You know Shenyang is the manufacturer and not the plane right?
That’s like saying “the Mikoyan”
Just making sure because I assume you’re referring to a J-4 or F-5 but it’s not quite clear
You know literally nobody cares and everyone calls it a Shenyang because that’s what the card in wt says and its the only one called that right? Would it be clearer if i said it’s an F-5? Couldn’t possibly get confusing, could it.
Of course i know Shenyang is an aircraft manufacturer, and it’s not uncommon to refer to planes by their manufacturer, that’s how the germans did it all through WW2. Calling their 109s “Messerschmitts”. In WTs case there isn’t even any variant ambiguity since there’s only one plane with the manufacturer on its nameplate.
*Edit sorry my meds make me irritable ily
Well I did assume it was the F-5 because of the statcard, but this place is filled with people who know enough about aircraft that the statcard doesn’t interfere with how they call an aircraft so many here could call “Shenyang” any Chinese version of a Russian plane for example, if there was enough context. For instance, in a convo about the MiG-21 you could very well have a Chinese version referred to as “the Shenyang one”.
Also maybe something like Messerschmidt is a clear name for the 109 for you, but to me it can refer to a broad variety of German aircraft…
But it’s alright, we just have different talking habits
Yeah, apparently. In all my years of playing the game I’ve never run into anyone who got confused by the name Shenyang about which plane exactly it represents in the game. But i can see why you’d bring it up i guess, crazy world out there.

It’s mostly because I never took a good look at the Chinese tree’s middle tiers and only know it roughly because of my knowledge of the vehicles themselves, so I had no idea the F-5 had Shenyang in its name. Now I know anyway
Back on topic:
Just finished spading the J29A and A29B for Sweden.
