these are good reads in relation to the PL-5C/E development
Something worth pointing out is the PL-5B ingame has a PL-5C/E visual model, the PL-5B IRL did not have double delta control surfaces but had control surfaces akin to the AIM-9D/G/H Sidewinders and R-13M
Nice article, though not something I would expect from 6park :P
unfortunately i have too trust google too translate the article, as im just a silly American who only speaks Burger, but the article still didnt make it clear too me what the performance of the PL-5C is, or even the regular E for that matter. It discusses how the EII model has all the features of a modern missle, like ECCM, but it states that the PL-5 is equivalent too the regular E model.
“The PL-5EII air-to-air missile is an improved version of the PL-5E, and the PL-5E is the foreign trade version of the PL-5C”
at no poit does the article make it clear too me that the Pl-5C has an improved seeker over the PL-5B so its hard for me to take this as definitive proof, im sorry. maybe something isnt translating right, but even if the article did say something about that, i dont think this would be sufficient evidence for Gajjin.
PL-5E should be handed out more if my Q-5L is gonna go up against AIM-9Ls and R-60Ms
true, but now im just confused on what the exact capabilities of the Pl-5C and E are. Obviously the EII would be an Aim-9M/R-73 equivalent in terms of flair rejection, but im not sure if the Aim-9E/C have the same seeker as the pl-5B or not.
Where is this picture from?
i believe one of the discord server Gszabi is in, im asking him for clarification on the rumor thread
I still think that 11.7 seems too high, when both the Tornado GR.1 & Kurnass 2000 (similar FM & armaments) are 11.3- but atleast we should get 4x all aspect aams.
All weapons datamined so far
Hopefully we’ll get too see some of its A2G missles soooon
Not a terrible set of weapons, but hopefully we will get some longer range missiles. KH-29T, KD-88, or if they feel really inclined, YJ-83KH could provide an exceptionally long range option.
Obviously I wouldn’t blame them for holding the missles back a bit so they don’t totally outrange everything, but yeah I would like too see some of these options in game so China has something too use that’s a Kh-29 equivalent
There is photographic evidence of the KH-29T on the JH-7A. (Also posted above)
As a side note, I’ve seen a few people mention the JH-7A having potential for PL-12s or possibly the ability to guide PL-11 with it’s radar- but I haven’t seen enough people posting about this bad boy 😎😎😎
Wait wheres the evidence of it carrying KH-29s? I don’t see them anywhere in this thread unless I’m blind
Never heard of it before, what’s the performance?
Anti-AWACS/Tanker, 6 meter long Fox-3 with an estimated range of 400 km when fired in good conditions. The missile would be limited by the radar lol- its intended to rely on friendly AWACS datalink to guide it to the target. Wouldn’t be able to maneuver too much, its essentially just fast and long range.
Look at the post you replied to.
I did, and that’s definitely not a KH-29T, I’m not familiar with the names but that definitely one of the domestic Chinese missles
Edit: I might be even more blind than I thought, the orange fins were throwing me off
