Appreciate your work so much here, really helps! So it seems what I had suspected, at a maximum, you can only bring 4 guided air too ground weapons, which is still good but a bit lacking compared too other strike planes.

The test server has just updated JH7A, but the completion level is very low, and the ground weapons have not been completed yet

OMG, it’s happening! Finally, I’ve wanted this plane for ages. Now let’s hope they don’t mess it up.

Just need a Type 15 and my top tier China wishlist is pretty much complete.

There are still other vehicles I’d love to see of course, but those two have been top of my wishlist for ages.

I wonder if they are just going to give it KH-29T as a short cut instead of the KD-88s.
