Shenyang J-8A

+1
If existing PLA aircraft line gets a split, this can form a part of the heavy fighter line

Is really ugly but would be nice ingame.

Maybe the proposed armaments could be optional upgrades? It’d be nice to have them. +1 either way.

Heh, funny lookin boi
I don’t even have this Tech tree unlocked, but I would willingly grind it just for this ugly thing lmao

Would be 10.7 BR before Chengdu J-7E

we don’t need more modern aircrafts, we need two mig21mf welded together.
Would 100% grind this

flares?

afaik it doesn’t have countermeasures, which means it would either be at a br where it would be OP in a downtier with only pl-2bs (aim9E) or at a br where its unplayable like the Chinese f104g if it gets the pl-5b

yeah, pl5s would make it hard to balance

Honestly, I’m still wondering why this wasn’t added as the first J-8, instead they jumped to the B variant first. A bit dumb, honestly. Would definitely love to see a lower BR J-8.

The J-8A should be equipped with PL-4A missiles/PL-4B missiles. The PL-4A is a radar-guided missile, while the PL-4B is an infrared-guided missile.

+1 hopefully we get it sooner rather than later

So what is a pl4, a 9b? Or an r3r

Sparrow copy.

I come across this image while looking for other things, I thought it will be good to share it here!
