yes and I agree with you, for me gaijin should put first the C-701 and C-704 missiles which have stats very equivalent to what is done with the AGM-65
Last I heard JH-7A has its best munitions already
Not even close, it’s missing the PL-8Bs, the PL-12s and the option to carry 4x KH-29T/TEs (either variant, not so sure if it carried the TE).
And the J-11s we have can’t bring great air to ground weapons
The J-11A we’ve got in-game should be capable of carrying air to surface weapons but there is a lack of sources since most information on Chinese aircraft are scarce and therefor it not being present in-game.

We already have GBU-15, Martel, Spike in game. And manual guidance not implemented yet.
Please, who knows what is the radar that is widely equipped on the J11B? Type 1474? Type 1493? Or is it an unknown PESA?
PL-8Bs would make it 13.x, PL-12s would make it 13.3 minimum pre-decompression.
It’s fine without them, and has historical loadouts irrelevant of having those weapons.
“Last I heard JH-7A has its best munitions already”
I was responding to this sentence, not that I want the PL-8B and PL-12 on the JH-7A. What I do want however is a late variant of the JH-7A with both the PL-8B and PL-12 since Russia now finally has their SU-34, it’s inexcusable that China should be restricted whilst Russia is allowed to roam without a leash.
It’d also would be 13.0 with the PL-5E IIs/PL-12s & the regular PL-8s or 13.3 with the PL-8Bs/PL-12s.

Pretty sure the J-11B was equipped with the Type 1493 radar but I may be wrong, it’ll be something good I can assure you however.
That string was in the context of air to ground as that was what I was replying to.
And “best for the BR” exists as well.
Anything better than PL-8/Python 3, AIM-9L, etc will inevitably be worse for the new BR because you step away from airframe performance BR the more you add.
Since the news of J11B and J10B, I started thinking again, can we make another petition for the current tech tree to be modified, cause if I have to do Mirage 5EI, and buy it to research J10B it would be so frustrating. Like 2 weeks of labour for nothing.

Wouldn’t be surprised if J-10B will be folded with J-10A. Same for J-11B with J-11A
J-10B armed domestic chinese 5th gen infrared Air-to-Air Missile PL-10 ?
And carry PL-12A ?
IIRC it can, but I doubt we will see them any time soon. Best case scenario is already in game PL-12 and PL-8B
Never. Gaijing need u to spend more time.
PL-10 will probably only come for J-10C, or a mid-life upgrade airframe of the J-10A that includes the JKL-24 AESA radar and integrates PL-15s for it as well.
50-50 chance the j10b doesn’t get anything for air to ground, actually it’s got the same air to air loadout as the A so they’ll probably give it pl8B’s and call it a new plane.
Some nice footage from ZhuHai Airshow. Anybody know what the right J-15 is carrying? ECM pods?
J-11B (Early) and J-11BH
J-11B Late outfitted Type 1493 radar and armed PL-10
No, that’s not what I need. I mean “widely equipped”, let’s say what is the radar used by the vast majority of J11Bs? I and many Chinese military enthusiasts think that it should be the Type 1493, and the Type 1474 is only a small part. But here it’s the other way around, so I’m wondering why and what the specific sources are. After all, you know, a better radar will make me have more fun :)
Those are ECM pods yes, that is the J-15D, basically a Chinese counterpart to the Growler.

PESA radar is probably just rumor originated from western media since I have not seen any talk about it from Chinese sources. Also why upgrade to PESA when other PLA aircraft are already using AESA radar. On Type 1493 vs Type 1474 there seems to be more people supporting it is Type 1493 as Type 147x is smaller size radar fit for medium fighter like J-10.
