Xi'an JH-7, History, Performance & Discussion

There’s a couple variants but their TV guided, however, unlike current TV weapons, they have extreme range and can be sent too a certain direction only for the backseater too use data link too then drive the missle too a target

Tv guided with ir seeker

You may be disappointed - the JH-7A has a good radar and great acceleration, but it’s not very maneuverable. The high wing load and flight characteristics that make wing drop prone make it difficult to cope with dogfighting environments. Of course, I hope that the PL-8 missile can improve this to some extent.

Which makes me guess the update is going to drop tomorrow

Some very strange update from the datamine:

  • JH-7A : Crew : 2 → 1
  • “JH-7A Flying Leopard” → “JH-7A Flying Leopard II” (Statcard name)
    wtf is this?

Two person crew, one person is the driver and one person is the operator, and the name “Flying Leopard” refers to JH7 as “Flying Leopard”, so there is no problem with JH7A being called “Flying Leopard II”

I don’t know about the English name, but at least I have never heard people call JH-7A as “飛豹2”

Anything is more manueverable than a tornado ))

As long as it doesnt turn like a tornado it’ll be fine imo, plenty of things that dont have top of the line fighter performance can be used to great affect in that role

The code name for JH7 in China is Flying Leopard, and the codes for China and NATO are also different. It’s normal not to have heard of it before

But Flying Leopard II is rarely heard in China. JH7 and JH7A are collectively referred to as Flying Leopard in China, as some JH7As are directly upgraded from JH7’s return to the factory

Maybe change to the bomber tech tree?

I thought Flying leopard was the export name given when they were advertising the JH-7?

But according to the information I have found, this is only the external code of JH-7, not the foreign trade code
