yeah, i never mentioned spain
You should do another one with Finland missing, given that they’re a subtree unlike the others

To be fair considering the missile count of the competition compared to the F-2s strict 4+4 ARH/IR loadout some better missile might be needed.
Maybe AAM-4B (they even have the model ready since it’s what they used for the AAM-4 in game), or they fix AAM-3

thx
I mean people seem to think the F-16C is fine and i’ve been told the F-2 is better. So the AAM-3 should be enough.
I mean, the post you replied to was me asking about people thinking Spanish stuff should go to Italy
Hmmm…
I’m not sure if this is real tho, but seeing as it appeared on the leak list I’m inclined to believe that it is.

I really hope it is real
Yeah but then it can’t carry IR missiles. Most people already bring 2 IR missiles and 4 ARH. So 4 and 4 is already good.
Same poll, but with only non-subtree hornets (no Finland) @BearHasLanded
- AUS/CAN or Kuwait Hornet (UK
- Swiss Hornet (Germany)
- Malaysian Hornet (Japan)
- Spanish Hornet (Italy)
- None of the above

I mean, they’re adding the SM to Russia, probably not going to leave CN behind by much.
I do find it interesting that they’re delaying the J-10B once again though. Something about the J-10B scares Gaijin lol.

Doesn’t matter if it’s real, you can expect a 10 minute video from TEC or Mat later today lol

For Gaijin, the J11B requires no significant workload. The aircraft model and aerodynamic model do not need major alterations. The PL12 missile is already in game, and the PL8B is just the existing PL8 with IRCCM added. The radar is likely to be a re-skin of an existing radar in the game.
Like with the US and Israeli F-15E, they probably don’t want China to have the best version of the Flanker, and with Chinese missiles, I think the J-11B will be better than the SU-30SM, especially if it has the WS-10A engines that it should get.
J-10B is a weird one, there weren’t that many of them so they may not add it at all and just skip to the C, but also the J-10A is still pretty good, at least compared to the J-11A so maybe the Flanker is just the priority, and they don’t want to do both in one update

i think they will keep the C variant until they want release pl15 and pl10 in to the game.
It somewhat is, in the same way as an F-18 is an F-5.
It’s like an F-16C Block 40, except it has a larger fuselage, larger and trapezoidal wing, larger elevators, wider and more pronounced LEX, a larger radome to fit the Japanese J/APG-1/2 AESA radar, a higher sitting three piece cockpit, F110-IHI-129 engine and enlarged version of the NSI intake, makes heavy use of lighter and more durable composite materials with radar absorbent properties, adds an additional armament station to each wing, adds a drogue chute as well as two additional countermeasure dispensers to the vertical tail, is compatible with Japanese domestic missiles such as the AAM-3, AAM-4/4B, AAM-5/5B, ASM-2/2B, ASM-3/3A and GCS-1/2, uses domestic FCS system integrating decoupled yaw control and maneuver enhancement modes in addition to a maneuver load control mode similar to the F-16, a new cockpit and larger HUD and largely Japanese electronics, as well as the best service livery of any modern fighter jet.
But apart from that there’s still a little under 5% commonality with the F-16 and it does resemble one when you don’t have a reference at hand
