Oh man guys, my plea to Deka IronWorks, PLEASE allow the JF-17 Thunder to carry the AIM-9 Sidewinder! There are plenty of photos out there of Jeffs armed with AIM-9's! I believe it would increase people's interest in the aircraft!

The Jeff is my go-to modern fighter. It is also the only 4th gen multi-role fighter not aligned with NATO/US, and it looks like its going to stay that way. I would love to see the J10 as an Official module as well.

Im not sure where you get your jeff info from, cause alot of the info you said was wrong, Im not sure why you keep saying the PL5 is bad, ive been flying it since launch and that missile is Pretty good if used properly, it has the same seeker head as the aim 9m and has more range, in GAME

Pakistan's airforce made short work of India's Su-30s and MIG 21s using the JF17 fighters (and some F16s supporting as well)....The JF17 is an impressive aircraft for any airforce!

The Jeff is highly underrated. 2 x GB-6 SFW plus 4 x LD-10 are awesome for SEAD and you still have the center pylon available for a jamming pod, fuel tank, or targeting pod.

The Block 3 of the JF17 carries the PL10E which is similar to the IRIS-T. It can also carry the PL8 I think which is a copy of the Python.

I have it, but yet to learn it. My hanger is starting to look like a small nation state’s Air Force.😀

Pakistani jf-17s are much much capable than DCS versions they also use Aselsan Asel targeting PODs which were develop for F-16s and F-35s in turkey and As you said lot more missiles and bombs from all over the world American European Chinese South African and brazil, their J-10CE too have these capabilities,

Just got DCS for VR and decided on the JF-17 as my main aircraft to learn. I have my flight stick center mounted so it fits this jet better than the viper that's side mounted. Really looking forward to learning this!

If you didnt know, the LS 6 100 is more like the gbu- 58 in that it is both gps and laser guided. The LS 6 250 is a gps glider but does not have laser capability. So they are not redundant and both do have their advantages. I honestly find the LS -6 100 better in more situations bc they are more accurate, can hit a moving target, way lighter and believe it or not... have a 13-15 mile range at 500mph, 6000ft. In order to really take advantage of the LS 6 250 standoff range you have to be high, fast, and use the ground radar/mark points/ waypoints for target designation beyond 20 miles (due to targeting pod limitation in the jf-17). What you guys think?

if you fiddle around with the AG radar you can actually launch LS-6 from way further away beacuse you can set an SPI on the radar and slave the TPOD to it and see if you set the SPI on your target

yeah its nice to see the Jf-17 get some love, ive always viewed the jeff as a modern F-5 in capability in DCS, can do all roles but only one at a time.

Beautiful imagine quality Spud keep this up! And as a side note I love the Jeff's Bety voice, its so calming and soothing.

I love flying the JF17. I fly both the F16 and the Jeff and can say that the Jeff fills in the gap with its anti ship and cruise missiles. You comment on lack of fuel however the engine is very fuel efficient and I often come back with more fuel than the F16. Not so much in quantity but comparative range due to lower fuel consumption. The SD10 is a great A2A missile.

I heard that the Jeff also can carry the short range MAA-1 Piranha A/A missile from Brazil originally designed for the F-5EM, AMX and Super Tucanos, but the PAF ordered a good number for their inventory, interesting to know if they can carry this Fox-2.

these new feature tutorials are so awesome Spud!

Hey Spud great vid as always.I just got the JF-17 and i like it tho im having trouble turning the pod on if you could maybe in the future make a video about it i would be thankful! much love and take care good sir!

Both 250 and 500 are capable of gliding a distance of 35 nm when dropped from 35k feet at M0,9 so you can safely attack S300 sites. You need to use PP mode with pre-entered coordinates of course (but since 300 is not mobile, it's fine). If you align them properly, they are very precise (suspiciously precise). That pod is really not that good as distance go, but once you're close it does it's job. I especially like how it remembers the last position even with quite wild maneuvers. Not sure how realistic that is since pods in F-16 or A-10 for example in similar behavior usually shifts at least a little and you need to reacquire target again.

@Spudknocker Could you show off the LS-6-100s in a future video? I can't get those to work right, no ranging indication and they wont drop off of the plane. Thanks Spud, keep up the great work!

+1 to Spud's AIM-9 integration suggestion. Also, add EEGS piper to JEFF. They have EEGS since loooooong time in RL.
