Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

KD88 perhaps a kh59 copy stuff with a ir seeker. IDK why gaijin hids this AGM while it’s not stronger than kh38

There’s no reason why the C-701 shouldn’t be a small AGM with a 29 kg payload, so its explosive charge should be smaller. The C-704 is the same, and in terms of effectiveness, it will be: C-701 < AGM-65 = C-704 < KH-29


We could have already had the C-701 on the J10A, but it’s not Russian equipment, so it’s not a priority
It’s 2026 and the Chinese nation still doesn’t have a national AGM !!!

It’s like the story with the LS-6 250 IR. How long did we wait for a glide bomb with an IR seeker when other nations already had this kind of bomb 6 or 8 months earlier? It’s the same with Chinese AGMs. I find that Gaijin really isn’t making any effort to add weaponry that isn’t necessarily stronger than others, but just equivalent :/

I prefer CM400AKG, 5 mach speed with 200kg warhead :)

And also LS6(ir)(250kg) should have same store configuration with gb3

Gaijin could do it, and controlling those missiles isn’t complicated: make sure that the anti-aircraft defense bots have the ability to detect and destroy large AGMs, or even that certain ships with radar could defend themselves against anti-ship missiles.

But hey, we have to wait 4 months for the next big update to get yet another new F18, copy-pasted F16 and Su30 parts everywhere, that’s really what all the players want!!!

The development team realized that modern Chinese equipment was more efficient than Russian equipment

I’m waiting for the YJ-83 and KD-88, even if they’re not as fast as the KH 38 or 29; they’re still the main AGM missiles that China currently uses :)

I meant the one that moved EF and Rafale to 14.7, which meant it didn’t have to face any ridiculous planes.

Frankly, the J-10C, with its radar bugs fixed, had performance commensurate with its BR. It seems like the J-10C mysteriously received bug fixes later than other aircraft, leading to a decline in its performance compared to others. If it then received the PL-12A and WS-10B, it feels like a setup, or “match pumping.” It looks a bit manipulative.

I am certainly looking forward to the new missile and the new engine. However, the PL-12 is already a sufficiently powerful missile, and I question whether there was truly a need to update the PL-12 to the 12A.

Finally.

doesn’t it have kind of low thrust?

If that’s the case a report will come soon I believe.

The thrust is slightly less compared to the J-15T’s which I believe is channel loss?

J10 have less channel loss though iirc

That’s for A variant. Nothing solid for the C-variant.

I’m not sure for J-10C. On the same topic, I also don’t know if Gaijin knows how to model DSI intake correctly, and whether it actually changes something ingame.

They didn’t have the J-10C spaded so this is not the max thrust

It should be slightly over 14k spaded
