They won’t be enough, the JAS-39E and other eurocanards get the MBDA Meteor, which is widely regarded as the best A-A missile in the world. And the super hornet gets the AIM-174, which is also one of the best.
buh ?
We should’ve gotten J-10B already and C version should’ve been on its way already.
I don’t understand why y Gaijin is so stubborn when it comes to adding advanced J-10 versions.

C is probably enough, we don’t need every single version of every single plane imo
Yeah could’ve easily seen the J10B get added like 2 or 3 updates ago, they probably didn’t cause they might have thought it was too near to the initial release of the J10A.
I expect to see one in the next update or the one after, basically 1 year apart from the A variant.

j10c gonna have worse fm than the j10a?
so the J-10C can carry 10 missiles totally ? 2x ir missiles + 8 fox3s ?
yes, 3 double racks for fox 3s, 2 fox 3s on single pylons and 2 fox 2s for total of 10
+1 will be an absolute demon for china
Its like F-16A and F-16C situation.
J-10C’s pros will outweight its cons.

Due to Gaijin’s incorrect modeling of the J-10A’s empty weight and drag, the performance shift from the J-10A to the J-10C ends up being far worse than the improvements seen from the F-16A to the F-16C. For F-16s, this translates to worse turning performance but better climb and acceleration; for J-10s, however, it results in a complete degradation of both turning performance and climb/acceleration rate, especially considering the current J-10A’s climb and acceleration already fall short of the F-16A’s.

Basically the only pros j10c will have is aesa radar + irst and 2 more arh missiles at least for air to air. Everything else seems to be a downgrade (including top speed)
J-10A is the early variant, J-10B changed the air inlet to DSI and J-10C upgraded the radar. These are different aircrafts
Well the J-10C has the improvements of the J-10B so that seems enough to me… like all Rafale standards are different but we’ll never see all of them, what matters is that we get the most memorable ones, not necessarily all of them
would j-10b be lighter than j-10c while having the ws-10b? although I’d rather have the extra double racks of the j-10c
J10C WS-10B is a thrust vectoring engine as well
No, it is not.
The only TVC J-10 was a one of J-10B prototype
Only one J-10B prototype utilized the WS-10B engine.
