Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

For sure. Either as event or squadron

Yeah that’s pretty much the same conclusion I’ve come to.

The cockpit is even identical between the production 10B’s and 10C’s

The early J-10B had the same hud as the 10A tho

I don’t think that would be a good idea, as it would be a better J-10B

It not like there aren’t already one-off aircraft in tech trees

But the nature of it, it’s hard to just put it in the tree, unlike stuff like Yak 141 which is at the end of tree or Ho229 which is like the end of the Nazi Germany tree. This one will either come folded to J10B or has to be an event vehicle otherwise it makes little sense.

Less advanced aircraft such as the j10b should be skipped. These less advanced aircraft tend to be folded in the next version, which will seriously slow down the progress of the air force line.

I 100% agree and think the 10B should be skipped for now. It can come later but it’s not a substantial enough upgrade over the 10A to compete with the Rafale EF2K and SU-30sm

Or later down the line add it as an premium like the FA18 or israeli F16 (the basic J-10B that is)

Does anyone know what is on the double rack hard point?

If I had to guess, training bombs, very similar in appearance to the one the UK uses.

Issue is it seem to carry something which is now released, because you can see there is a space and a mechanism under the ‘pod’ thing which likely was not meant to be like that.

CBLS for bomb training in the RAF;

Assuming its the same thing on the J-10, it looks incredibly similar.

What’s the purpose of these then?

Simulates a full sized bomb ballistics, so you can practice bombing. :)

Here’s the J-10CE’s hud and cockpit if you’re still looking for images for the CE

And the CE’s helmet

No J-10B/C on dev’s. Sad.

Do you mean refuelling probe?

no the fixed radar

fixed radar means worse gimbal limits than the j-10a, no insane gimbal limits like some other esa radars like the raven, captor e and the no35
