the image said low rank plane shouldn’t launch top missile

you serious?

Sounds more like a lack of communication rather than an actual statement and I wouldnt read much into it.

Its far more likely that either:

A) The bug report provided no evidence the JH-7A Actually equipped either missile

or

B) This is developer/Tech mod incorrectly wording their usual response of “Loadouts are a balancing decision” and therefore have decided the JH-7A wont be getting either missile due to balancing issues.

Not going to comment for or against either point, but its far more likely that it was one of those 2 points.

Are you sure that you want that? It might go 12.3 easily for example

what might go 12.3? JH-7A is already 12.3

Translation:
Issue: JH7A should receive pl5e2 or pl8b for it’s 12.3 with ir only msls without flr resist (Note: More a balancing issue)
Bug Manager: Dev is not going to add top msls at low tier planes (And the attackers have them)

It’s more an issue about JH7A being 12.3, even higher than phantoms. Not that much about a10 and su25 / top msls at 11.7, but the official reply is indeed biased.

It is really fun to smack people with AIM-9M in SB.

JH-7A has nothing to do with Su-39 and A-10C.
JH-7A is one of the best fighters for its BR.

JH-7A with better missiles would make it 13.0 rather quickly.

JH-7A with pl-8b = F15A with AIM-9M and AMI-7M ?
Maybe it can be raised at 12.7 but 13.0 is too high for this plane.

Those aircraft are under-BR’d as well, thanks for proving my post correct.

still, it gets mega boned by for example the Mirage F1C/CT which has two free kills and essentially the same multi role capability ( if not better in ARB) and that one’s a br step lower even.
For ground the missiles are irrelevant because BR compression, the JH7 will just see top tier all the time anyway.
I’d at the very least throw it a bone with the PL-5E2, it’s essentially the same as the Magik 2 and would ( the devs hate me for this) give the plane some relevance again.

F-1C has Magic 2s, which are 1-flare pre-flared, while being a far worse airframe to JH-7A.

Python 3s are still potent in flare resistance despite not having IRCCM.

And yeah, JH-7A with 4x PL-5E2s would be 13.0 guaranteed, especially with its good flight performance. Not amazing like F-16A, just good. As good as F-111F.

F1-C has magic2s

F-111F has good performance ?

Any missile can be pre flared? what’re you implying, that the F1C is somehow trash?
The only reason why P3s are “potent” is due to their decent closure speed, but any missile can work like that if you’re fighting vs a bot lol. It’s still a 9L seeker at the end of the day and if it isnt eating the afterburner plume it’s gonna get flared.
