Su30SM has already given to Russia (according to my research, it was released in 2013). China on the other hand has a “relative” which has thy name of J16 (first shown in 2011). And it has a similar performance as F15E (J11B is only capable of fighting with F15C, not F15E). Thus when J16 is released J11B should be lowered to 13.7 (same with su27sm and F15C MCIP II, unless su27sm and F15 MCIP II rises to 14.0).
To be released successfully, J16 (series) should be equipped with:
1, GaN/ESR Radar (2680 T/R units) and could detect aircrafts or so with the RCS of 5㎡ in 250km.
2, PL15 missile and PL10 missile (J10C could also be released with J16 simultaneously) [PL10 missile has both infrared-guided and radar-guided versions. It also has Thrust Vector Control].
3, It is capable of taking 10 missiles. It has 12 hangars in total and 10 of them are able to take Multiple Ejection Rack (MER). So it is six PL10 and sixteen PL15.
including four PL10 and four PL15 ( PL 15 is an interesting missile as it has a double pulse rocket engine which enables it to have a better mobility at the near end of the target.)
P.S. PL17 is too advanced, so it could be released after the stealth fighters enter the game.
4, J16 has C4ISR system, but for normal players, it is an overload. But still could be added by helping ally Chinese fighters guide their missiles. J16 could also be able to reach enemy information from the radar of the ally and share the data with them. It could also attack enemies without using their own radar and use the radar of the ally.
5, It has electronic warfare pods that could defend itself from enemy infrared missiles ( still, too advanced for the planes we have now, could be added after stealth planes enter) [J16D could be used in SEAD missions]
ALL I WANT IS RESTORE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE INSTEAD OF RELEASING A PLANE FULL OF BUG AND TELLING US THAT IT IS “NOT A BUG” IN FORUMS
My money is on a later J-10 variant and the Gripen NG next major update in September or the one in October
Though PL-15 would have to be added alongside “equivalents” such as Meteor and Aim-120D and PL-10 alongside missiles such as ASRAAM, IRIS-T, Aim-9X etc. The former probably wont be added for a while yet, but the latter… I could see as early as end of this year
Which is partially why I think it will be the J-10B/C over anything else. China has already gotten multiple heavy missile trucks like the J-11s. So an upgraded J-10 which can hold its own ish, would just make sense. Also has a very decent multi-role payload iirc. Which is something also China lacks
Well yes but you can’t folder indefinitely lol, and you can’t have more than 3 unfoldered vehicles per tier per line. Though if we give J-15s and J-16s their best armament they might be high enough in br to be rank 9 so it might work
I think it would go under future su30mkk/mk2, which would probably go under either jh7a or j11. it was derived from the j11bs if i remember right but it’s most similar in role to the su 30s
