Now in dev server Z-10ME got the same weapon load as Z-10,which is very weakness in game now.
In other tech trees. the top tier helicopters at least got 8F&F ATGMs or 16 sem-active ATGMs.
By no doubt Chinese helicopter tech tree has the weakest top tier anti-tank fire power in this game.
Besides, chinese top tier aircrafts are also the weakest against ground targets.J-11B has only 3 ATGMs, and when carry them, it can only carry 2*PL-12s, which makes it also weak against enemy aircraft. J-10 has nothing more than 2 guided bombs(even in real world it can carry at least 4 of em).JF-17 got a poor flight performance and has no ATGMs and at most 6 bombs.
And Z-10ME is one of the most advanced helicopter in China now ( set aside mysterious Z-21). Which means for a long time. China tech tree will hardly got a better helicopter.
All these facts makes it reasonable to fit Z-10ME with it’s iconic F&F missile CM-502KG, and that missile is already in the data file of this game. Carring this weapon will compensate the Chinese tech tree’s top tier anti-tank capability and won’t makes it too OP in game.
Do you like to see CM-502KG missile for Z-10ME in game?

CM-502KG
Light multipurpose air-to-surface missile. Debuted at the 9th Zhuhai Airshow in November 2012. Improved version of AR-1 UCAV missile. CM-502KG has an 11-kg warhead similar in size to that of the AR-1, but its maximum range is more than twice that of AR-1, up to 25 km. Four chopped control fins
25km F&F missiles on a heli when not all nations have F&F helis might be a tad unfair

25 km yes but for large targets like infrastructure or ships but against smaller targets like tanks the carrier will be infected by the seeker which will need to be closer to lock the target, we will probably have to see around 12/15 km of locking on a tank, which I think will not break the game too much like the Kh 38 we can do it

In addition, this missile can have several IR, laser, and TV seekers, which, through their technology, can naturally increase the missile’s range. For ““example””, the laser and TV versions can have a range of 10 km and the IR version 12/15 km for tanks and 25 km for ships

countries doesn’t have FF missiles, got 16 hellfires or 9M120s or 12 mach 2 9M127s. that’s real unfair.
and the far heli port is about 8km away from battle field. 25km range makes no difference with 8km range missile. not to mention there’s already 40km range Kh38 in game now.
Don’t forget, they also have the best anti-plane missiles for any heli in the game with the farthest range and pull as well- and on dedicated racks.
China can get missiles like that when Hellfires other than the 114B are used for example then.
all FnF munitions are practically used inside 5km anyway since the time to target above that range is just too high. so the range capability is mostly just a gimmick in my eyes

Honestly the 25km range does not even matter as it’s a self-guiding missile not one that needs guidance all the way through. (Plus the actual lock range for tanks will be far lower)
Firing a spike from 5km and then going back into cover will be no different to firing this missile from 10 or 15km apart from SAM systems having more time to intercept this missile.

It might be that the insufficient thrust of the RD93 engine makes it difficult for the JF-17 fighter jet to meet the demands in high-intensity combat.
Until i don’t see my 114L i don’t want to see any other fnf weapon on helis. The PARS 3 is already annoying enough for both helis, light tanks and spaa

Friends, we might really need the CM502KG missile because the Chinese Air Force lacks effective out-of-zone strike means. The next version is the one that most needs out-of-zone strike weapons. Otherwise, the enemy’s anti-aircraft missiles will destroy your aircraft in an instant.
jeff has good FM wdym lol, AGMs is fair it should get C-701T
i hope for the WS-10 for Block 3 soon

I can understand your idea. But what is discussed here is about the Z-10ME helicopter, not the AH-64D. However, I hope you can get the AGM-114L anti-tank missile you want. At least for now, we are trying to make the developers eventually make China the only country without any out-of-zone strike means. However, the other Chinese aircraft (jet aircraft) that have been added to the game do not have the ability to launch the out-of-zone strike weapons that are currently acceptable in the game in reality. Now the developers have added the Z-10ME for China in the game. This will be the only aircraft for China in the game that can launch out-of-zone strike weapons in reality at present. We don’t want to miss this opportunity. Finally, I also wish that the United States could obtain advanced weapons like the AGM-114L in the game.

other top tier jets have enough energy and manuver to avoid aa missiles even pantsir.but JF-17? energy performence like a joke
yeah you have to manage a lot more but its honestly a bonus aside from SAM evasion
Rather than expecting the addition of JF-17 Block 3 to the game, it is better to expect the addition of J-10B to the game. Because Block 3 adopts AESA radar, and according to the current rather bad attitude of the developer team towards China, it is unlikely to be added to the game in the near future.
i dont think its too far off. china will rise again. i know it
Not the best argument by picking up the worst offender that should be removed in the first place due tu numerous issues
Kh-38MT not only likely does not exist IRL, that missile is also currently very problematic to balance as it outranges most if not all AAs currently in game (and unless SLM gets it stats fixed, it wont change in next patch).
