Is there any report open for the J-15T countermeasure amount?
I mean an actual one, not a “trust me bro”.
Not that I can remember any.
Nose and Wing gears have been fixed however :D

time to use that old 9.0 trick.
48 chaff with rockets pods as flare.

Haha, I guess so.
That did remind me, how about we do actually ask for those soviet chaff rockets?
whats that ?
all things considered, what is the actual difference vs pl12 and pl12a? anything other than gnss?
no gimbal limit at the moment. if your radar has some sort of lock, you can launch.
Not sure if anyone has already brought this up yet but the pylons for the PL-12s and PL-12As are still messed up. They use the wrong ejectors for both the J-15T and J-11B iirc.
The dual mounting for the PL-12A however is correct funny enough
Longer battery life, no launch gimbal limit and adjustments for improved range (120km).
No gimbal limits, so it can pull off this stuff when launched in track-mem:
Unlike Aim-120D’s, the PL-12A has enough pull to make this feature a viable tactic.

So would you agree that it is 14.7 worthy even with 48 cms, also, any news about the potential for it to be turned into 96 small ones?

I basically like everything about this jet, but not the 48 cm amount, that is WAY too low, especially for 14.7 which is 300 missiles mess at the same time.
I hope the devs have been looking into the possibility of changing the countermeasures into small caliber, like you said, it would be already a step in the right direction.
Apart from that, the missile count, radar and FM are good enough imo.

i heard they have been looking into buffing it artificially
May I ask where this has been stated?
On stream they were looking at if the countermeasure banks were the same size on different planes so you could swap them out
BVVD in the stream explicitly said they were looking into it, especially the chaff count, like 48 large to say 96 small.
I feel like against the 14.3, it is a large side grade, plus a few small upgrades, but since most 14.3 got buffed I don’t really see the lack of competition there, instead 14.7 is quite tough, compared to even the most comparable, the Su30SM2 it is worse in just about every way possible.
thank you i cant remeber where i heard it
Thanks, totally missed this part.
There is irony here, since the AIM-120D should be far more maneuverable than any PL-12 variant thus far. AIM-120D is also confirmed to have high angle off-boresight capability.
The only missiles the Chinese flankers have access to with HOBS capability is the R-73 currently, and in the future maybe the PL-10.
