It will still be worse than the JH-7A. The only thing I want is 2 PL-5E2 wingtips, for defense and playing ARB. I would really like at least 4 KH-29T , but for now, normal air-to-air missiles are enough.
Nobody talked specifically about China, but the community manager in his manner ignores questions about the j-10b and j-11b. When asked about the F-2 or F-18, he answered almost immediately and not to one but to many people and many times. I think he can’t say it, but he doesn’t want to deny it, so he ignores it.

I think this might be true.
The dev server seems very rushed this update.
Maybe we will see something when it is updated.
I think most likely, J-10B will be added on the second dev server, as was the case with mirage 2000 in the last patch. The plane is not so unique and iconic as to make it the face of the patch. But the j-11B will probably be in a patch dedicated to Flankers, along with some su-30 or SU-27M
Well, J-10B is a canard-delta.
It would fit the theme with the Rafale and Eurofighter.
I think J-11B might come with Su-30SM which was leaked by Olivia or something.

With the coming of Rafale and Typhoon which both have great thrust to weight and also low drag, is there any chance Gaijin reducing the drag for J-10? Good turnrate wouldn’t make J-10 much better because there are actual aircraft that can pull as hard as J-10 while also have the acceleration almost as like F-15E.
J-10B will have less drag. There was a major refinement of the intake/nosecone.

Plz support. J-10A 250kg LS-6 on inner pylons.

Some people on Chinese tieba think that J-10B is more likely to come than both J-10B and J-11B.
And also some say that J-10B is not ready yet on the dev server, we might see it later in an dev update.
I hope that the Air-to-ground missile ordinance will be ready for the J10B, the C-700s missile series and the addition of Pl8B will be welcome

This.
Even if J-10B isn’t the best in air-to-air, I at least want better CAS option other than JH-7A, which is getting outclassed now.

gaijing must develop Chinese indigenous air-to-ground missiles, I had made bug reports 3 months ago to indicate missing air-to-ground equipment for China like the C-701, C-704 my report has been acknowledge for 3 month and still nothing, and a good part of these weapons can be found on the JH-7A

So this imply J-10A drag is pretty accurate?
Well, it might be slightly underperforming, but not by so much that it will be a huge difference.
I don’t have official documentation.
How would the j10b/c compare to the typhoon and Rafael in a dogfight?
Nothing concrete, but I have some estimates.
It’ll probably lose to Rafale in one-circle turnfight, Rafale is most-optimized for that out of all the canard-deltas fighters.
J-10B will likely have better low-speed AOA than Typhoon, currently J-10A on the dev server has lower stall speed and better lift generation compared to Typhoon. If you give J-10A with more thrust like J-10B it will be no slouch.
So I think they are certainly in the ballpark of being comparable.
Rafale can outturn you, but you can slightly outrate Rafale.
Typhoon will be able to energy fight you quite easily, but at the same time if the Typhoon gets slow you will have an advantage.
J-10C is heavier J-10B, but with even more thrust.

It should be the J-15 that should be joined with the SU-30SM, at least the J-11BS. Because the J-11B cannot be used in CAS, and China is in great need of such a multi-role fighter.

Honestly if Su-30SM is coming to War Thunder I don’t think J-16 is far away.
They could just give us 30mkk
The J-16 is China’s most powerful non-stealth fighter, and I don’t think it should have arrived so soon. The J-15 can also carry a variety of A2G weapons, or complement the multi-role fighter matching the SU-30SM with a subline.
