Only for the first production J-8, which is literally just J-8
I’ll fix it
I assume J-8 could be 9.3 BR at rank 6 and located after Shenyang J-6A & Chengdu J-7II
suggestion fixed
Checked it, the J-8 is the name though i suggest you mention this post is just about the first production J-8
The naming rule of Chinese vehicles is really weird and they sometimes dont give a new name for small upgrades
And thanks for correcting the picture
I believe the J-8 Daytime and this J-8 are relatively the same, only one of my books really mentions there being a J-8 Daytime Fighter variant, but it is near identical to the J-8 suggestion i made.
yeah they are the same plane afaik
this J-8 was called J-8 Daytime because it only have a radar gunsight so it could only intercept enemy at daytime
oh so then it is the same thing, just misconception about designations.
Thanks for your time, feel free to correct me if im wrong
I heard some source said it’s Type 226
Should be one soon (presuming it gets accepted)

Should i make a suggestion for these?
Also btw dm me anything you want suggested for chinese aviation.
Yes, please go ahead. I was trying to do it myself for some of those but it took me ages to do the research.
But I quite believe you have got potential make 4 suggestions Shenyang J-8 series
Of the j-8 (non II) variants i would prefer most the J8-E which was a upgrade to the original airframe with better equipment, radar, and countermeasures. The J-8 initial might not be very fun to play if it’s not given a good spot in the matchmaker like the f104A or J6

J-8I
Currently the J8E (J-8IE) would perform very Similarly to the J-8B Block 02 (the one in game), so I’m a little hesitant on suggesting it, the only thing it doesn’t have is the Apsides compared to the J-8B and a slightly slower top speed, but I’ll look into it.
I mainly suggest due to the addition of an all aspect radar warning receiver, type 941 flare/chaff device and ECM which do not exist on earlier J-8s. Onboard radar is upgraded to the type JL-7A.
Not sure if u played any supersonic aircraft in air RB but rn if they are placed above a battle rating of 9.3 they are very difficult to play due to the lack of countermeasures to defeat all aspect IR missiles like the aim 9L or R60M that many aircraft at 10.3/10.0 have.
Also some photos pertaining to equipment
JL-7 radar (originally used on J-7 variants, a derived variant was made for the J-8E)

Thanks for the photos!, and while yes i have played air rb past 9.3 (i have top tier china) i still feel that the J-8E would be similar to the J-8B, i will still make a suggestion, and potentially the J-8 Series (Early) will be in rank 6 following the J6/J7II folder, with the J8E before the J-8B in rank 7, maybe at 10.7?
I would not mind having both I just wouldn’t play the I if it’s not in a good place or if they nerf all aspect missile carriers by raising their BR, and therefore suggest a viable alternative
Cool, thanks. I might be wrong but back when I read about the J-8 series, I read that the J-8C was the predecessor to the J-8F, which is why I think it would fit pretty good in the hole that the J-8F will make in the future.
