Isn’t the J-10B still capable of carrying C701 missiles?
Called YJ-7 in china
however so far i only found Z-9C and Z-8 use it
would be pretty cool though, i want more anti ship missiles
A definite add! More J-10’s! +1

i heard it had a m1 not a fn3 but i think the modern j10bs have a m1 not a fn3 but the j1-b tvc uses a ws10b3 which is weird consediring the m1 also has tvc
Yes, these missiles do exist:
- CM-502KG (Currently usable in-game by the Z-10, J-10A, JH-7A, JF-17, and J-11B. Faster air-launched variant.)
- CM-704KG (Similar to the Kh-38. Currently usable by the J-10A, JF-17, JH-7A, and J-11B.)

From an upgrade perspective, the J-10B might not be necessary to add to the game, as it doesn’t differ significantly from the J-10C. However, the J-10B TVC (with thrust vectoring control) is highly unique and absolutely deserves inclusion.
Instead, I believe we should prioritize the J-10A MLU (Mid-Life Upgrade). Beyond its avionics upgrades for compatibility with the PLA’s newer weapons, the most critical improvement is its radar: it replaces the outdated Type 1473 mechanically scanned pulse-Doppler radar with the JKL-24 GaN AESA radar—the same system used on the J-10B/C/CE! This upgrade would allow the J-10A MLU to field PL-15 and even the PL-17 (though the PL-17 is too heavy, limiting carry to just one on the centerline pylon).
Of course, this is just my personal take—I’ve already upvoted your proposal regardless!

So does anyone have any concrete info about the 10B’s radar?
Many say it’s a PESA radar due to the red antenna
But to my understanding those are just the IFF dipoles
I want to see this and the C-variant with more access to air-to-ground missiles. I want to use it in more of a multi-role. While the guided bombs are nice, it needs something a bit faster with more kick.
Not to mention, missile range isn’t even a factor anymore. We have missiles with several tens of kilometers of range anyway which encompass the map as it is, might as well expand its capability especially since it only carries 2 of them.
Also, I think the “F-pylon” can carry the dual AAM mount but might be for the C-version only, idk.
It will be nice to have a J-10 missile slugger.

The Airframe between the B and C should be identical only difference is the engine and avionics, so theoretical the B should be able to carry the same dual belly pylon.
But the PLAAF rarely flies with full capacity loadouts, so its never been seen on anything except the CE
