Its the F-16 equivalent right? Yeah, does just make sense and is probably a reasonable “early” multi-role jet for China with plenty of upgrade variants based upon a quick look at Wiki

Dunno, the J-10 looks quite a bit more capable than the J-11
Edit: nevermind just found out about the thrust to weight ratio of the J-11 and Su-27 almost rivaling that of the Eurofighter
I’m thinking the teaser will be next Thursday, with this week just being the warmup, if you will, with only one or maybe two devblogs of substantial things.

J-10 is agile, it’s basically what happened when a Finback made love to a secret Israeli love child, scorned by her American father. It’s a good jet. Should be in soon hopefully.
It’s crazy to me that an aircraft with specs like that would enter service as late as 2005
The AIDC F-CK 1 would probably also be a good fit right now, don’t you think?
Typhoon should meet Mig-29s & F-16s, otherwise it’d just be same-make matches which is boring.
They might be different, but they’re not that different.
Takes time, what’s crazier is how FAR China has come since 2005.
From what I understand the J-10 started out in life as an Israeli aircraft (IAI Lavi - Wikipedia) that they were developing before being pressured into buying the F-16 or something like that. Then they sold the plans to china who finished the plans. But its only in more recent years that China has “caught” up with its Domestic production. A lot of their stuff seems to be knock-offs of Soviet stuff they’ve bought
Oh yeah, considering they developed the J-10 for the most part on their own that sure is a leap
Why did they name the plane this way?

It didn’t even occur to me that the designation almost says fuck lmao
I don’t have a clue why they would call it that way
Fighter - Ching Kuo - 1 would be my guess, but you’d think they would realise what the abbreviation looks like

The J-16 has nothing to do with the Su-35. The J-11BG is equivalent to the Su-35. They are both air superiority aircraft. The J-16 is multi-purpose and has a similar positioning to the F-15EX.
I implore you to learn the definition of the word ‘equivalent’.
Or maybe it is now introducing the F-18 instead of the Grippen? I’m not a Grippen fan. Personally, I would prefer the F-18 for its better ground attack capabilities. Also, the F-18 would be a better plane because they could add it to more countries.
Any fake leak lists yet?

I wonder what tomorrow devblog will be about. I suspect a ship.
We had one saying Thai sub trees would come.

I think you are far too hopeful in your timeline for 4.5/4++ Jets. There are many facets of the game to be worked on, even if there is a separate production team for Naval, Ground forces are getting rank 8 soon. Game engine updates, new gamemodes, mechanics, will all take up so much time.
Heavy emphasis on new gamemodes and mechanics, as those areas will be pushed the hardest if we keep introducing higher and higher performance vehicles with the current game.
There is a considerable desire in the community to change mission types, or atleast spice things up again, and this can be seen by the countless youtube videos we have about top tier AIRRB.
Even if they don’t change anything, it takes AGES to make new Air RB maps with how large they have to be nowadays.
And always, we have to accept that Gaijin may just want to artificially slow down future content updates to extend the games update cycle. 10 Years going stronger than ever, but we can’t have an F22 by 2025 if we want this game to live.

We don’t need to worry about the gaps created by updating vehicles too quickly, because the new content of our game is not just vehicles.
New models, new systems, are the focus of the future, and the idea of just staying in new vehicles is too old.
We can expect more maps, more space, richer game modes, and we shouldn’t limit ourselves to grab point scramble, this pattern is too small.
We can also expect SPH, PZH2000, PLZ05, M109A6/7, B1 Centaurus 155, and many more, around drone reconnaissance, tactical maps, people in the loop missile，datalinks, and more，we will greatly expand the gameplay, instead of boxing around A B C today, which is too boring.
We can also expect infantry systems, let’s think about this year’s April Fool’s Day event, motorized infantry, behold, infantry-armored unit coordination, plus our masterpiece— flying vehicles, oh… Oh, OHHHH… This is great, if you can expand the number of players, such as 24 vs 24, bigger maps, more gameplay, it’s even more exciting than just getting new vehicles!!
Don’t forget, our WT used to have a “capture point capture and advance” mode, a total of 3 capture points, if we expand them, integrate my above ideas, and integrate the game ideas of “Battlefield” and “Enlisted”into WT, our game experience will become richer, which is much more meaningful than simply waiting for a simple vehicle.
It’s great to make WT a multi-mode, three-dimensional multi-service joint operations game with ground vehicles, flying vehicles, helicopters, and even infantry.
I’m not only an old WTer, but also a Battlefield fan, and I’d love to experience the same mode and experience as Battlefield in WT, with a bigger battlefield, more players competing on the same stage, and a more exciting game feeling, oh… If I could, I’d literally fly XDDDDDD
Hey, my favorite Gaijin, how about you think about that? @Smin1080p ：DDDDDDD
More gameplay, more potential players, more money, better future, fantastic
