Description
The Q-5 early is a rank VI Chinese jet fighter
with a battle rating of 9.7 (AB) and 9.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Raining Fire".
A development of the J-6/MiG-19, the Nanchang Q-5 is the first jet aircraft in the Chinese tech tree of indigenous design. Its wings and rear fuselage still closely resemble the MiG-19 but the new forward fuselage with side-mounted air intakes and a pointed nose give it a distinctive sleek appearance. Designed as an attacker, this early version of the Q-5 has better ground attack ordnance than the J-6A with access to 90 mm rocket pods and up to four 250 kg bombs. It also works decently in the air-to-air role, having toned-down flight characteristics and armament compared to the J-6A at a lower battle rating. The Q-5 is not the most beginner friendly of aircraft but skilled pilots can still enjoy this piece of Chinese aviation history.
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.

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
The Q-5 early is armed with:
- 2 x 23 mm Type 23-2K cannons, wing-mounted (120 rpg = 240 total)
Suspended armament
The Q-5 early can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 4 x 500 kg Type 250-2 bombs (2,000 kg total)
- 14 x Type 90-1 rockets
- 4 x 500 kg Type 250-2 bombs + 14 x Type 90-1 rockets (2,000 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).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Fuselage repair | Compressor | Offensive 23 mm | ||
| II | New boosters | Airframe | Type 250 | ||
| III | Wings repair | New 23 mm cannons | |||
| 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 maneuverability, 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 maneuverability 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.
