is it just me or did they move the Kurnass 2000 down to 11.3, removed its Aim7s and gave it Python 3s?

[@axman3828]

They definitely did, I noticed it in the dev server a couple weeks ago

they did, the kurnass 2k never carried sparrows in real life as it was relegated to ground attack role since it came into service at the time of the F15 and 16 but did get pythons

[@silent_j6198]

I can't justify this plane at the current BR. I love the J-8B but it just doesn't hold up against top tier Gen 4's without even Pl-11's. The missiles are still too flare hungry to actually be viable on anything more than somebody not paying attention. If we were back into the old days pre 9L nerf, then I would be saying differently. But right now, the "meta" (ie what doesn't suck) is the aim-54's, especially with the new lovely bug where they don't ping RWR; and really any SARH other than the French S530D/F. You are forced to fly super low to the ground and have no opportunities to get behind the enemy team thanks to the larger maps, increased players, and how favorable it is to use SARH's. This leaves this plane dead in the water of being a vulture picking off anything dumb enough not to flare. Given time, the hordes of F-14B's will release they just leave periodic flares on and never risk getting hit by IR missiles since they can hold OVER 600 FLARES. As much as I want this plane to be good and love Chinese jets, it is dead on arrival and no IR missile will fix it unless they seriously buff flare resistance.

[@xkzldgjs]

I'm sorry but you are objectively wrong. The best IR missile is hands down the R27T, followed by the R24T, only then does the python 3 come into contention. 40g pull doesn't make any difference from 20g pull, if you can't fire from stealth, and the R27/24T with IRST are king, when it comes to stealth launching on enemies, from 5-7km away.
