j-16 would be fantastic as the last top teir for china air before 5th gens tbh
The Su-35S’ export name is Su-35. The correct designation for it in China is Su-35

Not sure if it’s been mentioned already but in a stream on Friday Oxy answered a question about the F-22 coming and said to not expect it this year.
“Will the F-22 be added after the F-15 or F-18? That is like over a year - well over a year away I think at the very very least do not expect that this year. That’s a new front.”

Unsure what to think about it. On one hand this is direct from someone at Gaijin but on the other hand the guesses which has been very reliable mentioned it coming for this year along with it matching the usual timeline of Gaijin rushing to get to the very modern additions they have been doing.

@KhorneFlakez1337 told 2 months ago 5th gen wont be added in the dec update nor 2026. I was right all along
Russian designations never fail to confuse me
So the Q&A mentions 5th generation aircraft and not to mention to leak saying it’s also this year. Idk
When did I say 5th gen wouldn’t be added in 2026?
i’d still take it with a grain of salt, coz you never know
Oxy works at Gaijin?
That was last year
Also, I’m confused, what is this about?
I thought Oxy did no? Seeing that they are in every dev stream and usually streams from the official War Thunder accounts.
Literally the newest version of the J-15T and D use AL-31’s. WS-10H has been tested on like 1 airframe
And the OG J-15 has never used a WS-10 AFAIK
Physically the Su-27M (Su-35) doesn’t have much to do with the modern Su-35 series… there is often some confusion for that reason. Basically the Su-27M never went past the prototype phase so the Su-35 name was recycled. When it comes to modern versions the Su-35S is the Russian variant, and the Su-35 is the export variant’s name.

I thought he was just a host for their streams, I don’t think he works at Gaijin or that he has enough contact to the devs to know about this sort of stuff

5th being added in december 2025 or in the year 2026.
I never claimed that fifth gen would be added in 2025
Wether they are going to be added in 2026 remains to be seen
