Hell no it shouldnt. It should be 11.7 where china has an actual lineup. harrier gr7/av8b+ are 11.7. Gaijin picked an arbitrary br and gimped its weapons. Oh it faces the f16s and top tiers all the time anyways, its just less equipped to do so. F16 does everything jh7a can do and much better. Its br placement makes no sense plain and simple

pretty standart, kab-500kr do nothing to abrams turret either most of the time
its a glitch with the bombs blast being caught in the amor, it why i try and avoid hitting MBT’s directly with any bomb, or try and put a 0.5 sec delay on the bombs too make it slide off. otherwise between the inertial navigation and the glide thanks too its fins, you can get some really long range out of it

This bug has been out for more than 3 years btw. Then again a new 79.99$ premium is a more important priority

Its really ticking me off how they handled jh7a so far. Its not at the right br, its missing important weapons and is just downright inferior to nato cas when it shouldn’t be. And funny thing is, around sea level is hardly faster than a harrier. It should be 11.7 with pl5e/pl8a. Its a super modern strike aircraft just like harrier gr7 why the hell not be 11.7 with better aams just LIKE ALL THE OTHER 11.7 strike aircraft. smh. Every time you spawn this jet in ground rb guess what else spawns? f14b’s and f16s which will annihilate you while bombing your team. Or a pantsir will irist your *** from spawn

How does this jet turn so insanely good far better than the mig29 with no leading-edge design and no LEX. There are zero technologies in it that suggest it would ever be capable. Oh well its a cool unique aircraft. love it.
Nothing about this jet makes sense

The Mirage F1 is literally the same design, but twice as light and smaller the size and has leading edge that extend to the wing root and still not turn like this jet.
This JH-Y is a solid wing design completely obsolete to the point that every aircraft industry even civilian no longer use it,
Was there no actual data on this thing it was just guessed how it performed? Oh well its funny and cool looking.
It is supposed to be a bit better than a Phantom from what I’ve heard. Test flying it felt fine, not a UFO (cough* F-16) but not overbearing either. Bleeds a lot of speed in an energy turn but in a flat turn you can maintain ~700 kps and 7G’s. The Mig-29 isn’t a great one to compare it to, a Mig-29 should still win if he uses his energy. And besides, the Mig-29 is still under performing a bit.
The JH-7A is fine, lets not get it nerfed for no reason. If you have flight performance data that suggests it is over performing, then I’m sure Gaijin would love to see it.

Someone needs to re-report the lack of Kh-29T and other missing weapons so that we can see them fixed in December.

It’s relaxed stability with fly-by-wire, has a unique downward sloping double delta with serrated front end. The flaps are huge. (Certainly not even remotely similar besides outward appearance to something like the Mirage F1).
The leading edge flaps might help with AoA, or efficiency in certain areas but the primary purpose of the vehicle is as a supersonic attack aircraft… not sure they are totally necessary for this purpose. The aircraft has extensive use of composites and other materials…
I do not have it currently, nor can I test fly it so I’m using what I’ve read here as a basis - seems like it performs alright. The maximum overload might need to be reduced as 13G is… a lot for a 7G design. If we are going to be attacking the flight performance of this thing though we should probably do so with valid sources, and we should apply the same considerations for the flight performance of other new aircraft such as the F-111. I’d be willing to take a look into both when I’m next free to do so if we think it’s important.

Test flight felt fine to you? Now jump in the insanely more thrust and high alpha design of the Mig29 and as it fails in roll, pitch and speed retention over this the J7H
I do like the JH as is, but it’s pretty lame and makes me not want to play it knowing that there is other aircraft with the exact fuselage in game and wing top design that are much smaller lighter and actually the wing technology to perform, but still do not come close to this thing.
Yes it’s not as bad once you fly it more I have it spaded. The issue is the moment I jump in any other aircraft you immediately are reminded how it might just be a little exaggerated.
This is clearly not an aircraft designed to dogfighting as zero wing technologies or high alpha air design enabling features are apparent. Not saying it cannot do basic ACM. But I do not think that was its primary or secondary role in the slightest.
IMO It appears that this aircraft seems it was to be a very fast of solid, swept back stable wing design and very aerodynamic to cut through the air at low altitude, probably designed more for antishipping patrols in the south China sea would by guess.
I think it’s a slap in the face to the Chinese aviation enthusiast that GJ would instead of giving a cool unique aircraft it’ ground ordinance (because that would require more effort) they rather just buff the FM and give it easy to model IR missiles say "here kids, who needs the J-10 when you have this!
I do not mind the FM if you guys think its needed. l if you guys like it. let it stay. I just think part of the modelling is due to laziness to provide the harder to model ground ordinance and or lack of information to developers.
The problem is that Gaijin won’t change the FM unless you can provide data sheets from some book. Otherwise it will just get the “not a bug” treatment.

The more I play the jet it reminds me of the Japanese F2 and flies VERY similar to it and just better.
Just a thought.
It’s already been suggested too the developers and people already made multiple reports about it’s potential weapons, so I’m afraid that any additional reports would just be classified as duplicates.
My biggest frustration here isn’t even that the plane was rushed, but that we still have no clear path for what will happen too it, and if the devs plan on increasing its capabilities over time or simply leaving it where it is. What happens too this plane is important because it’s one of chinas mainline attackers, and is probably going too be this tech trees best chance at a competent attacker. There really isn’t anything that will surprise this plane in terms of strike capabilities, so I hope sooner than later gajjin gives it the attention it deserves…

My main gripe is the lackluster pl5c which doesn’t match the seeker performance of pl8, the lack of agms and its wonky br placement like gaijin is trying to justify its gimped loadouts even though 11.3-11.7 are effectively 12.3

I guess I’m looking at it more from the perspective as a CAS player who wants something competitive too back up my 11.7 lineup.

It doesn’t really have any gameplay implications, but the Targeting pod model is confirmed too be fixed next update, which also implies that work is still being done in the JH-7!

The cockpit is also very low fidelity, not up to par with most jets. I wonder if its a work in progress or just not enough info available

Do we have some solid sources that JH-7A can fire PL-12? We should open an issue on the TWS of JH-7A.
