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

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?

No. F is the twin seater. It’s heavier

The Al-31 that it has currently is one of the most powerful variants the ws-10 will be better off afterburner and should be more efficient in that regard but yea it is still depressing how its performance is shown as the 10B should have more AB thrust. Side note the j-15 makes more thrust than the 11B and 27sm untill higher speeds then it caps at the same as the 11b’s max so I’m still hopeful for it as it’s TW is on par at least and with the bigger wings and flaps it could be a fun plane

god please open the dev server

Any idea when the dev is out?

nope

I don’t think we get dev today :(

what’s your time there?

Man, we’re not even close to the usual dev-server times which is normally in 4.5 hours.

1500kgf more at 9000 meters near top speed.

Better subsonic performance near sea level. It could be better depending on source material.
Also, the WS-10B is notably better than the WS-10A: And this is before any buffs the J-10C can get from lower channel losses.

Also not sure why people are complaining to me, I’m not sharing any opinions on this matter.
I’m still annoyed J-10C is missing internal fuel.

Ohk
