  • This has been a consistently fun jet for a very long time, ever since the PL-5Bs got buffed a few years ago. The J-7E can't face the F-15, and though it still has to face the F-16 and MiG-29 it's not SUPER often and it still has some tricks up its sleeve...

    There is actually a later variant of this jet that I really hoped they can bring it into the game one day. J-7G. It is basically a J-7E but even more modernized. It got an usable PD radar, HMD, HOTAS and big screen MFDs. Instead they gave the nobody asked J-7D.

      ​@@JundRaptor Not sure if there's another even better equipped J-7 variant ever build. There are several variant that should be more advanced but never put into production like the side intake J-7CP, collaborated with Grumman Super 7, or the bottom intake J-7MF.

      ​@@TigerOwO Looked it up and apparently the most advanced J-7 is actually their domestic J-7G2, which is upgraded from their Bangladesh export F-7BGI. Functionally it has a stronger radar and can use CFTs compared to the BGI.
      In game the radar will only be marginally useful since I can't find any evidence that the J-7G2s can use BVR missiles. With an HMD and PL-9s it'll probably be 11.7 br max.

      I don't know if it changed but afaik the realShatter nerf doesn't apply to APHE. So the APHE rounds will do a lot more damage.

    @user-jy6cn3jy8g 26 днів тому

    3:00 it depends on what aircraft you hit and what part of the aircraft you hit. The problem is not with guns but with damage models overall. For instance, the F-16 has literally paper wings irl (basically that’s the reason why irl it can’t pull more than 10deg of AoA at speed more than 700kph - the wing just snaps), its wing is very thin and has not so many longerons inside the wing so if it gets hit by a single 30mil HE irl it will start living its own life somewhere apart from the plane but in the game F-16’s and other planes with similar thin wings such as the MiG-21, J-7, F-5 can survive multiple hits on the wings
    Rn there’s the only gun in the game that actually does somewhat realistic damage - it’s French 30mil DEFA

    • @kingghidorah8106
      @kingghidorah8106 26 днів тому

      i really never survived "multiple hits" on F-16 or F-5. MiG21s can take a load of punishment and survive enough to return to airfield. The F-5 is no longer the absolute tank it was, I remember when I got it my very first games I would bring the bomb and shoot while dropping it to bomb people mid air, it went from just a yellow belly to losing some part to eventually blowing up. When the F16 came out it was extremely hard to kill it. And I don't think that f16 wings are fragile. AOA and high energy retention in maneuvers don't usually go hand in hand. The F-16 had little angle of attack to increase energy retention at medium high speed while keeping the envelope of flight controlled while also conserving turn rates constant within each speed intervals. Modern aircraft have been designed to have almost constant maneuverability values, like 270 degrees per second of roll rate at 400kmh and 240 degrees per second of roll rate at 1200kmh, 24 degrees per second of turn rate at 500kmh on the deck, and 22 degrees per second at 1000kmh on the deck.

      @user-jy6cn3jy8g 26 днів тому

      @@kingghidorah8106 you’re partially right and partially wrong. You’re right about energy retention and AoA correlation but still its wing is really fragile. It can roll exceptionally well due to its high aspect ration of the wing which increases resistance to transverse overloads.
      There’re diagrams for the F-16 (for the A one I believe), one is for max overload that shows that starting form 700kph in turns with more than 10deg of AoA the wing is damaging and in turns with more than 15deg the wing is falling apart (literally)
      And the other one is for high AoA performance of the plane that shows why there’s a limiter irl. That diagram shows that at 25deg of AoA and higher (25-50deg) the F-16 enters “deep stall” state and in this state elevators don’t work at all cause at these angles there’s no air flow pushing on them and also because the plane is aerodynamically unstable it can’t recover by itself. So once the plane reaches these angles it will keep holding these angles with almost 0 chances to recover until it’s completely stalled.
      And here we are with the F-16A in the game that pulls 28deg of AoA at 500kph and less aaaand nothing happens
      I’m sorry, this “topic” could be about the J-7 and in this case about guns and damage models and I opened acan of worms that is the FM’s in our beloved game :D

    The definition I give to the J-7E is The Useless Diamond and The Jenitor Fighter. It have a very good airframe and really good Missiles but for me it have very little game impact in a match and your role is pretty much to mop up the left over. Still very good plane tho probably the best 11.0 performance wise. Also if you look for some premium jet to grind Chinese tech tree try the A-5C. It essentially the Mig-19 but havier and have a very good missile at 10.0. it can almost every jet at 9.7-10.3 with the energy retention. Very good jet to grind Chinese tech tree.(and you can use the F-5E or J-7E to grind the rest of the tree)
