its the gaijin cycle refuse to balance game add new mechanic causes massive change in meta op ness refuse to fix it and add new mechanic again
the thrust vectoring is great in rb, you can easily just aim your nose at them and shoot them down if your missiles miss
all you have to do is force 1 circle then youre at the advantage, its easy
Neither are going anywhere. They were added to Japan for this spesific reason.

may i ask how in god’s name is the J-10C’s thrust lesser than the J-15T which has a greater channel loss%?
Yeah thrust vectoring is sooo op, as long as it’s an isolated 1v1 dogfight.
1v1 it one circles everything.
Afterwards though you’re third party food
it really is great if you get your enemy to be slow, basically a free win every time even without r73s
Wrong.
They do not have the electronics implemented as this is reserved for the squadrons I mentioned above. POBIT is basically the same idea as the CCIP program, software and new systems bringing it up to similar standard as those that came before it or that it is adjacent to. These aircraft DO NOT possess the capability for SEAD without modification. These are not Block 70/72 aircraft which can do SEAD out of the box.
POBIT are Block 50/52 with common systems and equipment as the block 70/72 but do not possess all capabilities of the 70/72.
How about Indonesia?
M8 seriously stop pulling stuff from your rear, Singapore will go wherever a nation that either needs them or go where there tech is based they won’t go in making a standalone tree.
Flankers irl have only a 4 percent channel loss.
Gl finding how much channel loss a j10 has
All 3 are remaining with Japan.
probably the diverterless inlet provides a lot more channel loss, with low speed air being ingested into the engine
could also be gaijin being gaijin
Cv90120T with aps🥲
What mate? Don’t be so mean… Just thinking if it’s perfect to put them in to close allies or their neighbours, or do you want gaijin to put them in China because that’s what they wanted to do…? Defintely don’t want that to happen…
This is flat out wrong. F-16CM’s are entirely capable of the same role as CJ’s. CM’s are CJ’s upgraded through CCIP. Nothing is lost in the upgrade so it can still fulfil the same role. But even then PoBIT F-16CM’s can also still do this as they add avionics not weapons.
it is not gen 5th, they said about q2 is gen 5th
Then maybe Israel, considering they pretty much built up the SG military and SG uses a lot of Israeli equipment as well.
how about f15sg for Israel as delayed ?
AFAIK that shouldn’t be the case. A DSI has nearly no downsides except that it is much more complicated to design as it has to be exactly adapted to the aircrafts body shape to provide a clean flow. At worst it should take just a few percent of engine power away at very low aircraft speeds. I don’t know how it behaves at high AoAs though.
