Squadron Vehicles: JF-17 Thunder

The back looks like original Mig21, the ridge bit still shows that. Nose and wings reminds me of Mirage F1, FA18 sideband wings.

Exactly. Delta Wing without the speed loss.

BRMs have laser guided versions, so there’s risk the missile will cross the path of the plane in dive. You still haven’t shown any photo of JF-17 with rocket pods on stations 3 and 5.

try this for delta wing

because PAF doesnt mount them there. they use those pylons for fuel tanks mostly. but they are still capable of holding the rocket pods
regardless, the dual racks can accomodate two rocket pods so even if we dont get BRM-1 on stations 3 and 5, stations 2 and 6 will give us 4 pods anyway

Those stacked pylons for dual SD-10A is temporary visual bug?

Because it looks too weird to be real.

They’re real, sorry for the bad image quility

On that picture which you post they are not weirdly stacked.
Same here:

So maybe its just visual bug. But it really looks ugly how it is now in game. :D

Here are good pictures how that pylons should looks like.

The pylons are a little hard to see directly in those photos but you can tell the difference in the height of where the missiles are held

They’re visible enough to say that this shouldn’t be here:

Yeah that was what I was saying, they’re not very easily seen in the photo but one can tell the obvious height difference and difference in the visible portion of the pylons. Either way that stacked pylon looks weird as hell

Thank goodness it’s just a temporary visual bug. Overall the plane looks very nice but the weird bugged pylons were spoiling it so I wanted to make sure it was just a bug. :D

The plane looks beautiful just that stacked pylon would make judges run out of the theatre crying in horror over what they have just witnessed onstage

Hehe exactly :D
But in general after I tested this plane on dev servers so absolutely perfect. I have nothing to complain about. Excelent flying performance, very good avionic and perfect armament. I’m curious how it will work in the simulator, but I’m very optimistic.

I cant wait for it to hit the live servers. I’m still a console pleb as Gaijin hasnt opened account transfers in a minute so I can’t test it out on the dev server and despite the videos of it being bugged it seems to handle pretty well. I wonder if its launch will be as bad as the F-5E FCU’s was (in the sense of how everyone and their stepmothers late dog were playing it)

We’ll see.

Btw a few shots of JF-17 from the dev server. It had one weird drifting behavior in certain conditions (when I got into controllable flat spin). :D

Yeah that was the Pakistani witchcraft clip I was thinking of

witchcraft clip?

Ive seen clips of the plane drifting through the sky like that
