You don’t need the drop tank.
There are other throttle setting than 110%

exactly. arb i just run full throttle cause you might as well. Sim, just run 101 throttle the entire time until engaged
well, I just get it full, it’s a bit few but just enough for me.
usually, I play in a quite aggressive style
though, about the fuel, it’s said current fuel amount is not so accurate, another version is about 20-30% more, makes it just enough for current game
I have to say that the J-10C’s internal fuel is actually only about 10% less than that of the F-16C, and its relatively limited range endurance is mainly due to engine-related issues.
And the incorrect internal modeling of the J-10 series.
The fuel tank locations on the J-10C correspond roughly to the green composite material areas shown in the diagram.

a slightly better radar, and it’s a sidegrade to say at most.

I would still prefer being able to drop the extra fuel when I engage, and on larger maps, 23 min is just not enough, even on 100%, that fuel will barely get u back to base if u engage for even 3-4 min. It’s also weird to say in ARB that ‘there are other settings than 110%’ since if u wanna engage BVR, 110% is necessary, if u wanna get away from engagement, 110% is necessary. With the current rules of ARB there is no other solution than 110%.
Gotta complain to Gaijin cause it’s wrong.

gaijin could add the extra tanks in the x-ray but not increase the fuel
how do you know that the internal ammount of fuel is wrong
Yeah good point, although I guess we can estimate the volume, and if consumption is constant then it would def be more ‘time’. But obviously the fact that Gaijin uses time as a measurement of fuel is annoying.

Do you have the specific fuel consumption data for the intermediate thrust setting of the AL-31F series engines? The value in the game seems a bit too high at the moment, which is affecting the performance of both the Flankers and the J-10 series.
the volume dosent help you much since the game uses the weight of the fuel and that is dependent on the fuel type used and its density
There Is a bug report regarding the too High fuel consumption on AL-31 engine and it’s derivatives

This issue report doesn’t specifically mention the AL-31FN and FN-3 variants. Currently, in the game, these two engines share the same fuel consumption rate as the base AL-31F. However, I’ve seen some sources suggesting they are different, though the reliability of this information is unknown.
So, based on your data, it seems that you haven’t really researched and purchased the J-10C and played it. Are all the comments you have made so far based on your speculation?

j10c is doing completely fine lol. it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have the air craft, he can still make statements on it as the stats of vehicle are freely available.
also I just checked his stats, and he literally has the j-10c? so idk what you’re talking about
To be honest, I personally think that in the current version, the radar of the J-10C is more important and needs to be fixed than the engine or fuel level. This radar will experience periodic loss of tracking targets in the 70x30 ° TWS scanning mode. In addition, there seem to be some issues with the TAS function of this KLJ-10A radar.
If the radar can be repaired, then I think this plane belongs to a fun airplane, but far from being strong. His intensity is at the median.

But you only got a KR of 1.5 around which is not a very good value. It may depend more on your own strength rather than body performance, and even contain a certain element of luck. And you should know that achieving high KD values in this game is a very easy task - all you need to do is kill enough AI targets and then J-out at the airport. To be honest, you must admit that this is not a model with enough competitiveness to compete for the TOP 1. I think most players here have overlooked the radar bug of the J-10C. Instead of arguing about other performance here, let’s focus on some of the things currently in the game.

I can assure you ron is not a statpadder lol
first you accuse me of never playing the J-10C, where you were proven wrong
and then you acuse me of statpadding, in the try of devaluing my opinion

oh sorry, is my bad. I only checked his Air Realistic record and not his Air Simulator record. I apologize for my recklessness. Mainly not only here, but also in the Chinese community, there are many players who make unfounded comments without truly experiencing a vehicle, which makes me very angry. I really dislike these people.
