Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

I would not be happy if one of the best flankers for chn ingame wise would be a prem, already wasnt happy with them given the prem su30 pl12’s and 8’s

Its historical so there is nothing to be mad about.

Except the part were theres no reason to grind chinese top tier anymore since you have all and slightly more than it has to offer BR for BR wise, also wing tip Pl8 is not historical

Sure just remove the wingtip, it doesnt bother me since I’m using R73+Pl-12 combo.

Also J11B is much better plane than MKK as well as J-10 family, not to mention in the future Chinese air tree will become even better.

Br for Br wise the 30 is better imo, also high chance that future Additions will be quite scuffed thanks to gaijin

That’s because Su-30 sits at such a low br, it should be 13.7 in current compression.

There is always a chance for that.

Is this issue able to be bug reported, or at least have more information found?

I always found it a little silly on how the J-10 A/C seemed to have a lot of empty model and low endurance.

J-10C is so back

Hope it’s not a longer range aim120c

will it be to good tho? wont it be more on the same level as the R-77-1, with it trading in a bit more range for a bit less pull when compared to the R-77-1

The newsletter stated the PL-12A will have more range. Assuming the new changes, PL-12A will either have a better booster, in thrust or burn time, and/or a better sustainer booster.

Hard to find actual info on the PL-12A given how secretive China is with their military tech usually.

Is the PL12A the same seeker as the PL15? Or is it an improved version of the PL12?

From what I’ve seen its not an aesa like the pl15, just a pd radar. Still should be better than before in terms of chaff resistance and especially iog with the new satellite datalink its getting.

Not likely. Not enough info.

Will likely still have same seeker while everyone gets a refresh, hate to say it probably will be worst on arrival, unless gaijin does some work on guidance logic.

It is also not really active so even harder to find stuff.

Only thing ive seen about the 12A is a seeker cone in a museum exhibit. Everything else is 12AE lol we can atleast hope they get said cone correct, tho i think theyll either make an AE and just call it A or take the normal Pl-12 and boost the motor or buff drag.

It sounds like he’s saying, ‘Changing the model’s a pain, but I’ll do it anyway, lol.’
