AIM-120s are the worst pulling missiles therefore you always need to put yourself in a worse position than any other fox 3 to fire a return shot in a joust, so they’re always worse, it’s really that simple, they are the worst top tier fox 3 for this reason
the drag is utter nonsense as well as the lack of ws10, I really hope it’s fixed because the ef2000/rafale meta is so stale
im going to just say, the only thing horrible with the plane is the drag and the lack of it’s better engines… that’s it and both of those can be easily solved
actually the PL-12s are a lot better, BVR is pretty useless for the current game, the meta is focused on missiles that pull alot and the only things that the PL-12s pull behind are the R-77s + MICA-EMs… so imo they’re one of the best missiles for top tier, i’ve hit very off bore shots with them that are impossible to do with the AMRAAM
imagine taking the statcard numbers to face value
i will say though spading the J-10C was miserable and it’s not too good for 14.3 (mid) even after spading it, it’s definitely 14.0 material. the insane drag increase after mach 1 and lack of engine power just screw it over, not to mention the extremely high fuel consumption to pair it with
data mine literally is 35g so maybe get with reality bro, it’s not always wrong, also maybe cool it with the victim complex gaijin isn’t out to get you.

I accept your concession, you can stop the useless replying
Frankly, I think it’s 14.3 material. However, the planes around it like the Rafale, EF w/AESA, and SU-30SM2 need to go up to at least 14.7, if not 15.X. Insane that multiple straight, major upgrades of the EF and SU-30 are at the same BR as their previous, significantly weaker earlier variants. It seems like they’re likely going to put the top tier 4.5 gen AESA planes into rank 9 sometime next year, so hopefully that comes with some nice BR decompression as well. The Gripen E should be similar, moved up, while the top-top tiers move up even more.
We should be advocating for planes to be going up, not down, unless absolutely necessary. Moving the J-10C down would just compress 13.X even more than the Gripen E already has, while having a negligible impact on the J-10C’s actual matchmaker.
The battle rating isn’t the issue it’s the gimped flight model
What exactly is wrong with the J-10C FM it seems like its just the same old J-10 with more thrust
well pl12 is 38g, and I guess you’re yet to find out lmao.
he was prob thinking of the AAM 4, that dose outpull the aim120 even tho the stat card says it has less Gs
It has stupidly High drag, and it’s engines power Is not enough
wasn’t talking about the range tho just the Pull, its drag is also the closest to the aim120 at top tier
i meant the J10C Flight performance
Oh my B, i think the devs arnt gonna change it cause the community would then ask them to fix all the other gymped FM at top tier
If the Flight performance Is incorrect It should be fixed, period
