Shenyang J-8 'FINBACK' History, Design, Performance & Discussion

it’s not a technical problem but a balance problem

I just need definitive proof for it so i can put in a suggestion for it to receive it, the only one i can find is this one that seems to have no sources in name, although there might be an image hidden.

I’d play the J-8F so much if it had PL-8B’s. Right now it’s sad

I can only get this but should be useable

It’s still quite good in sim, it slaps in it because you can actually play it as an interceptor and just farm people with arh missiles. Air rb… it’s quite garbage.


It’s a shame because it really has the best flight model of all the 13.0 fox 3 slingers not including the f-14b, as it’s much better than the phantom or harrier while being slightly better than the kfir

Yeah I’ve found that image too, however, after some more digging looks like it was already submitted as a suggestion 2+ years ago… doubt we’ll get it now

The problem is that in the game it is impossible to take GPS bombs without a designation pod while in real life you just need to coordinate GPS

You can designate an area for ur bomb to target using the map:

Yes of course, but Gaijin has not implemented the script for GPS bombs, so it is impossible to do it without a pod. T-T

kinda funny how this thing can super cruise at low altitude… granted im at 2 minutes of fuel but still

Thats a J8H
