I’ve also been through a lot of top-level air battles, and it has nothing to do with the experience of a particular plane. I looked at your data and you’re an experienced guy. But you can’t assume that everyone is like you, and you can’t ignore the fact that the JH-7A is at a disadvantage in air combat just because of the difference in individual level (you can post a poll to see what everyone thinks).

I should’ve started with some things I do:
Right now I’m bringing 28 minutes fuel internally with two drop tanks.
At full AB when spaded, the engines will consume 763kg of fuel per minute.
Combat flaps rip around 700kph and they’re necessary for dogfighting.
All of this I learned just from test driving then my first match as a fighter where I brought more fuel than I should’ve.
I have over +5000 battles on tier 7-8 planes only with the first pageplane record and god knows how many 1v1 i did in tournaments or just training time, and yet no one cares.
and yet you dont know what you are saying
that translates to: F-5E has no idea what he is doing
JH-7A is worse than garbage against any 12.3
My friend yesteday did this
By your logic, the I-153 is better than F2H
I bet my ass the Bison wins against the JH-7A
F-5E and JH-7A share a similar rate speed, so they’re rather competitive.
It’s funny how your post claims that I-153 is better than F2H, while attempting to project your post’s rationale onto others.
Still not spaded, hasn’t even been a day my dude.
You just won against a F-5E without being spaded didnt you? It shouldnt be a problem
I doubt you’re running a nearly stock F-5E.
i doubt you are going to spade the JH-7A bc of how bad it is
lol It’s the easiest stock grind in months. Partially cause I have the meta missiles from the get go on a competitive airframe.
Why are you trying to 1 v 1 him over his opinion? I find your opinion is incorrect, the JH-7A is a beast dogfighter. I’ve outdogfought Mig-29’s, F-15’s, Su-27’s, and recently, a Eurofighter. Dogfights depend on pilot skill. Now, we can argue the kit the JH-7A doesn’t warrant it’s air RB BR, which I would agree, it is typical for attack aircraft of the BR to get IRCCM missiles.

The JH-7A should still be 12.0 at most.
Air RB is separate from ground. The JH-7A needs to be a lower BR so that its viable in air rb.
I’m aware. I’m saying who gives two s*its about this thing in ARB. Gaijin should put all effort into GRB for this jet - ARB viability should be low priority. Simple as that. Go play another jet if you want viable ARB. And while Gaijin should be able to make both happen, they seem to be bad at multi-tasking.
Edit: Saying that, they should have added IRCCM PL-8 a long time ago to the Chinese tree.
People with brains that realize the game needs to be balanced across the board.

FYI, PL-8B isn’t simply just a PL-8 with IRCCM.
It’s a PL-8 with IRCCM and a vastly improved motor, that gives it even more range.
Which is probably the reason why Gaijin hasn’t added it yet.

Literally me on my final match to performance spade the aircraft.
Mig-29 could’ve outfought me but it was a 2v1 and he was the 1.
JH-7A can be 11.3 in ground RB, and air RB it’s healthy at 12.3.
Because he is saying that a JH-7A is able to out dogfight a MiG-23/21, Phantoms and " reckless F-14A players" wich is just wrong and borderline foolish to say the least.
But there is always a more foolish take i guess.
If you give the same plane to the same pilot, any plane that you listed will win against JH-7A. Just bc you won vs a level 7 in a EF doesnt means it wins against an EF
Good. Should have been added long ago even still. It wouldn’t be OP by any means.

I don’t think most of these people even use or have used JH-7A - no point debating with them.
AllNationEnjoyer seems to be mad that I met him in a GRB match and proceeded to nuke him with a variety of Chinese vehicles. I wish some people used that thing between their ears - nothing in what I said is me saying that aircraft shouldn’t be balanced across ground/air modes with their respective BRs for that gamemode. I’m saying that China urgently needs more CAS options in groundRB, and that Gaijin is unwilling or unable to do things all at once. I want them to focus on JH-7A’s CAS abilities above all, simple. Because otherwise, they’ll mess with its air load out and we’ll be waiting another year for better CAS options. I actually enjoy using the JH-7A in air battles - it should be stated. I wouldn’t even bother trying to CAS with it most of the time.
