You seem to have missed the part where I’m doing both in order to illustrate that the AAM-4 having it’s real life performance wouldn’t make it overpowered compared to what is in the game.
It’s missing a ton of speed and range at the moment, which if given along with seeker changes to be true to life- Would, in fact, make it more powerful than any other ARH ingame, and by a good chunk too.
I never said it wouldn’t.
How can it be not "all that great” and the best missile in the game?
Not all that great relative to what some people are making it out to be, not what we have now.
F-ck-1 would only be like 13.3 and the j11b is just a j11 with a better radar rwr and pl12’s.
Oversimplification of the century.
Gameplay wise what other differences would there be
PL-8Bs and different engines.
like that isn’t a massive upgrade?
You’re also forgetting that there is the potential for WS-10A engines on the J-11B which are a decent bit better than the AL-31s the J-11A has
I’m pretty sure it’s got the same engines and gaijin is really reluctant to add pl8b’s so it would just get regular pl8’s.
The J-11B is about 700kg lighter than the Su-27SK, has a new and better engine, has one of the strongest PD radars, the Type 1493 radar, and a modernized RWR, as well as PL8B and PL12.
better engine, better missile, better radar, better RWR, better enough, canard is not so important
This is war thunder we’re talking about, it’s gonna be the same weight and only have regular pl8’s. And even if all that is true and they make it accurate it’s still not gonna be better than the j10a.
Canards are cool
The only way it won’t is flight performance, however it’d still be good in that regard.
It’ll be the best Flanker in the game, likely better than the SU-30SM too given the missiles are significantly better though that is yet to be seen, and there is a decent chance that we do get PL-8Bs, it looks like Gaijin were already planning on adding them with the J-10A, and with the Eurofighter and Rafale now dominating, it would be the perfect time to do it
Their roles in the game are different. So I’m going to say you’re wrong. The changes I mentioned have long been prepared on the Chinese forums. The Chinese players are ready for a heated debate match with Gaijin.
Just like the heated debate about the j10’s air to ground loadout, the j11a’s radar, the jh7a’s everything, and the f16a mlu’s aim120’s?
Because none of those went anywhere and they’re all still wrong.
That’s a gaijin thing. If it weren’t for the fierce resistance of Chinese players, do you think the J-10A would be as good as it is now? Or do you want to make Gaijin realize their mistake by keeping the players silent?
