So what’s the problem with being the worst of the best? The problem is that in the game you face the best.
I don’t want the J10C to be the top dog, I just want it to perform about average compared to its peers.
WS10b is the minimum
yeah im just saying this isnt new the J10A isnt paticurally good at dogfighting im pretty sure the new grippen E even heavier can still beat it
its at least better than the j11/j11a.
prolly worse than the j11b/j10a though, with j11b being the best dogfighter China has
just wish it kept the R73s for dogfight missiles
Which is funny cuz in real life J-10 beats the J-11 in dogfights rather easily iirc.
Tbf Gripen E has a new engine barely bringing its TWR to a bit above 1. In a turn its slightly better than the J10C, with the new engine it would probably be better, and if they fix the drag maybe it could give the euro a run. Thats a lot of ifs though
Gripen E also has increased weight so it’s only a slight engine performance increase.
It can still give J-10s, Eurofighter and Rafale some issues but it practically has to be a low speed dogfight.
Now imagine Gripen E with MICA’s and IRIS-T.
Would be a literal demon at close to medium range.
for J-11B maybe, as J-10C has much better radar and ECM system than it. since J-11B is much older with last generation electronics and missiles.
it even won SU-35 several times, though SU-35 has much powerful radar, as reported, J-10C won by much smaller RCS, more advanced radar and better ECM which reduced the N035’s range to similar standard, then the PL-15 get the final kill.
Huh?
I was saying that J-10 beats J-11’s in dogfight on my previous comment?
Definitely will get IRIS-T in the future, but MICAs were denied. Stuck with AMRAAMs till MBDA Meteor comes. 😔
Ah, I jumped over the “dogfight” part
J-10A outclasses the J-11B in most metrics
It doesn’t, J-10A actually loses in most except a few like radar gimbal
Otherwise J-11B is better in basically everything
We were talkking about dogfight scenario where the J-10A is simply better
i believe pl12A is being added
Indeed it is
J10C is getting its new better engine and PL15s
PL-12A, not 15.
now only 120CM to make it perfect
