none of the J-10Cs constructed after 2021 use AL-31Fs (which is most of them)

Let’s see what happens on the devserver

AL-31FN-3

Early J-10C batches indeed used AL-31FN-3, same as J-10B.

ok, but since the J-11B had the WS-10A taihangs in the dev and live server theres precedent for the ws10b/b3 to be used on the j10c

Yes, I forgot that the J-10 only uses the version with the bottom location of important systems.

is this not al31?
altho ya idk what al31 variant this is, definitely still al31 tho

man i hope dev server is hopeful because this thing lookin like butt right now

and can be upgraded to series 5 or series 45 (not sure which name is correct), which is about 14KN thrust.
I remember someone said UEC’s annual reports mentioned some series 5 delivery, but I can’t find the file

if they made it the worst j10c variant possible im gonna throw up

Surely we can have the Chinese community work the supposedly effective “complaint magic” that allegedly suddenly works on Gaijin to change it to the WS10B LOL

It looks like the deflector from the WS10B, but it’s hard to say.


Just like us f15e pw220→pw229

We’ll see during development; with the camera angles the trailer gives us, it’s hard to say

They’re totally just gonna give it insane drag and worst possible engine as if the DSI isn’t there.

at least AL-31 series 5 is ok and no need to change the model

I’m rather concerned by the presence of PL12s on the J10C, either they’re gonna fix PL12, or add PL12A, or more likely it’s gonna be stuck with missiles incapable of BVR and its just gonna bring no qualitaive upgrades.

If the J-10C in the game uses the AL-31FN, then why not place the J-10B after the J-10A? The J-10B uses the AL-31FN, and frankly, the PESA and AESA radars in the game are practically indistinguishable to me. Their available armament is also largely identical (comparing the B and C variants). Is Gaijin really planning to create a new J-10C with the WS-10B engine and place it after the J-10C that uses the AL-31FN? That makes no sense. Look at the Rafale F3, the Typhoon, and the Su-30SM,j11B – they are all the latest aircraft, and some were implemented last year with their current configurations .

They could add two J-10Cs, and to give J-10B sucks, since we have no info on that thing.
