ok, unfortunately it has been confirmed as intentional, since the photo evidence is only for the 2 most inner pylons, they are taking it at face value…

i think TrickZZter is just a china hater, ZTL11’s steering device issue is been told not a bug before all because of him😂

Well, I think we’ve done all we can for the JH-7A right now, so thank you all so much for the work you’ve put in to trying to get this plane buffed. That payoff this update is very rewarding, as we now have a much more capable CAS jet, easily up their with some of the best in game. I look forward to this update, and am definitely looking forward to whatching china grow!

so it can take 4 KH29T in dev server right now?

Only two

:( OK, that means we still need to do something

If you look up in the thread I made a report, but it was turned down as I technically “couldn’t prove” that it can carry 4, as our only evidence in the first place was a pic of it carrying 2 only

You could make a case for it if you know what pylon mount it uses and if we’ve seen that pylon on the other pylon as well in addition with the weight limit for that pylon.

so the outer pylons can carry 250kg GBU too?

Yes for a total of 6 GB250

I think I’ll let someone else make that post at this point. It’s frustrating as there is no room for a convo to happen, I just try and point out that the 4 inner pylons could support all 4 Kh-29’s and he just says “no proof” and shuts it down

don’t get surprised if a REDACTED document leak occurs again within the weeks thanks to GJ’s ignorance and close-mindedness.

Hard pill to swallow, but said people are villains you will always have an understanding for.

I do wish they would show j8f a little love. Maybe some pl8a with irccm to help deal with the impending 12.3s it will fight with a mig21 airframe

Well, BVVD did say in the Russian stream ARH missiles is coming in next 1 or 2 updates. Then I expect J-8F to get PL-12 and move up in BR.

I really wonder how they are gonna handle this. Will it be 12.0 and remain the Pl-8’s and just get 2 Pl-12’s too? Or will they bump it to 12.3? If they bump it to 12.3, there is no reason it should not get Pl-8B’s since the F-16C already at 12.3 has 9M’s.

I guess it will be at BR 12.0, retain ability to mount 6 PL-8, add 2 PL-12 and maybe PL-5C will replace PL-5B. It is certainly not good enough to be at 12.3.

Thats the issue, even with fox 3 the airframe is just terrible compared to any 4th gens especially the likes of f15/16c su27s and gripens. I dont see j8f ever fitting the meta

Alright, already made the second report, hopefully they acknowledged my argument this time

He answered and closed the proposal but I did not understand the answer I sent a picture carrying four missiles they are supposed to be heavier on the same comment points
