If players are already used to Magics on French jets, the combination of Warsaw Pact/Chinese jets and NATO weapons will give a unique experience: the limitation of Soviet jets (such as Fishbeds) is a lack of reliable IR AAMs for longer ranges the PL-7 ensures otherwise, as in most cases, if the enemy doesn't notice the missile or it isn't fooled by flares, the PL-7 will make sure the enemy meets their end quickly with its 35G overload after launch. Like its French brother, the PL-7 has high G overload and combat capability within 2.5 km. R-60 - Soviet IR AAM with excellent close-range manoeuvrability but lacks the range for farther targets.PL-5B - Chinese domestic IR AAM with impressive thrust and slightly less overload.AIM-9G - one of the most manoeuvrable missile in US service, having impressive burn time but lacking in close range combats.Matra R550 Magic 1 - the missile that the PL-7 is based on, sharing the exact same performance. ![]() ![]() The 6 kg of HBX (at 9.6 kg TNT equivalent) ensures the missile will make short work of enemy aircraft with its explosive content and shrapnel upon explosion even if the missile doesn't hit the target dead-on, the proximity fuse will make sure the target will have a hard time returning to base. The overall performance and appearance of the PL-7 is exactly like the Magic 1 all characteristics of the Magic 1 are retained, so players of French jets will soon find themselves at home. The PL-7 (Chinese: 霹雳-7), a reverse-engineered version of the Matra R550 Magic 1 obtained from Pakistan, is an IR AAM exclusively for Mainland China's export jets and was introduced into the game in Update "Apex Predators".
