only

Cough up an image for the J-16 then 🤷‍♂️

Well then i’d just play the PLAAF Su-35 until they lift the artificial nerf, fairly simple answer there

I posted 3 images of the cockpit in which you can see the layout of all the mfd’s

Not basically, it is

I dont disagree. But without information you can’t just claim its so

maybe pl12a?there is virtually no “A”,they don’t distinguish between early and late,both call pl12

Fairly sure pl12ae is export only
And they use pl15 not pl12a

Su-35 also has aesa radars in conjunction with its pesa, albeit in the wings

Signifigantly less powerful than a main array though, possibly not suitable for BVR at relevant ranges

Yeah definitely true, although saying su35 doesn’t have aesa is wrong

Well I was under the Impression that the current PL-12 is an ‘early’ with dumbed down performance to match the AMRAAMs back when fox 3s released, and that a later one (branded PL-12A would come out) with better kinematics could come out, similarly to R-77-1

Current PL-12 is a copy of the SD-10

Which is my point…
We need a newer variant to keep up with the competition, especially as the J-10B/C and J-15/16s start to get added

If I remember correctly,pl12(early) = sd10 and pl12(late)=sd10a?but in the game,they are wrong.
what I know is 180kg with m4 and 199kg with m5,but it’s 198kg with m4

North Korea also made a fox3 from a pl12 i think

Considering most aircraft loadouts in game are fictional they should just add the PL-12AE and name it PL-12A and call it a day

Max launch range 70kg lol

PL-12(early)=SD-10A, PL-12(late)=PL-12AE. The SD-10 is not in service.
