believe it or not j10 has nothing to do with lavi
It did have somr influence, since the designs were similar
Equipped early 1st gen FLIR & laser designator pod and armament hybrid late 70’s & 80’s
Meanwhile ASRAD-R (and ZA-35, they share scan pattern):
what AESA radar i dont remember any AESA radar already ingame…
Why are there similarities in the design of completely different aerodynamic layouts and combat purposes
Could get one soon, the issue with the French is they pretty much exclusively used Milan via dismounts, iirc they did mount them to some APCs, but with no real way for a person to fire them forwards with out getting mostly out, and hanging off the back. However! with Benelux they can get the Belgian CVRT’s, and iirc the FV103 apc’s did have a Belgian modification to mount a milan on the copula. Should be pretty speedy too. (Of course they can always model the VBL or VAB versions with only a rear facing firing arc. but that would probably be mildly painful to play on most maps)
There’s a suggestion up for it now here
VBL, some Lorh vehicle… multiple vehicle with MILAN could come.
Idk I’m starting to have doubts about the Swiss Hornet.
Well for one why would it come only to Germany, I mean not only would you have to model that variant but also other like the US and perhaps the Canadian one.
Secondly in Gaijin style there needs to be a Russian counterpart, which is unlikely due to the fact there already a pairing going off.
The A-10C and the Su-24M, why would both need the F/A-18 and the Eastern thing in the same update ?
In my eyes the FFA P-16C seems more likely as it would be the selling point for the sub since not only it’s unique, but a user model is being created of it as we speak.
I’m sticking with the Hornet.
The P-16 was only mentioned earlier today and before that gszabi said that the redacted Air Vehicles were correctly guessed. I also don’t think the P-16 fits the pattern.
So I’m sticking with my guess.
I’m 90% sure I saw the FFA P-16C once before today and before Gszabi.
at least not according to the forum search
I have explained this before. Just check my profile and surf through comments.
Im not saying that the PLAAF stole the Lavis design
J-10 primarily designed off existing J-9 data
@tahsky here as part of this convo. It wasn’t originally part of the guesses but it did show up once.
Well when the leaks came out I was 100% Hornet but now I learned about the P.16 I’m more,
Hornet - 45% to the P.16 - 65%.
Yes, it’s just that they have some similarities, and at that time, the close defense exchanges between China and Israel led some to believe that J10 was the Chinese version of Lavi. But after observation, it will be found that his pneumatic layout is completely different, and different pneumatic layouts require too much time to polish
we’ll see.
regardles of what it is I’m excited for what’s to come.
I’m still team Hornet
Mainly because Germany is only nation (currently) without a 13.7 fighter jet
Plus as I said before, Gaijin does have history of introducing vehicles of foreign operators first then adding them to main operating nation in one of future updates
