That’s honestly good to hear since the Su-30MKK didn’t get Kh-38. If J-10C gets KD-88 this could still give the necessary capability to China.

Wow lmao, who would’ve seen that coming…
Can’t ever close the gap with good old russia

Better engines, missiles and avionics? (Maybe)

Just imagine that in-game with the KD-88, it’s way too strong; the KD-88 will be nerfed without this mechanic.

Okay, this is a C-802AKG, but it does the same thing as the KD-88

Thanks, interesting read!

yeah AL-41F1S engines which still get TVC and the Irbis-E radar which I think is an actual AESA radar and not PESA

It’s the Su-35s radar, still a PESA unfortunately, but about as good of a PESA as you can make

Essentially a 2 seater Su-35 with canards and lacking MAW

Also, wasn’t Gaijin’s official reaction to the whole Chinese fandom crashout that they’d start implementing more indigenous Chinese vehicles?

Guess that promise was worth exactly as much as all others we’ve gotten over the years.

I think just later version of AL-31f, like F3

Do you mean LOAL? Gaijin denied any intentions to implement it a good while ago

Well AL-41 is the proposed one, it’s meant to have them whether installed or not irl

gaijin will probably find some info that the AL-41 was mounted to a one off as a proof of concept or something lol

Someone can draw it on a napkin, bug report it and boom

They will use a technicality… as with so many other things.

Russia, US and France getting a second top tier AESA aircraft while Israel doesn’t even seem to be getting their first this update lmao.

Not that suprising given how they have treated the Isrseli tree in the past, but still sad.

tbf idk how many options they have, obviously the F-15SG on the leak list but it seems it might have been delayed, Im not sure what the Greeks or Cyprus add but I assume not a lot

Well, only a few have it, and I think it’s too early to have a AL-41 Flanker, so earlier version with better AL-31 would be fine

it’s real, some new produced SM2 in last year has AL-41

Rahhhh i’m losing it, zero fun allowed for the 3 israel players left
