J-11A is so trash I’m avoiding playing my unspaded Q-5L so I don’t put RP into it.

They have no range. They’re fine within like 5 miles but outside of that you’re better off using r27er’s. Actually in a lot of situations you’re better off using er’s within 5 miles too.

It’s not that bad. By no means good but totally usable.
A plane where you can only launch 1 R-77 at a time if you don’t want to give people warnings using a radar whose refresh rate is half a year, and an RWR that uses lightbulbs as indicators…

You can only guide one R77 if you are J11A anyway, it’s essentially a SARH since you loose one of the most obvious advantage for Fox 3s.

Corrected the title since we’ve got the new(ish) BR changes which are absolutely disappointing and the J-11A still stands as the worst 13.7 aircraft in-game.

I hope J-11A decrease BR to 13.3 for Air AB, Air RB & Air SB
I don’t even get the GRB part, it has no guided bombs yet is 12.7?
Yeah but they have so little range that you only ever launch them from close enough that they don’t data link anyways. The rwr is definitely shit but if you only ever use the radar in hms mode it’s not too bad.

You can’t shoot them from far away enough for it to matter.

Part of the point, just use R27.
Naw you can spam the r77’s at close range.

is it really this bad? havent grinded it yet and i dont think i will atp
Everything about it is identical to the j11 but it has maws and r77’s. Same mediocre radar, same mediocre rwr, same flight model.
Mind you I would suggest grinding it anyway because what comes after it should be better.
These are early leaks so it is a bit of speculation, but the J-15 is fundamentally different compared to the Su-33. China decided to opt for a indigenous development for their carrier borne fighter for a reason, they didn’t like what the Su-33 offered at the time. They bought a T-10 from Ukraine (there’s another number after the 10 but I forgot it, I had it in my suggestion that’s still there pending lmao) and developed the J-15 from there. It is similar structurally, of course, but it uses a decent amount of lighter composite material and some parts of the airframe are straight up lighter compared to the Su-33. Not counting the fact that the Su-33 cannot fire R77s and Fox3s, while the J-15 (even the earliest model) can fire PL-12s. I’m not sure where they’ll place it but if I had to bet they’ll go after the J-11A… unless they ditch the possibility of further adding bombers and they turn the bomber line into a sea line which also makes sense.

This is a fake leak

Yeah I said it was speculation… although how are we sure the leaks are fake?
Because its not from one of the 2 reputable leakers.
I get that but what’s on the leak list seems rather plausible. Even if it’s fake I would expect at least something from that to be true. It also had the Thai sub tech tree for JP which a lot of people seem to be pointing out as the main option.
