Chengdu J-10, History, Performance & Discussion

IR GB3?
I like this.

Both IR GB3 and C704 should arrive

I hope so, it’s been a while since the C-704 model was in the files


The only thing missing to complete the Chinese AGM loop is the C-701

Unfortunately, Gaijin removed the unit insignia of the 131st Brigade. So sad.

what is that, a phoenix?

The PLA Air Force’s 131st “Red Eagle” Brigade is the first unit in China to be equipped with the J-10 fighter jet. Its former insignia was a distinct red eagle, but it has now been changed to a low-visibility color scheme.

anyway it’s still technically available, and no need to change model

sadly I think no this thing, only IR LS-6 kit presented as model


Look how clean that J10C is. Now look at it in game.

Gaijin’s odd fixation with giving everything a weathered look.

The engine is fine. What really needs to be fixed is the resistance

Not asking for a buff to the level of the Rafale, but at least lower the Cd0 to that of the Eurofighter.

may i ask, why do you think this? just curious

gib chinese HOSBO to J-10C gaijin

though a bit more like AASM if with turbo motor and edge fins

wait it has a boost motor?, if the only change is the seeker then it would be HOSBO but i havent ever seen a motor on an LS-6

Because it makes no sense for the J10 and only the J10 to have comically higher drag than the Rafale the Typhoon and the Gripen.

well, in model, same as IR seeker

I simply believe that for this type of aircraft, the Eurofighter’s Cd0 represents a “normal” baseline—the J-10C’s is too high, while the Rafale’s is too low. Logically speaking, as a single-engine fighter, the J-10C should, in principle, have a slightly lower Cd₀ than the other two.

The reason the J-10C’s drag is considered “abnormal” is that its Cd0 around Mach 1.2 is nearly equal to the sum of the other two aircraft’s coefficients.

Yeah this makes no sense.
