The 120C does not simply increase its range by extending seeker battery life. It features noticeably reduced aerodynamic drag, clear off-the-rail maneuverability limits in its flight control system, a higher flight speed compared to the 120A/B, and improvements to its propulsion system, providing greater sustainment than the A/B variants.

To be honest, the in-game 3D model for the PL-12A is based on the PL12AE’s model.
The naming as “PL12A” is likely just Gaijin following the community manager’s logic—that the PL-12AE is merely a variant of the PL-12A—thus using the domestic “PL-12A” designation for non-export jets. This is similar to how the JF-17 uses the SD-10a in-game (where the in-game SD-10a is identical to the PL-12). However, the current PL-12A is essentially just a PL-12 (SD-10a) with a swapped model and a new seeker head.

Do have to point out that jeff uses the SD-10(A) and not the SD-10 (since the SD-10 is a different missile)

Thanks, I’ve corrected it.
So… are we just bound to get a PL-12 with… GNSS (pretty much useless) and no gimbal limit and thats it? no improved motor, no better agility, nothing? just a slightly heavier PL-12? great…
seems like it sadly, unless someone can find a statement from manufacturer that the bug report managers accept
I don’t comprehend the logic. I do understand that a edited photo is not a valid source, but speed was already accepted from a earlier issue
Also made this, cause they forgot to add the double rack of the gnss only LS-6 250:

Has the KD-88A appeared in a airshow, or the export variant TL-17? (with description saying it is IR)
Gajing is not gonna accept logic, reasoning or sources that is most likely true, but they seem to accept airshow information.

the website: https://m.163.com/dy/article/CI0JESGQ0517BR8G.html
claims it has 220 km range, warhead of 280 kg and has data link, ( but im unsure how they even got this information )
seems to match what other sources say

What do you want to prove? IR seeker?
yep, it’s important to make the missile even usable

also my issues got denied, kinda knew this would happen as basic logic is not accepted here

No, it used to be a copy of the KH-59, but now it has different FM and warhead characteristics.

thx for telling me, did not realized a update just dropped, and I would have wasted more time.
Do you know by any chance if the Maximum allowed rocket release speed is correct?
Most likely correct.
There’s no data on the KD-88, but the KH-59 and SLAM are also limited to 0.9-1 m in real life.
