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

I mean with gaijin and how they added the rafale/typhoon (skipped straight to modern variants) i am beginning to think we’ll see a J-10C since it’s so much better researched than J-10B and allows for future possibilities in terms of armament too

Not exactly, Su-27SM uses F-M1 which is the engines on the Su-34 as well.

AL-31FN was a variant specifically tailored for the J-10, the difference is in the position of the oil cooler, but also slightly more thrust compared to the original AL-31F (124KN vs 122KN)

FN Series 3 was an upgrade in both service life and performance of the AL-31FN for future J-10 variants.

I always, literally always turn it off, the useful part though is the missile warning, has saved me a fair few times and that is what I like about MAWs, massively boosts situational awareness (will be much more useful if gaijin stopped making it pick up flares)

maybe, considering J-10B is not that different with J-10C. but we will need one J-10 for future with it’s full capability(PL-15/10), so better not

Just curious if it would recieve the nice blue AB or keep the orange one

Yeah… Need SAL Only Brimstone 2s on everything (or even Brimstone 3s for the 0 drift IOG) or we need mmW.

BAC T.55 Jet Provost? :p

Possibly. Or maybe the Hawk

WS-10 series has a really cool looking AB

how, does it has gps?

No, but the Brimstone 3 upgraded replaced the IOG on it , which in game should translate to a 0 IOG drift. Which would give it psuedo GPS guidance. with no mmW still. This would be a reasonable compromise and make them into something like the GBU-39s

B3A enhancements include a new microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based tactical inertial measurement unit (IMU) developed by Atlantic Inertial Systems (AIS) and a new enhanced autopilot for improved precision at extended ranges. B3B, awarded in 2020, incorporates a range of improvements, including a 20% increase in range. An improved battery also provides an additional 30% engagement duration. - Source

I think 0 drift is too far, no IOG can do that, but it’s resonable to reduce some

Any bomb IOG can. KH-38s and AASM will track a target through smoke using IOG and hit perfectly.

Why is the Brimstone being able to hit a stationary target OP, especially as it should have mmW that isnt modeled at all and the tiny warhead would mean little splash damage kill potential

No IOG drift would be nice, at least then it would have limited use in air battles, though as always air RB needs a significant rework to make CAS a useful part of it

Yeah, main reason why I want them. at the moment, 0 value to ever taking Brimstone 1s on the Typhoon in Sim. Brimstone 2s might be of more use, but the lack of FnF really limits what you can do with them. Making them Psuedo-GPS guided would help a lot

not really, AASM has GPS, and KH-38 is just fast and has many explosive, so it will hit before drift too far. if smoke earlier, KH38 will also not hit I believe

I’ve popped smoke and started moving as fast as I could the moment I saw a KH-38 fired. Still killed me.

that’s because you are still in missile’s fov, you get out the smoke and the seeker catched you again

Have y’all seen the new battle pass vehicle

That would be LOAL which it shouldn’t have as far as game implementation, it’s one of the specific reasons given as to why the Brimstone is laser guided only
