Well that was the hearsay at the time AFAIR.

Well yeah, so there are no known sources suggesting J10 actually has those issues in production blocks, so IDK why Gaijin did it.

How do u play F16A MLU? Just asking. So bad.

I stay around 4-5000 meters where you don’t have a long trail behind you, fire at aircraft 10-15 kilometers away with AIM-7M, unless if it is an F-14 then you have to defend early game and wait for them to be distracted before engaging.

Well uptier as well, AMRAAMs just shoot u out instantly if u go that high, also need to mind the 60 CM and slow acceleration.

Mhm, this is true.
I was only playing the MLU because my friends only had 12.7

I only play it with my friend in 13.0, if I crashed my J11 and got it locked. J8F is quite expensive and I can’t be bothered to buy it.

That MiG-29 who is not in a squad with you has quite the name. Miracle he got all the way to the MiG-29 without having to change it.

Guy on the other team also has a pretty bad name.

People are certainly being people

which server?

Forgot, I queued many servers (CIS EU NA)

I have only met NestleKitkat in a sim match once. Apart from that guy I have never met anyone from the forums.

I have met quite a few and even have a list of some who I have killed, still hoping to find more

I haven’t been looking out for u guys. Might start now.

I don’t get why the J-10A has such a huge increase in drag after Mach 1 ingame, the design of the J-10 was optimized for low supersonic drag for high-altitude interception, and yet the J-10A seems to perform really bad in terms of energy retention and acceleration at high altitudes.

It has it’s own playstyle, but other than getting into to dogfights, the thing is really rough to play. I never knew how bad AIM-7’s were until I played that thing.

Hello, I would like to reach out to you guys and see what can be said about sources stating the J-10A is 9,750kg in empty weight. Currently the J-10A in-game is 8,300kg. This would mean that theoretically the J-10A is missing 1,450kg in-game or 17% extra weight. This would impact the performance of the aircraft severely and hence why I would like to post these images here and leave it for consideration if anyone perhaps has counter-sources before I bug-report it. An increase in empty weight for the J-10A would also theoretically apply to later J-10 variants.

Based on Chinese documentation and not magazines or books, yes.
