Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Aparently yes, it’s a modified J-15 with a CATOBAR new engines and avionics, but we first saw “J-15B” in 2021 so it’s extremely recent.

So give them one of the billion F16’s out there.

Not the best possible Tomkitten lol.

J-15B (or J-15T) is the latest variant that was only revealed a while ago, so obviously not. More likely J-11B or J-10B

They better not add it as a premium, first the best F-4 in the US tree is a premium we don’t need the best F-14 as a premium also.

There would be actual riots if they add it as a premium

I thought thats the J-15T

Actually, F18A could make a good US premium now i think about it.

The duality of WT players. It is ok for MY MAIN NATION to be inaccurate for the sake of gameplay BUT it is BAD for other nations to be inaccurate for the sake of accuracy.

Its still much hypothetical, J-15 mounted with domestic weaponries. No confirmation but it is likely that more advanced Chinese techs would be intergrated as a part of the 15T programme giving them CATOBAR abilities.

riots of people trying to withdraw money from the bank probably lol

That’s what I was thinking, but since it seems to be a Naval Fighter Update i thought the J-15 would make more sense, you’re most probably right though.

Indeed the T(tanshe) is the CATOBAR version of it, but also likely to serve more upgrades as well.

You mean the 27EA? But that’s a fox 3 and the 33 didn’t have a radar for them? Not to mention wasn’t the EA never used? The 27EM on looking up is for anti cruse missile and anti ship missile targets. Is there modernized versions of the 33? I thought they shifted to the Mig-29K over the 33?

you didnt read the full thing… I have been pretty vocal about SA gripen was a bad choice due to it being completely ahistorical and on the F15 it was aboubt the concern for balance here is the exact quote

It looks like a 9.0 plane at best. 4 R-3S’s, subsonic, and no CMs will make it doa at 9.7.

It would really suck if gaijin doesn’t move it down.

What i read makes me very happy

It’s a R-27ER with a two-stage guidance system, inertial with radio correction with the transition to active radar homing in terminal.

Pretty sure that 3rd one is AIM-120C-5

yey finally someone noticed my question xD

I was thinking that too as it just… IDK.

I assume/hope the loadout isnt finalised.

Yeah test flying it it seems pretty bad, definitely not 9.7 worthy.

Pretty sure the base J-15 already uses chinese weapons and chinese avionics
