4. J8B有好弹雷达瞎 J8F有好雷达没雷达弹
先不谈J8B雷达的实际性能究竟如何 在当时那个版本 中系需要用J7E和J8B对抗F14A和23MLD 你开这两架无全向的飞机出去几乎就是饲料
而J8可堪一用的雷达要等到J8F 那么J8F刚出时的武备是什么呢? 没错就是那6发PL8!在当时F14 EJ改满地爬的环境下 唯一的优势就是带头瞄 到了米格29版本后甚至要去和27ER对线以至于很长一段时间里 J8F都是搬炸弹专用机,基本没人玩 J8F真正吃上肉 要等到主动弹版本的第一次权重拉升 几乎整整两年
既然当时不给发主动弹,为什么不发别的能发射半主动弹和好雷达的J8?
在视频明确标明J8F改进后能发射PL11,又为什么拒绝给J8F发PL11呢?
4. The J-8B have decent missiles but a terrible radar, while the J-8F had a good radar but no radar missiles.
Let's put aside the actual performance of the J-8B's radar. Back in that version when J-8B was firstly introduced, the Chinese tech tree need to counter F-14As and MiG-23MLDs using J-7Es and J-8Bs. Taking these two aircraft without all-aspect missiles into battle meant you were practically cannon fodder.
The first J-8 variant to get a usable radar was the J-8F. So, what was the J-8F's armament when it was first introduced? That's right, those six PL-8s! In the meta dominated by F-14s and F-4 EJ Kais, its only advantage was having a HMS. Then, after the MiG-29 update, it even had to face Su-27s with R-27ERs.
For a very long time, the J-8F was primarily used as a bomb truck to bomb bases for grinding; barely anyone played it seriously. The J-8F didn't truly become competitive until the first Battle Rating stretching for top tiers that came with Fox3s, nearly two full years later.
Since Gaijin refused to give it Fox 3s back then, why didn't they introduce a different J-8 variant that can fire Fox 1 and havea decent radar?
Furthermore, since the official video clearly stated and showed the J-8F's upgrade allowed it to fire PL-11s with actual vids, why did Gaijin refuse to give the J-8F its PL-11s?
