Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

Does anyone have anything on J10CY?

Yes, Gaijin has sat on it for some time now. I don’t think they wish to correct it. “Forwarded as suggestion”. Kind of like the F-16’s overperforming in stability and departure symptoms.

J-10CY is a special variant for the August 1st aerobatic team, with the gun removed and a smoke generator added.

It can participate in an actual conflict if needed.

Yes, that is why I think it might be worth time looking at, what does the modification on the back do though?

I’m not sure what the spine does.
It could be for aerodynamics or smoke, idk.

I don’t think it was for smoke, cause they have plenty of cheaper and smaller mods for smoke, rather than doing that to the back, might be for aerodynamics although I struggle to think why it would help. Maybe Avionics?

Maybe. I don’t follow the J-10 as much as I do the Flanker, so I’m not sure.

Looks like J-10A HUD works in Dev server now

I think they are preparing to add the J-10B, at the same time they fixed the J-10A. BVVD said that there is still a technique that is being worked on, they cannot show it yet. Plus, Smin ignores any questions about China’s aviation innovations in this patch, but it perfectly answers any others. I think we can expect J-10B (I suppose 50% probability), J-11B(35%), both (5%), none of them (10%)

Has anyone been yet? Seems like we can take guided bombs on inner pylons as well.



In contrast to existing loadouts, it is easy to see that in the inner pylon for a single PL12 or fuel tanks, guided bombs, at least a 250kg one seen there is able to be carried.
This is in 北京航空航天博物馆,J-10 labelled 1002.

This is LA-7 behind and left j-10?

Yes, I believe so. U can’t see it but there is a P61 there as well. I really want to go but I went on the day when they moved it in, so the entire inside is not open.

You see, I knew that J-10 can take more than two LGBs.
We should report to Gaijin.
Will make J-10A slightly better at CAS.

Is this specifically regarding China?

It will still be worse than the JH-7A. The only thing I want is 2 PL-5E2 wingtips, for defense and playing ARB. I would really like at least 4 KH-29T , but for now, normal air-to-air missiles are enough.

Nobody talked specifically about China, but the community manager in his manner ignores questions about the j-10b and j-11b. When asked about the F-2 or F-18, he answered almost immediately and not to one but to many people and many times. I think he can’t say it, but he doesn’t want to deny it, so he ignores it.

I think this might be true.
The dev server seems very rushed this update.
Maybe we will see something when it is updated.

I think most likely, J-10B will be added on the second dev server, as was the case with mirage 2000 in the last patch. The plane is not so unique and iconic as to make it the face of the patch. But the j-11B will probably be in a patch dedicated to Flankers, along with some su-30 or SU-27M

Well, J-10B is a canard-delta.
It would fit the theme with the Rafale and Eurofighter.

I think J-11B might come with Su-30SM which was leaked by Olivia or something.

With the coming of Rafale and Typhoon which both have great thrust to weight and also low drag, is there any chance Gaijin reducing the drag for J-10? Good turnrate wouldn’t make J-10 much better because there are actual aircraft that can pull as hard as J-10 while also have the acceleration almost as like F-15E.
