Description

GarageImage Q-5A.jpg


The Q-5A is a rank VI Chinese jet fighter with a battle rating of 10.0 (AB), 9.7 (RB), and 10.3 (SB). It was introduced in Update "New Power".

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Characteristics Max Speed

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: Type 23-2K (23 mm)

The Q-5A is armed with:

  • 2 x 23 mm Type 23-2K cannons, wing-mounted (120 rpg = 240 total)

Suspended armament

Main articles: Type 250-2 (250 kg), Type 90-1, Type 130-2

The Q-5A can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 4 x 250 kg Type 250-2 bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 14 x Type 90-1 rockets
  • 14 x Type 90-1 rockets + 4 x 250 kg Type 250-2 bombs (1,000 kg total)
  • 8 x Type 130-2 rockets
  • 8 x Type 130-2 rockets + 4 x 250 kg Type 250-2 bombs (1,000 kg total)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Modules

Tier Flight performance Survivability Weaponry
I Fuselage repair Compressor Offensive 23 mm Q-5B RWR
II New boosters Airframe Type 250 Q-5B RWR/Flares
III Wings repair New 23 mm cannons HF-14
IV G-suit Engine Cover HF-6

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • High acceleration
  • Decent climb rate
  • Decent top speed at sea level
  • Fantastic energy retention
  • Good ammunition stock
  • With some luck, the 23 mm cannons can make quick work of enemy aircraft
  • Good sustained manoeuvrability, can out-turn F-4 Phantoms and keep up with MiG-21s
  • Well-placed cannons in the wing roots

Cons:

  • Gun-fighter only, no missiles despite high rank placement
  • Average roll rate
  • Tail locks up at high speeds
  • Easily beaten in manoeuvrability by aircraft such as the Mirage, Draken and MiG-19
  • The 23 mm cannons sometimes fall short in damage
  • New players may experience difficulty with aiming the 23 mm cannons of such type (found also on the MiG-15bis and MiG-17)
  • Less powerful ordnance than contemporaries like the Su-7B or F-100D

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • other literature.
