Where is the resources of PL12's adjustment in April, it's not fair

According to the Server Update on April 23, 2026, the PL-12’s autopilot parameters were adjusted to make the missile “more stable on the trajectory.” However, I’ve noticed that its close-range maneuverability seems significantly reduced in actual gameplay.

I’ve also seen other players report that the CM to stabilizer distance was changed in the same update, but this was not mentioned in the changelog. Could a developer clarify whether this change was intended and what its purpose is?

Additionally, the stat card lists 38G overload, but in-game testing suggests the missile struggles to pull anywhere near that value at lower altitudes. Is this a known issue or working as intended?

I’m not claiming it’s a bug - just looking for clarification on the design intent behind these changes.

And yes, I know 38G is not a number you can pull at every altitude and speed. But what we have in-game is nowhere near that—according to analysis, the PL-12 is currently pulling about 25G maximum in most conditions. That’s not “realistic,” that’s a nerf disguised as balance. A modern ARH missile shouldn’t be this useless in close-range fights

Plus there were 2 adjustment to PL12, but this nerf do not have any resources nor player reports to support it, not like this time J10C nerf where there are resources and supports.

The report they acted upon was from around the time we got fox 3 introduced iirc. But yeah just another way to nerf chinese things in some way

They used the old report and made old PL12 for about years and suddenly they change it, and they didn’t note it
