Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

There is a J-11 that was tested with TVC engines, and I would prefer Chinese domestic alternatives to Russian aircraft, but if not, I could see the SU-35 being added

But Israel Air Force and Isreal Defence Forces never mounted AIM-120 for F-16C/D Block 30 & Block 40 Barak

F-16I Sufa (IAF & IDF) only equipped AIM-120 AMRAAM in real life

The Israel Air Force and Isreal Defence Forces never ordered Derby for F-16C/D Block 30 & Block 40 Barak but show only

F-5E Tiger III (FACh), F-5EM Tiger II (FAB), F-16AM Block 15 MLU (FACh), F-16C/D Block 50M (FACh) and Kfir C.10 (pre-Block 60) (FAC) equipped Derby

F-16A Block 10 limited WVR Air-to-Air Missile AIM-9J & AIM-9L

But F-16A Block 15 ADF lack AIM-120B

Yeah, the domestic vehicles they do have are in much more limited production too. Like I said, it’s China from 25 years ago, just breaking into true domestic designs but still largely in the domestically built, licensed production vehicles at the moment

No, the Chinese Flanker does not have TVC, their current engines are only suitable for BVR, and China only has the J-10B with TVC

Yeah, I did say it was only tested.

The J-20s are being upgraded with TVC though if I recall correctly though I don’t think any have been confirmed yet

Edit: Never mind I read wrong it was the J-10B not J-11B

Hello.
One question.
Will Japan get Ki-43 III ko, which is in chinese tech tree, but not also in Japanese?

I think the Su-35 can go to the Taiwan line, because they are all imported.

Iirc there’s been F-18s in decals before but tbh might be Mandela effecting it up, I’ve tried looking for it but haven’t had any luck.

SU-35 would probably go after the SU-30MKK right? maybe in the 3rd column under the JH-7A

I thought the J-20 already had TVC but guess not

Su-30MKK or MK2 most likely

Hello Smin, can you clarify?
IFV in left bottom looks like Badger ifv or AV8 Gempita
From side in this drawing style they will look same.

So, what this vehicle is?

Badger

i-14

AV8 Gempita

i-21
i-18

Not for the main production, but in testing it has been seen, I believe they’re also making a 2-seat version of the J-20 which I personally think is very cool

But it would be. The initial plans were to both. It clearly says that.

You then didn’t do both. You only moved them up in BR despite saying initially, you’d do both.

Coming out some time after and saying “well, we might do the thing we said we were going to initially do if there’s data AND enough feedback to do what we initially said we were going to do.”

Gaijin changed their mind. Cool. You’re right. Plans do change.

But in this case it is absolutely moving the goalpost. I’m glad your being transparent about it now but to say its not is insulting. But I understand its just not happening. So I won’t push it any further.

The Chinese MKK/MK2 is not interesting, in my opinion it is a Su-27 with CAS capability, after all the radar is still shit

Aye, not directly after, but JH-7A - SU-30MKK - (SU-30MK2) - (SU-30MK3) - SU-35 would make sense to me with () being a potential folder

The AV-8 turret its quite far towards the rear, the turret in the decal is fairly central, so it’s probably the Badger.

The more interesting question is how are they going to model the gun, as far as I can tell the gun fires in bursts.

I would like to remind the developer that in addition to aviation you can add tanks of rank 8.

The CAS line should not have the Su-35

Yeah, it would be good in the attacker line, so China can get some better CAS but not in the J-11 line, it would just be in the way there
