But…the community manager stated that the PL-12AE is the export version of the PL-12A. Whom should we believe?

Well fact is there is no proof of a Pl-12A existing, only if you go off chinese naming it exists and as shown above that isnt consistent.There has also been no missile spotted that visually fits the PL-12AE´s. Nothing against Smin btw.

This surely implies that we should ask for PL-15E )))

but considering most photos we seen are the blue payload missile, which don’t have any details about the missile itself.
I believe PL-12A is widely used, considering PLA seldom show their new loadouts

The only issue i have is that its named PL-12A instead of AE not the addition of it (funny that it isnt considering they use the Vis model of the AE with SD20A written on it)

because it is not the ae, ae has a modified seaker and booster which the ingame pl-12a doesnt right now

does the J15T out dogfight the SM2 on dev server has anyone flown both ?

It has a slight STR advantage over the SM2 but its hard to tell as TVC still can provide better nose authority - plus the lack of R-73 or PL-10 on the J-15T is also an issue in close up fights.

Was there a new dev patch or something?

I haven’t seen anything in the datamines

the dev wasnt updated since yesterday unless they pushed a serverside fix which i doubt

Really? As far as I know, the high-altitude ram performance of the WS-10B is still terrible

Its not been changed since the first update to the dev server. He was looking at old data mining notes since they take a long time to come out

Watch them not give slams to the us. At this point its crazy

3.3 update?That is actually a weakening.

tbh thatd be hillarious but yea its taking quite a long as the model was added into the files tho it doesnt really mean anything

Given that the 120D has a “range” of 185km I don’t see what’s wrong with wanting the PL15 ))))))

i mean the pl-12a is just a pl12 with a different stat card so just wait for gaijing to mess up the pl-15 lol
