That was passed to the devs as a suggestion, well see if and when they add it

Does anyone know if the JH-7A will have a MAWS system?
Looks like we are getting a j11a instead of j10 this patch, so i wonder if its going to be a copy of su27 or slightly better/worse. And if that implies we will finally get domestic chinese missiles with irccm like pl8a and pl5eii etc.
J-11A had 3 different radar sets(excluding the MLU) but all had gimped TWS compared to their Russian counterparts. However their equivalent to the SU-27SK standard I believe.
Considering we artn getting FOX-3’s on either the Su-27 or F-15, yeah it seems pretty certain that we’re just getting the Chinese copy of the Su-27SK

Just how good is the radar going to be in game? How does it stack when compaired to the Base Mig-29 and then the SMT?
I expect gaijin add LT-2 & LT-3 guided bomb, LS-6 guided bomb and PL-5E II replacement PL-5B on JH-7A this month
- JH-7A — GB250 bombs and Kh-29T rockets have been added along with the modification module for each, and a preset for 250 kg bombs has been added with no modification module required.

Well we can essentially split J-11A into 3 performance groups.
Batch 00 - 01(J-11): N001E rated to track at 65km but the Chinese reported in an engagement with Gripen they would detect at 120km and lock at 50km plus could only TWS one target. This batch was generally of the poorer quality early on so not all units were up to SK standard. China’s SU-27UBKs also used this radar set. I’d say the radar set performs about the same if not worse in terms of lock and detection but N010M on the 29 has a proper TWS function.
Batch 02 (J-11A) - Slightly upgraded from SK standard and replaced the previous batch in service with N001VE rated to track at 70KM on a 5m2 target and TWS 2 targets including with FOX1’s.
Batch 03-04 (J-11A still) - Ingame the biggest difference would be MAWS but it should also be lighter due to the electronics upgrades plus these batches exceded the SK standard and doubled the life cycle of AL-31 along with slightly more thrust.
Even with J-11B the Chinese mechanical set is slightly worse than its Russian Z010MS. This is thanks to a fairly late diversion of funding to J-10B(J-10A was found to be fundamentally better in every aspect including radar) over J-11 although the new AESA sets are world-leading. However, J-11B’s radar set is also significantly lighter than its Russian competitors.

Seems only 2 Kh29T
I believe the J-11B radar, Type 1474, is not PESA
Only fighter in PLAAF service that uses PESA radar is J-10B

After all, China has upgraded a large number of J-11B to J-11BG, and Pesa has upgraded AESA.
Haha yea thats me misreading my book about it competing with Z010MS. Thanks!
Im seeing great things on the dev server for China right now! As for the JH-7A, we now finally see some modern 250kg laser guided bombs and the Kh-29T! My only issue is that we are restricted to 2 instead of the 4 that should be possible.

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?
