 '''THE HJ-8H UPGRADE'''
-The '''HJ-8H''' upgrade came after the Bosnian War, after the '''HJ-8E''' and '''L'''. The PLAGF took what they learned from the previous variants and developed a new missile, using systems from the previous variants. The make upgrades are; the fire control system and light-weight stowage used in the '''HJ-8L''' as well as extended engagement abilities.

+The '''HJ-8H''', or '''Hongjian-8H (红箭-8H)''', is a Chinese [[Anti-tank guided missiles|Semi-automatic command to line of sight wire-guided missile]]. This missile variant was introduced in the [[Update "Drone Age"|update "Drone Age"<sup>1</sup>]] and it is an upgrade to the [[HJ-8E|'''HJ-8E''']] in which the fire-control system and launching/ stowage system from its previous upgrade, the '''HJ-8L''', were used. This upgrade allowed the '''HJ-8H''' to be a light-weight missile which could retain its tandem warhead and penetration capability. Before the implementation of the '''HJ-8H''', there were a long line of advancements and development inside of the PLA regarding the '''HJ-8''' missile. Because of the missile's ground-based ATGM operation, advancements which increased penetration by approximately 27% were adopted onto the '''HJ-8H,''' as well as other improvements. The '''HJ-8H''' retains it's tandem warhead, seen on previous variants allowing it to penetrate past many modern ERA systems. The '''HJ-8H's''' maximum speed and effective range remain the same as the '''HJ-8E''', although it's explosive mass and TNT equivalent has been slightly increased.

 === Effective damage ===
-''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of missile (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''
+The HJ-8H's penetration and explosive power is a welcomed improvement relative to it's earlier variant. The 750mm of penetration with its tandem-warhead will combat and destroy most vehicles you will face. It may not pack the greatest punch, but with the combined effectiveness of the vehicle(s) equipped with this missile, it can be used to precisely target vehicle weak points and get the instantaneous kill one may expect of an ATGM.
 === Comparison with analogues ===
-''Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.''
+[[BGM-71C I-TOW|BGM-71C]]/ [[BGM-71D TOW-2|D]] - The '''BGM-71''' (C/ D variants) receives a higher maximum speed, larger explosive mass and TNTe, as well as IRCM but it lacks a tandem warhead. This makes the missile easily defeatable by ERA on a combat vehicle, the '''HJ-8H''' does not have this weakness. The '''BGM-71''' (C/ D) also has a lower range then the '''HJ-8H''', forcing the carrying vehicle to expose itself more then a vehicle carrying '''HJ-8H'''<nowiki/>'s.
 == Usage in battles ==
-''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''
+The '''HJ-8H''' should be used on flanking attacks due to the loiter time caused by it's slower speeds,. The operator should also learn vehicle weak points, especially those that may be hidden behind ERA to guarantee a kill shot. It is also advised to only engage SPAA that cannot engage you (due to range), or when they are not aware of your presence due to the flight time of the missile. The '''HJ-8H''' is fantastic for penetrating and creating your own weak points, though it's quite a average missile otherwise, so it is advised to take precise shots and aim for targets that may be a future threat to the team rather then a enemy being actively engaged (due to the missile flight time). The platform(s) this missile uses incredibly increases the effectiveness of the missile, so it is best to use it's corresponding platforms to increase your kill probability.
