But logically it would at least be capable of carrying it if need be right? Sorry again but I've been on a bit of a binge to try to find info on Chinese flankers for War Thunder.

Believe that we don't have video or photo confirmation of it.
So we can neither confirm or deny it being possible on the sino flankers.
Imo, probably possible, but the tradeoffs/testing/strategy etc. Has made the PLA not doing it.
A bigger issue is that adding heavy weights to the wingtip messes with the moment of inertia, and since flankers are twin engined (widely spaced no less) heavy fighters roll rate can suffer if missiles are mounted too far away from the centerline. In Golden Helmet exercises the preferred load out is PL-12/15 mounted in the tunnel between the engines and PL-10/8 mounted midwing.
