Also, what version of J11A is currently in game, because if it is the MAWS version, surely it would carry Chinese weapons or at least weapons with Chinese designations and not FABs and OFABs right?
It is hard to identify it. Having the MAWS doesn’t necessarily mean it has a different weapons. It is generally acknowledged that the first Sino flanker to have Chinese missiles is the J-11B.

Is there any sino-flankers with PL11?
Also regarding the J11A, I am more talking about the bombs, if we can find specifics about J11A with bombs and rather with bombs of either Chinese designation or Chinese bomb.
They use Russian Bombs, similarly to how Su-30 only fields russian bombs.
No idea about the PL-11, honestly i don’t even see why we should consider it since we are heading to a full PL-12 meta for us.

I guess only J-10As used it right?
I just want domestic stuff lmao
Yeah me too, but i really don’t have any info on the PL-11s
J-10s, J-8(?), JH-7A, potentially others.
Yeah, i hope to see a new line for the J-10s.
I have a feeling that in next update, China will get F-16A MLU with FOX-3 and Su-30MKK/MK2 instead of J-11B. The Chinese Su-30 is not that different from Russian Su-27SM performance wise if their anti-radar / anti-ship missiles are omitted.
They could also double down and give us a full Taiwan update with either the Abrams or the CM34 and the Taiwanese Mirage.

Su-30MKK is based off Su-30MK.
Su-30MK2 uses N001VEP Radar.
looks like we’ll have to wait for either j10 or j11b to have a meta fighter. J10 in particular is interesting beacuse it appears to have maneuverability on par with the eurofighters rafales gripen etc
Su30MKK nothing to do with Su30M2, or rather that Su30M2 is a domestic version of SU30MKK/MKI combined. Su30M2 was developed after Su30MKK in late 1990s when Yeltsin’s economic stuff forced all the companies to look for work to survive, and in that situation Su30MKK based off T10-M4 prototype was produced as a transfer of the group originally working on Su35UB. SU30M was a domestic version latter produced for FRAF incorporating SU30MKK and MKI technology. SU30MKK was developed by KnAPPO MKI by Irkutsk, who are not related at this stage and Su30MKI was based off Su27UB. Su30MKI and MKK’s prototypes were 2 separate proposals to Soviet/Russian Airforce of multirole fighter.
Both MKI and MKK were solely developed with the intent of export for certain countries (Su-30MKK id tailored to PLAAF needs)
