They lack air-to-ground or air-to-air weaponry and have very weak airframes in both speed and maneuverability. Their main aircraft, especially the Q-5L and A-5C, are a bit too tall for what they offer

(If that were the case, a Russian fighter jet probably wouldn’t be so bad)
The Q-5 early maneuverability its all right for its role I’ve been using it lately in GRB and is noticeable more agile than the rest of the series, if you keep the plane under 1000 km/h during attack runs the agility is not so much of an issue anymore, but still the Q-5 series are just very limited in game and none of the submitted reports have made it to the game either, recently I submitted a report for the 57mm rocket pod for the Q-5A and Early but is been years that the aircraft have been in the state they are and I don’t have hope that they will fix the series in general is ridiculous that the Q-5A can’t carry 500kg bombs and is missing 500kg in bomb capacity on the wings but oh well about the AAMs I don’t know what to tell you is been mentioned in videos, books and blogs but the most important thing is missing which is a picture and unless somehow a picture of a Q-5(not A-5) equipped with missiles emerges I don’t think they would change anything
