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

J-20 has canards man, canards and TVC

No way the A is same BR as B, it makes more sense to have them at different BR steps as they’re just too different in performance to have at same BR

All I’m going to say is the J-20 isn’t a complete missile truck, and leave it at that.
Gaijin will likely make up FM anyway.

No production J-20 variant has TVC, and likely will never.

F-35A can go toe to toe with a clean F-16, that’s no joke

It’s on the J-20Bs also the J-20 has the only twin seat stealth fighter variant which make me love it even more

I was thinking like Eurofighter, Rafale, SU-35 that kind of thing would probably beat it, but they’d also never likely get the chance

You mean the J-20A with the hump?
WS-15 doesn’t seem to have TVC petals.

It doesn’t really matter too much, design requirements for the Chinese VLO fighter (J-20) era was controllable up to 50 degrees of AOA. Official pilots statement say comparable subsonic maneuverability to J-10, superior supersonic maneuverability.

F-22s largest disadvantage is going to be the lack of HMD.

TBH the J-10 is an aircraft that could put up a fight with the F-35

Well, let’s not go into it too much.
I want to avoid sparking a flame war lol.

Fair

You see, the Chinese dorito already did a couple of days ago in here, lol.

Didn’t it get tested with Scorpion HMD a little while back? And they’re going to field an HMD for it in service soon or now I think

I do like my Chinese Dorito, it’s currently my favorite aircraft to play in war thunder, and I have the Eurofighter

If that is the case then they might do what they did with the F-16 giveing it a 2005 HMD for a 1992 weapons loadout, it would be a major downside for the F-22 if it didn’t get a HMD

When I meant dorito, I mean literally dorito.
You haven’t seen it yet?

Lol no, I must have missed it

oh wait do you mean the 6th gen thing?

There’s two ways it can go, if US military is worried about it, NGAD will get more funding and be a better jet in the end, if the US isn’t worried about it NGAD is better than any of us could imagine

It’s starting again
