They’re very obvious, look closer. Wing tip PL-8s, and belly mounted PL-12s? Not a thing.
I guess your right, now that I look at them more. What’s the reason for so many photoshopped images then? This seems too be a continuous issue with some Chinese planes that people Photoshop lodouts possibilities on them

Because PLAAF was quite weak at the beginning of the 21st century, equipped with mostly J-8s and J-7s with only a handful of J-10s and Su-27s. Chinese military fans at that time were not confident about the strength of their aircraft and were always imagining having something better than they actually had.
There were even myths that eight J-8s could shoot down an F-22 by exhausting all its missiles in a suicide attack in Chinese military forums at that time.

Just some early PLAAF fan boys back 2000s trying to imagine better loadout on J10 than what had been officially reported.

Such a shame the J-10 wasn’t added, having to deal with more Russian copypaste jets will be tiresome

i just want gaijin can make difference between SU27 and J11, but…its already a good plane, isnt it?

The Gripen is already here. I can totally see Gaijin add J-10A in next one or two updates.

Im curious what the maximum amount of guided CAS weapons is available to the J-10. If it has the potential to be a good multi role plane, that would be great for China
It seems to be able to carry laser guided bombs and even the C-704 AGM, but how many isn’t exactly clear to me, but seems to be around 4 total. Ofc there i no picture of it actually mounting the C-704 to my understanding.

LGBs and AGMs in No.2,3,9,10 pylons, and one more LGB in No.6 pylon.It can carry at most 4x AGMs, 1x LGB, 2x IR AAMs and 4x bombs in same time.

Then it should be very capable! The only thaing that concerns me is gajjins sluggishness to develop new weapons. The C-704 would be necessary for the J-10 to have a competitive CAS loadout, as it would be equivalent to the Kh-29TD or AGM-65D with both a 35km launch range and thermal image tracking. I hope we see this weapon in the game sooner than later

J-10A can carry up to 80~120 rounds of 50mm flares
It can carry 20 rounds per cartridge and it could be placed 3 of them each side
This photo is real. According to the information I have found, this photo was taken at Beijing Nanyuan Airport and was first published by the New Express.
The photo was also used in a report by China Aviation News on April 6, 2005.
This is the original image. The inner pylons of J-10 can be used to launch PL12.
Along with this J-10, the Su-30mkk is also on display.
And the painting of this J-10 is a very early version.

The ingame J-8B is in fact from PLANAF (8XXXX serial number).
The next candidate for adding into the game from PLANAF is probably an upgraded J-8B or the very rare J-10A in service from it.
Or perhaps a JH-7?
Land-based PLANAF basically use special variants of Air force aircrafts from the PLAAF usually has little difference except the name and they will be just identical ingame.
Basically, currently china tech tree no class Jet fighter/Naval Aircraft like Grumman F-14 Tomcat from US Navy

So we have to wait for J-15.
China didn’t had any aircraft carrier untill Liaoning was commissioned in 2012. Unlike USN the PLA’s naval air arms are only equipped with land-based interceptors, bombers and attackers performing maritime opreations most of the time since its founding in 1952 (we dont talk about naval helicopters here since airforce trees ingame only consists of fixed wing/variable sweep wing aircrafts). The only carrierborne fixed wing they use currently are the J-15 series which is too advanced for adding into the game right now.
Initially they uses same aircrafts with the air force (J-5, J-6, H-5 etc), adding naval camouflages for the ingame variants are more sensible option comparing to add a line of copy paste with different camos for them.
However they uses unique variants more fitting for naval opreation environments for the modern aircrafts (J-11BH etc) but I’m not sure their numbers can fit an entire naval line. Perhaps they could be added as event/premium or squadron vehicles.

J-15B & J-15D fitted AESA radar and armed advanced Air-to-Air Missile except J-15 basic/J-15S
Chengdu J-10AH from PLA Naval Air force fitted pulse doppler radar like J-10A (PLAAF) ?
I guess J-11BH (PLANAF) would be 13.0 BR
