Major Update "Ninth Wave" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

What did they nerf about all the ESA radars?

I ran the statshark for the j-15 vs 27-sm and j-11b and it makes more thrust for the most part untill you get to higher speeds then the j-15 and 11b cap around the same max while the 27 keeps climbing

worst case it will open tomorrow …

slower updates, essentially making them a ton worse

Visually at least, it’s a lot better now than it was on the dev stream

Thats nice, it was obvious they did their best to get it ready for the stream though and I have to hats off them for that and show appreciation.

It deffo is a nice looking model, though I am still way more hyped for the GBT 155 xD

People demanded this.
Also… That’s not a nerf?

The older engine gets better near sea level after 1287kph.

It’s so ugly that it kind of looks good/cool.

both are going into a bonk canon lineup with the barn, 109, g6, conway and avre,

Yup, I have an AVRE bonk lineup already, its just going to be changed to remove the 4005 and a Ratel.

AVRE, G6, M109, GBT 155, AS 90 and ofc, my beloved strikemaster. the perfect anti air lineup.

People demanded it because they believed it would make the J-10C better.
The new J-10C turns worse, accelerates worse lol
Only in Gaijin world does the newer, better engine irl perform worse than the old one ingame.

we are looking forward to the new and powerful WS-10B engine, but it turns worse

the WS-10B is meant to be way better than a AL-31FNS3, somehow gaijin decided to only increase stationary thrust and then go back to abysmal bs for after mach

Good :-)

  1. That’s not what we demanded, we demanded a new engine, not a copy paste WS10A.

  2. J-10 plays near sea level almost always, and it won’t get to that speed and height in any map. unless u do a side climb of course. So in real scenarios, it is worse.

  3. Oh yeah they added weight as well.

People demanded it not knowing that VSN would tune the static thrust to be high so it appears good on the statcard then immediately make the thrust dip below the original engine at every other speed

18F should be lighter than 18E, right?
