A 70° radar search range is fine, but when I’m in a game, I can’t directly scan the missiles launched by the enemy aircraft within 20km. It takes 5 seconds to detect them. Is this really aesa? It seems like there’s a double standard for Chinese radars.
idk what to tell you the chn aesa is already on the better side when it comes to those with similar search angles

At the Zhuhai Airshow, others captured photos of the J15T replacing the PL12A. The projectile is one-fifth longer than the PL12, and its export type PL12ae also indicates an improvement in range and propellant compared to the SD-10, which is also the export type PL12
I have made a second edit to my previous reply; please take a look.
That is exactly right. Using the J-10C after using the Rafale feels like wearing glasses over your contact lenses.
In the new update, the search frequency of AESA has been reduced, but I didn’t expect it to be so low. Now China’s radar is even worse than the Su30SM2 radar
can i have the picture, cause ive never seen it, also designation wise PL-12A and PL-12AE dont have to be necessarily related (see PL-11A and PL-11AE), furthermore the SD-10 is not the PL-12, the SD-10A is. SD-10 != SD-10A = PL-12

what was changed was the update time of the targets shown in TWS to like 0.0416 seconds for most ESA radars
China has very strict control over weapons, and at the Zhuhai Air Show, the PL12AE was also replaced. This export version can be said to be a reduced charge version of PL12A
In fact, it took 5 seconds for the RWR to respond before my TWS mode responded to the missile with its nose facing towards the direction of 5km, and even teleported back and forth between 15km and 5km
like i said the desgination PL-12AE doesnt have to imply any relation to a PL-12A being a similar or the same missile (eg PL-11A and PL-11AE), tho it most likley is, also ive not seen a singular piece of evidence that the PL-12AE/A is in active service or was.
In fact, pl11AE only replaces the guide head, and this technology is still used as pl11A. pl11A is a missile introduced by China in the 1980s, and the current pl11ae is an improvement made on this basis. It does not mean that it has not been used or installed. You also don’t want your country’s most advanced missile to be photographed and copied, right?
This is not the same missile my guy, the PL-11 is a Aspide copy (AIM-7 in simpler terms), PL-11A even questionable if it existed, while the PL-11AE doenst share anything par the designation with it, also i still want to see the J-15T with your claimed PL-12A

@mtj1005 From the images provided by this user, we can see that the PL-11AE and the PL-11 are fundamentally different. The PL-11AE features trapezoidal wings and tail fins similar to those of the PL-10. In addition, an optical glass section can be observed on the seeker, indicating that the PL-11AE likely uses infrared guidance for terminal homing. In contrast, the PL-11 is clearly a radar-guided missile, derived from the Italian Aspide.
Therefore, the PL-11AE is more likely an indigenous Chinese development, with a role and function similar to the Russian R-27ET.

Anyway to end it off, the PL-12AE designation is not directly proof of the PL-12A, tho imo PL-12A does exist, other issue is that PL-12A was never spotted until to this day and it was Gaijin´s intention from the very start to only give us a missile with upgraded guidance not kinematics. (As if i recall BVVD literally said in the DEV stream PL-12A = 120D function wise). Tho allowing us to make Bugreports via the PL-12AE was a case of add first- research later by gajin which got a lot of people hyped up for better kinematic´s.
considering the cowling exhibited by supplier company
