Me: F/A-18E Block II with 2 x AIM-9X and 8 x AIM-120C, gun
Opposition: Shenyang J-31 with 2 x Close Combat missiles, 4 x PL-12s
Started off behind him and once the J-31 saw me he tried to get into a good firing position. After that we floundered about and he eventually plowed into the ground.
Takeaways: I wanted to save the nitty gritty for this part since this is well, where it takes place. The J-31 is a maneuverable jet and in some cases it tends to turn very tight, but since it's only speculative you can let the "UFO-like" turns and roll with it, and some cases literally. But in a high-alpha jet you can easily turn into him and engage him. The only thing I noticed in my first test was that the 9X didn't track in some very easy shots, and it took an AMRAAM to drop him.
