Smin, at least said that some variants of cas for j-10c under consideration. It would be not funny at all if devs wont make a decision, and on live we`ll see NOTHING

could be 18th so 19th could be a hotfix day

Weight is one thing but engine thrust should be around 100kgf more and drag and lift profile needs to be adjusted for the airframe since rn these are copied from the C model

cause i was hoping for anything new, when it came to AAM’s, specialy since its the TOP TIER aircraft of Sweden. new plane both IRL and ingame. it shoudnt really have to only rely on missiles that planes a whole BR under it has. wich IRL, the missile is 30 years older than the plane.

so i was hoping for the c-5 (a missile allready ingame btw), maybe the C-8, very hopefully for the Meteor. but no.

the wings are also wrong.

I truly hope to see the J-10C with its WS-10B engine in the formal server, rather than an early version of the J-10C. If it’s the early version, the additional missile pylons on the fuselage and the triple-ejector bomb racks might also be missing.

yeah in this state it should be maximum 14.0 plane, that make no sense to add this (

The current J-10C is exactly like the F-15C EG: both feature AESA radars and carry additional missiles, but with almost no improvement in maneuverability. Each has its own distinct characteristics (the J-10C has a better radar, while the GE variant is equipped with BOL), and they share a similar in-game role at the same Battle Rating of 13.7 as secondary variants. Additionally, in the game, the J-10C’s model reuses many detail assets from the J-10A, apart from its primary features.

How so? You mean the extended elevators? Then yeah

Any chance at seeing any last minute additions or have we seen everything for the next patch now?

Still hoping against hope for a new CVRT or Impala this patch xD

The C-8 was already very wishful thinking (no way that would get added without the 18E, EFTs and F-15C GE also receiving it).

Meteor is borderline pure grade hopium/copium.

Though i do find it interesting that like every new plane this update at top tier can use some long range ARH that is not in game (AIM-174 R-37 Meteor PL-15)

Though to be fair AIM-120-C-8 could come right now and nothing would change

I think so but dev server’s closed sadly

I want next gen missiles to be added, both SRAAMs and BVRAAMs. Gimp their seekers to current in game levels and we ball. From that point they could be adjusted accordingly to balance and development.

I know I have been absolutely shitting on the Super Hornet and the next gen IR missiles wouldn’t suddenly make it good, but playing the Super Hornet with a 12x AIM-9X loadout does sound pretty damn hilarious.

Force dogfights then ripple fire like its Ace Combat

This but WVR and at 50Gs with TVC:
dcs-f18
