How many control surfaces? WTF, 10? Although that said, if we look at the cockpit, that is huge, in terms of size, probably manned, maybe even Su34 style seating with perhaps more than two pilots.

An interesting comment on Chinese website:
If the 6th gen jet have such a big IWB, could I bomb 3 bases in one flight?

Countless people have already started to smear and belittle these 6th generation aircraft, look at those who keep claiming “technology theft” or “it must be a scam”, I am waiting for this day. After all, admitting that China is ahead of the world can be worse than killing them. Hahaha, Merry Christmas guys (mostly Chinese guys) because I think most of the people who hear this news won’t be happy :)

Lmao what did they do, take airforce renderings possible for 6th gen that have been released and went “yup that looks good well make that!”
That looks exactly like the (I think) Lockheed Martin 6th gen render they released so long ago for NGAD.

It’s the internet what do you expect lol
People are just memeing on it, this happens for literally any new major defense project that is released. That being said, yes, there are stereotypes of Chinese industry. And it’s only until recently that China has proven itself capable of producing unique airframes, and people are slow to change their beliefs.
It would be even funnier if it made to perform a very specific thing → americans get high on own supply → overcompensate → trash the original idea because it doesnt live up to their overcompensation and supply of white powder

Hmmm… I’ll just whack this up here.
For all we know it could be made of cardboard. Mind you, I’m fairly sure China isn’t quite as bad as Sukhoi so let’s see if they actually produce it.
I do also note that if you want to have a capability that is sneaky, stealthy and a ‘game-changer’, ‘unmatched’ ‘superweapon’ and whatever other superlatives beloved of the internet experts… you don’t tend to fly it around in public. Especially not relatively low-level, low airspeed and in a cloudless daylight sky over a populated area for everyone to video.
The only scenario in which you want to do it - would be as a PR stunt - in which case well done China. Right, next?

On every single Chinese/Russian stealth aircraft threads online, there’s these types of trolling, and they’re nothing new. We should be avoiding this when it comes to Warthunder, because I really would like to see informative discussions and not pointless memeing.

Makes it interesting that they feel comfortable enough to divert from the traditional way of thinking.

None of what you said makes sense since the development and design of the aircraft would have been longer than the time since renderings of NGAD were released. Not everything is “copied”.

agreed
to be honest i’ve never been in the “they just copy” mindset
it could be true a few decades ago when they built their air force from scratch, but now that they developped a solid base, they can improve from that
J-20 was already quite a departure from what was done elsewhere (for better or worse)
to get back on that new flying wing, i heard tailess jets tend to be unstable at supersonic speeds, so it will be interesting to know if :
- the plane can indeed go supersonic (i would assume it can)
- how they managed to solve that “tiny” problem if it can indeed go supersonic

Oh yes, I look forward to seeing all the discussion on an entirely classified aircraft that we just found exists.
Let’s be real, there’s just theorycrafting to be made.

Can we get actual images? Instead of fighting each other.

Bunch of images and videos on Twitter. And there’s 2 different aircraft with a third rumored to be shown soon. But I don’t really see the point of this thread, very limited information is known with only guesstimates about performance and we are FAR off from this ever being discussed as a real addition to the game.
