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

Because no one plays it in SIM due to low Cm count and previously mediocre teams, i believe tbe mirage is favoured instead

Because not a lot of people play Chinese fighters.
Other than the J-10A all you get is the J-11A, which is horrible.
You usually see the Mirage more.

It didn’t help that the hud was bugged up until recently as well.

One player in a couple hundred thousand players doing well doesn’t just equate to the J-10A being better. I feel like we could be seeing it dominant leaderboards if that was the case.

Then why would the US DoD be desperately developing a counter to the PL-15 if it wasn’t a signifigant threat in the pacific/SCS theater?

We are talking about dogfighting performance, not overall capability mate

Solo is quite different with normal PVP, in normal game mode, speed do matter more, that why one is 13.7 and one is 14.0.
but yeah, J-10A is a good plane

The typhoon bullies the J-10 in BVR due to low Cm count and AMRAAM>PL-12 combined with the EFT being the most dominant BVR jet in game currently, really not alot of competition there

Foxbat 2.0? One nation claims they have something better, showcases a bunch of cherrypicked tests that look impressive, US defense industry gets a blank check and goes hard, and it turns out its a steel brick that isn’t really a threat?

J-10A currently has a ton of supersonic drag, past mach it is slower to accelerate than many similar fighters.

yeah, I did some work about this in dev server, but ended failed.
since this requires full FM curve which is surely classfied

J-10 is my favourite aircraft to play, even after unlocking the Eurofighter, it’s not so great at longer ranges but within 15km it’s very good, it can duel very well within 50km too but the CM count lets it down a little against larger teams

Just ask Algeria what they think about VT-4, they previously bought Russian T-90s and they evaluated the VT-4 and said that it outperformed their T-90s in trials.

I wouldn’t count on CN equipment being useless in 2025.

Guys this convo doesn’t lead anywhere but political and racial talk. I would switch topic and go back to rumours if I were you.

Not considering that’s beginning to go off-topic.

That’s fair.

in next update, if J-10B is coming, for it’s DSI intake, it should have less drag and weight, also bigger drag in high speed(near 2 mach). also the radar will be improved.
engine is a problem, it seems early J-10B still uses AL-31F, while some later ones with WS-10. we don’t know which one gaijin will choose.
if with all these, it should be able to be a good EF2000 equal, except 72 CMs.

As long as it gets the intake, ESA radar and new missiles I will be happy since we had to wait longer for it
