Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

Yeah, 12.3 is pretty fine where it is until it gets more A2G ordinance to work with.

The spawn cost is way too punishing to just spawn with an ARH loadout. I have to kill at least 3 people if I wanted to spawn in with my missiles, or I could just spawn in with IR only but at that point I’d rather just play SPAA to accumulate more spawn points or just spawn heli with TY-90s and hide in a corner somewhere.

We all know that top tier aircraft has seperate battle ratings for GRB/ARB now, so ground ordinance should have no impact on the ‘‘true’’ BR.

Wrong. The KH-38 is the only one with IOG, meaning even if you spot the launch and deploy smoke, it will still hit the target. Combine that with the fact that it has a warhead comparable to a cruise missile, you basically have to create an entire smoke trail to avoid one.

Mod is asking for evidence of a target designator box for the HUD.

I found a video of a training dogfight with a J10(C variant I think) and a Flanker.

In the first clip I think the Flanker isn’t locked and the J10 switches to a vertical scan. It cuts to the second clip with a box on the left side with an arrow and some numbers. I don’t know if its a target box for the flanker thats off the HUD or maybe a waypoint marker. Could someone help identify or provide another picture/video of something similar?

I see what you mean but it could after all just be the HUD purely having a different display rather than having an actual TD box which allows better ability. I will have a look although just to note J10C can’t be used for J10A source, so I will try and find it on CCTV app instead for older footages.

Thank you, and your right its definitely an incorrect model.


This video shows a simulation of the J10C HUD which is different from the J10A.

J10A HUD looks almost identical to the F16A HUD.
(【歼10夜间训练撞鸟坠毁】HUD画面公开,为保护人民群众生命安全的解放军飞行员点赞_哔哩哔哩_bilibili) This video at 7:12 at onwards shows the J10A HUD in a navigation mode.

It can be confirmed to be the J10A variant from this video. →

At 0:25 you can see the right MFD is used as a HUD repeater and you can match the SAFE, NAV. and other characters (also the attitude indicator that can be found in the F16 HUDs). The cockpit matches the J10A and according to the comments this incident happened in 09 and the intake of the plane when a shot of an outside view is shown matches the J10A variant intake.

The GAIJIN just give the new drop tank for J10A, in game it is 1600 liters. However, in reality, according to the academic research and J10 family photo in air show, it should be 1700 liters, and its name is FYX1700,which English meaning is “drop tank 1700 liters” (name is from the GJB 4864-2003), so i hope you can help my issue!

“Not a bug”

Ignore TrickZZter he blocked more reports than all other mods together.

All tech mods must send the reports to him for some sort of final check before it is forwarded to devs, so yeah… that is expected. It’s his “job”.

Not from what I see, I’ve seen DavidBowie and him chucking opposite tags on a report over and over again lol, just acknowledged then not a bug.

Sometimes new information is given or something is explained differently, sometimes a miscommunication is made. Bowie’s native language is not English and neither is Trickzzter’s. Communication errors are likely in that scenario, especially if it is over a French or Chinese report for example as then we have three people trying to talk in three different versions of English.

I know that this isn’t the right forum, but can someone bug report the JF-17 and its missing MAWs (missile approach warning) sensors? It is modeled ingame right under the vertical stabilizer but it doesn’t work.

Pain, have to prove to Gaijing that this us MAWs again.

Targeting pod issue still isn’t fixed on the dev server lol

Also loadouts still appear to be the same, shame

The twin pylons of the J-10A could have mounted the GB250, and it could have had 5 twin pylons, damn it.

Not surprising, probably DEV runnin on older version of the game itself (since it have moving gunpods for Su-24M)

Oh, supposedly the dual pylon was added to the center pylon for 250s for a whopping x1 more bomb!!

So nice of them to make this change but sit on the LS-6 and GB250/500s 🤣
