Hj11 is super rare. Not much literature on them exists. Was it supposed to replace hj8?

It was, but you didn’t seem any vehicles carrying them, right? It’s ditched, like project-99B or type- 95-2 ,could be zhangmsfield, he really doesn’t like them
99b could be likely inspired by Ukraine Russia war. However PLA does have hj10 and hj12 in its inventory they should know how to defend against it.

HJ-11 could simply be slowly making its way into service, likely as a more cost-effective alternative to the HJ-12 and HJ-16. Some more photos of the launch tube and missile are below.
Not sure how accurate wiki is but it's described as HJ8 with laser guidance instead of wire.
If the goal is realism of what an actually deployed modern PLA would look like, would having the HJ-11 be abnormal? Or just rare?
I can't find any literature on it being in service.
No, 99B is over, it’s canceled, there won’t be new MBTs before 4th gen MBTs went into service
Wait really?
Units with HJ-73 are now getting HJ-12s, and units with HJ-8 are going to get HJ-16s, HJ-11 is simply ditched, they don’t even try to sell it in Zhuhai now, have you seen any non-IIR ATGMs(except legacy HJ-73/8/9 )from Chinese manufacturers recently?
99B won't be a new tank. So you discount the possibility of incremental armor upgrade packages and even APS? HJ 73 variants still has role to play. They are dirt cheap and can be deployed against soft target and hardened structures.
