@Shay J-11D btw
That doesn’t answer my question.
Up here.
i think of pikachu when i see this.
The yellow zinc-chromate is super memable
“Effectively”, as in they would perform the same, not that they would be the same. I asked how they would differ in performance, not in general.
I’m pretty sure a J-16 would have a lot more tools thanks to further developments in terms of EW pods and Air to ground munitions, the J-11D should be mainly air focused.
I would expect a seperate tree of not-serving-in-mainland.
It seems that gaijin is now building the tree this way on ground forces. WZ1001 LCT and VT4A1 is on the tree that once was used for Taiwan vehicles, so the air tech tree may also show the same method, with JF-17 following F-16, maybe Taiwan Mirage also.

You really want to stop that line at 13.3 permanently? lol
Just cause it’s one of four lines with other Chinese vehicles doesn’t mean anything.
“Taiwan” aircraft are scattered across all 4 lines.

Okay, thank you. I still don’t expect the J-11D to come, however, as there would be plenty of other things that would be better or just as good for both air and ground, but it could come as an event vehicle or such.
The Viper that’s supposed to come wouldn’t just be 13.3 would it? AFAIK it is a Block 70.

J-11D focus on air to air fight, exreme thust/weight, and air specialized radar. J-16 is multy functional jet. so J-11d is better in air to air fight
There’s the F-CK-1, Mirage 2000E, and F-16V. It would not stop at 13.3.

Yeah i agree, i see it as an event vehicle.
Yeah, with an AESA radar, AIM-9X, and (I believe) AIM-120C-8. It would be much higher than 13.3.
J11D’s APAR is tilted, it might reduce the RCS of the radar, but I have no evidence.
Block 70 will only be better than a J-10, but not the others.
All I know is I hope it’s not after J-11A cause that’d be an insult having to research that waste of digital aluminum.
@Shay
FCK1 is a ~13.3 aircraft at most, and one of the aircraft I want in War Thunder more than anything else.
Feels like an understatement imo. Also depends on which J-10 you’re talking about.
There are multiple versions of the F-CK-1, and with it having Sky Sword 1s, AIM-120s, and Sky Sword IIs, it would be at least 13.7.
Also, the F-16V bl 70 is the latest and greatest F-16. It would eclipse everything we have in performance by a massive landslide.
Also completely forgot to mention the plethora of J-11BH/BS/BHS etc… and ofc the J-11BG.
