J10C‘s AESA radar much worse than the smaller JAS39E’s AESA radar in game lmao

Just Rus bias.

the issue is the J-10C radar can’t move, the Gripen radar is on swivel

great job guys, here have a half-assed radar model and an engine nerf

Where are you getting this information from? KLJ10 is currently more powerful thatn gripens radar in MPRF modes (weirdly not in HPRF tho but unless you know what you’re doing you are probably not using it)

There is neither WS10B nor the modeling and assignment of the radar, which is disturbing…
I hope they can make some changes to make it as excellent as SU30SM2, Gusts and AESA typhoons, or at least on par with 39E

Shouldn’t the radar be the KLJ-7A anyways? I don’t even think that KLJ-10A even exists.

why they modeling this radar in x-ray…

This is an improved version of the KLJ-7A with a mechanical scanning structure. I recall the KLJ-7A is the radar used on the JF-17 Block III (similar to the Captor-E radar in dev server). The KLJ-10A, however, does not have the rear mechanical structure; it is just a fixed, slanted radar array. Gaijin’s modeling is incorrect.

So Gaijin decided to nerf the J-10C in war thunder by giving us the early version with KLJ-10A compared to the standard with the KLJ-7A?

they gave us the more powerful fixed array

Hope this get’s changed.
[DEV] J-10C Stock Loadout position should be changed

KLJ-7A is the radar on the JF-17 blk3 its much smaller than the radar on the J-10C

Are we stuck with this radar then? It seems incapable vs other aircraft the same BR and prob would get lowered or stay the same BR if decompression happens.

Although the designation KLJ-10A may not be entirely accurate, the J-10C’s radar IRL is known for its exceptionally long detection range—over 200 km in MPRF mode against targets with an RCS similar to the Rafale—rather than for a wide scanning angle. This primarily stems from the PLAAF’s operational doctrine, which emphasizes long-range detection and engagement with beyond-visual-range missiles. Under such a doctrine, scanning coverage beyond ±70 degrees is considered a secondary priority.
Of course, Gaijin has botched it again as usual.

So the only way for the J-10C to reach its potential with KLJ-10A is with PL-15s or even PL-15Es?

If the J-10C’s radar were correctly implemented in the game, it would currently be the longest-range detection radar available (including the Su-30SM2—the N035 is regarded within the PLAAF as far inferior to the KLJ-10A). To fully leverage this radar’s distinctive advantage, expand the map size to 400 km firstly, and at least add the PL-12A.

yes we are “stuck” with the better radar. Which already is in game because it is way more powerful then those gimbaled arrays.

It has same power as much bigger nose of flanker with Irbis

Are there really no sources on the J-10C having WS10B that will be accepted?
