Sadly F-18F was denied for US this update

Ah, my bait failed.
The new ones. J-20A/S.
Spoiler
In short, cockpit was extended backwards likely to optimise supersonic drag, new DSI intakes, new flexible cover, some had new engines. U could prob work out why they are called ‘black’. Also J-20S didn’t receive all the said changes but some are black.
I haven’t seen any new J-20 (normal ones) for a while, reasonable to say J-20 production has finished.

honestly I wish double seat variants would just be the event vehcles along side obviously neat or rare vehicles as well. cause I want two seaters but I also don’t need more things to grind through

Hope they add gun in the future variants
I’m sure it’ll be posted in the Dev forum as a Poll to get it added.
Nah not gonna. Don’t think they even left space for it, and they didn’t really want it to take place in dog fights, looking at the lack of commitment to TVC and the design overall.
That is a good idea but maybe gaijin has some plans in future that would make twin seater useful

most will disagree but god are canards ugly on a jet that angular in shape like the eft, gripen and rafale all have nice smooth curves the make it work but the j20 looks like my first drawing of a future jet and I only got given a protractor and pencil

They would be foldered if brought to its main country
Just like the F-18D
if they gave second pilot voicelines or they increased map awareness I would take the downgrade especially with all the wtlive sound mods that would be made.

I already don’t really like how the Flankers look, but the Su-30/33s canards somehow make it even worse
I think your expecting to much of gaijin competency
I did notice a difference in color among the J-20 pictures I could find but I thought they might just be rendering inconsistencies so I wanted to be sure. Good to know then.
Jets with no guns are always sad tbh

Keep expectations low, you’ll never be disappointed lol
The only bad one imo is the naval dual seater (su-33 prototype for training)

I simply hate soviet designs in general other than the su57 it feels like they wanted a delta canard or delta and just gave up at the back.
Same goes for about the f18.
The better f104 with longer pencile nose
I’d say canards on an angular jet could look good, but imo the J-20 itself doesn’t have a very pretty shape… It’s flat as hell, and very long compared to its width. The overall design doesn’t have the cool layout of most delta-canards (Gripen and Rafale being the prettiest ones imo).
Overall I think canards look better when closer to the wings, like on the Rafale and Gripen, than when farther like on the J-20 (and EFT, though I know people will beat me up for saying that)
