Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

thanks

If you also don’t want to suffer from the price of Rafael. Serbia is very close to China and received loads Chinese equipment but still went for Rafael, so I guess the political side is just as important.

Serbia is good at staying neutral

Do we have any answer as to why Gaijin is putting missiles that were never on J-10 on it?

China offered J-10A a while back, perhaps article confused that.

Such as?

J-10/10As used only PL-8 and PL-8B in active service until recently when 10AH received PL-10s. Our J-10 should get PL-8s (stock) and PL-8B (researched).

I disagree.

Any reason or are you just not feeling historically accurate today?

This is historical fact, the 10/10A only ever used PL-8s.

I would like to assume they are still working on it’s eventual addition but a slightly more worrying answer is the matter that gaijin is under the assumption that the current PL-8 is infact how the PL-8B is irl, multiple gaijin tech mods have declined reports under the assumption that the missile (which btw is modelled as the PL-8B seekerhead in game) won’t recieve IRCCM or a dual band seeker.

Alongside them believing the PL-5 ever touched the J-10 in service that is quite worrying, hopefully they come to fix this.

We can see even on the early test flights of J-10 it was using PL-8 weights.

hm?

So now I’m curious if J-10A ever had used PL-5s.

Sadly, gaijin not ready add PL-8B on J-10A, J-8F and JH-7A this month

But hopefully gaijin add PL-8B for next major udapte in late october

I wasn’t very specific, he didn’t even answer my question. I haven’t been at my PC for the entirety of the dev server nor have I datamined recently. What ordnance is it carrying that is a-historical?

I disagreed with the idea that it should come with standard PL-8’s because most other aircraft in its’ peer group come standard with IRCCM missiles.

It is an export missile, compatible with the airframe no?
