Introducing the JH-7 and JH-7A Prototype!

Today we’re pleased to present two new variants of China’s famous attack aircraft: the early JH-7 with unguided weapons and anti-ship missiles, and the JH-7A Prototype, a versatile jet aircraft with guided weapons and excellent capabilities for countering air threats! Let’s take a closer look.

The Chinese JH-7A has long been a staple in high-tier battles in Ground and Air modes and has established itself as a flexible and very effective attack aircraft with strong air combat capabilities. In the Spearhead major update, the JH-7A will be joined by two variants: the researchable JH-7 and the premium JH-7A Prototype, which combines all the advantages of the old JH-7A but as a premium, available from today as a pre-order pack with unique in-game bonuses, Premium time and Golden Eagles.

The JH-7 is one of the early production variants of China’s first domestically developed fighter-bomber. This modification can use the YJ-81K anti-ship missiles, the main munition of this type in service with the PLA. In addition to anti-ship missiles, the JH-7 possesses an impressive arsenal of unguided weapons, making this aircraft an excellent choice for mixed modes. You’ll be able to use rocket pods, free-fall and drag bombs with calibers of 250 and 500 kg, as well as special armor-piercing anti-ship bombs. For air combat, the aircraft can be equipped with a pair of jam-resistant PL-5EII air-to-air missiles.

The premium JH-7A Prototype is a top-rank aircraft. It takes the unguided arsenal of the JH-7 and supplements it with guided weapons, for engaging both ground and air targets. One of the JH-7A Prototype’s most dangerous weapons is the Kh-29T guided missile with a thermal imaging targeting pod, allowing it to engage ground targets from significant distances in all weather conditions. The JH-7A Prototype also has several types of guided bombs, including the advanced GB250 with a combination of laser and satellite guidance and an inertial correction system. For Air Battles, it has a radar warning receiver, a large number of high caliber chaff and flares, a 23 mm cannon and most importantly, guided short-range missiles, including the fast and agile all-aspect PL-8 and up to four PL-5EII missiles.

You can pre-order the JH-7A Prototype from today! This pack includes unique bonuses that won’t be available anywhere else, as well as Premium time and a considerable amount of Golden Eagles. As soon as the Spearhead major update releases, your brand new JH-7A Prototype will be waiting for you in your hangar!
