You know what’s even more absurd? The SU-30 has less drag than the J10C.
Do you have any idea how big an SU-30 is?
I found an image of a J16 next to a J10.
Look at the size of that!
Another shocking image is the Tejas next to a Su30mki.
The Su30SM/SM2 isn’t just huge; it has canards and wings with positive sweep, configuration that prioritizes lifting over drag.
And even so, it has less drag than a J10C in the game.
How is this possible? Can someone explain this to me?
positive sweep? how is it positive?
Positive sweep is conventional sweep wings.
Negative sweep is the case of the SU47
In the game, the LS-6 250kg bomb cannot achieve a 3x3 configuration on the J-10C’s triple ejector racks and is currently limited to 2x2 due to its oversized model (it is larger than the standard 250-3 bomb). This is also an issue that needs to be fixed.

This proves that Gaijin harbors deep hatred for China, especially since the Rafale and Su-30MKI being shot down by J-10Cs only fueled his hatred for the J-10Cs.
that is just wrong
maybe you should look at the actual drag values instead of the drag coefficent
the J-10 actually has less drag than the rafale until mach 1
You should check it with its composite pylons, massive drag
and the SU-30 will still have more drag than the J-10C
becasue the missiles will add the same ammount of drag and the Su-30 can carry more missiles so it will have more added drag
yeah for the Su-30
the problem is after mach 1, caused by the huge increase of cd0 parameter, which is almost doubled than rafale and ef2000
and clearly, the supersonic drag is more important in game
again you guys dont know what you are talking about and you shouldnt talk about it without a basic understanding of aerodynamics
Yes, but the drag problem occurs on the airframe; the J10A and C have far too much drag, the drag of the weaponry is another subject
the J-10 dosent have too much drag
it has way less drag than the Su-30
it has less drag than the Eurofighter and it also has less drag than the rafale
its not about missile and anything, its the pylon drag
pylon drag isnt modeled in game
becasue if it was the f-18 would be way slower
We’re talking about drag, you’re showing an engine performance curve
let me just borrow this for a quick answer. and I’m sure there is enough talking in this thread, explaining J-10’s design is more focus on supersonic not subsonic
most pylon drag isn’t modeled in game. only in some helis, so it’s the plane’s drag
guess what? try it with and without, significant difference
reading?
it clearly says drag and its until kgf
thats the unit drag is measured in
guess what
that appies to every aircraft ingame
