冲浪时候偶然发现了一张很奇怪的图
jh-7_FBC1_1
有翼刀,是老飞豹,这翼尖的弹看弹翼感觉有点像PL-8?从PL-5开始到PL-9前弹翼都是双三角翼,只有PL-8是三角翼。但这前面弹头又和PL-5一样收细。不太好判断

e.确实是PL-5,但是PL-5B不是双三角翼吗?还是说游戏内模型做错了?

No, it’s built on the basis and knowledge of AIM-9D 20年的坚守——讲讲中国霹雳-5乙空空导弹的研制过程(上) -6parkbbs.com
So yes, the 3d model is incorrect

Would that not also make the stupid sun too attractive in game, as currently the sun will take the lock by simply being near the FOV of missile. Here it said 17degrees though

it’s already 17 degrees in the files

I don’t really see how but it seem to lock anywhere near the sun. I understand it means can’t lock the sun from 17 degree out right? Not within 17degree of seeker pov

Can you show me the PL5B files?

PL-5B

PL-5C

PL-5EII

If you’d like, you can click on “history” in the top right to see what changes occurred and in what updates.

“minAngleToSun”: 17.0 I see this line, but is it like 17 degrees outside of its fov or just 17 degrees from centre of fov, which the latter is definitely not true.

Based on my experience on how target lock works, it’s most likely 17 deg from the edge of the FoV.

Bug report:

GPS glide bombs poor attack solution calculation:

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/0Pb7vJOephck

They can’t turn at all, the guide should still be the 180 degree in front of you, it is not manoeuvrable enough to do a 180.

Not sure if you mean in the game or IRL

But in the game the winged ones are maneuverable enough. The issue is that they don’t have proper logic for attack solution calculation.

So if you drop them level, the bombs instead of pitching up and doing e.g. an Immelmann turn to come back towards the target, they choose to pitch down and go through the ground.

But if you manually drop with with a pitch up attitude to force them to choose to turn upwards (i.e. do an Immelmann turn) they will successfully do so and hit the target.

So if Gaijin is going to give Su-34 6x KH-38s…
Gaijin, when can you give JH-7A 4x KH-29s?

Hello sir, this picture is from a magazine and does not have the official background of AVIC. It is only a summary of the mounting photos that have appeared in the public eye by the author. Moreover, it lacks some information, such as at least JH7notJH7A carrying GB500 guided bombs. Considering the age, it may also be KAB500L from Russia

Pay attention to the green radar cover and wing blades of JH7 in this photo, which are features of early JH7 models rather than the more modern JH7A that appears in games

Hello sir, I’m sorry to inform you that according to my inquiry with someone who knows a lot about it, the result should be that the KH29L has not been introduced before. In fact, PLAAF has not even introduced the KH29T, but the KH29TE. It was not until JH7A joined the game that the K29TE entered with the Su3925T. Can we consider replacing JH7A’s KH29T with KH29TE now


This photo is of PLAAF’s Su-30MKK missile system. The KH29 missile system was introduced with this project, and the Chinese characters on the missile body are “KH29TE电视制导**“mean”KH29TE TV Guided **”, and the last few characters are too blurry for me to recognize

Make a bug report. Just include some pictures and what the text on the missiles say.

As I said in my post, JH-7A has more functions and ammo load then it has now, just because in 2023 most of them are not introduced. Now we have an opportunity to recall them.
