as lovely as the J-11BG would be, it should have come earlier tbh, J-11B with 27SM, and BG with what we have now

J15 has limited flares and is stuck using OG AL31
WS-10A on the T iirc, i may be wrong tho
only one prototype plane has WS10 they are likely to all get them later but Without TVC option they will be worse
2 had the WS-10H ye, but i think they did swap out the AL on later series ones
Some tested WS-10H (and as I heard, it may get fielded by now, if not the improved AL-31F variants), WS-10A was J-11B.
yes only 1 jet as of now as far as ive reasearched has the WS10
i’d honestly want it to come with the 10H tbh, the AL-31 is boring me out tbh

Sir please pick a lane.
Its strange to want a answer, then say you don’t trust the answer.

they will get it in next few years probably
prototype no.1518.
even if they get the Ws10H itll only have 48 countermeasures which unless it gets some magic bol pods for balance reasons its DOA
meanwhile SU35 will have CM new russian missiles and TVC
Smin it’s either “I only trust the answers I want to listen to” or “Smin and Oxy are not official Gaijin employees clearly” )))

Would love this just for the cockpit alone.
New cockpit + better engines + CFT’s + EWP.
But I don’t think that’s enough to warrant a whole new aircraft. Instead should be worked in as a modification on the current F/A-18E.

Its a little strange sometimes when people say “Gaijin are not transparent”.
Yet when we are, it cant be true.
Plans can always change for sure. No disputing that. But there is no reason to deliberately mislead people at all.

Poor f18 going against monsters like f15ex and su35 / j16
A bunch of F-4, MiG-21 and MiG-23 variants, a couple of Mirage F1 and Mirage 5 variants (including the Cheetah and Kfir C.1)
The F-111 and the Harrier II also weren’t added until way after the F-14 got added
still would get dogged on by lore accurate F14

I wasn’t asking for an answer tho
to be fair MIG 23 was a demon on release like genuinely unbeatable

A bunch of prototypes and non-service vehicles. What Mig-23 variant was more stronger than the MLD that could have been added and was in-service? All the vehicles I mentioned before which could fill a roster of December update are in-service aircraft rather than one off vehicles that you mention.
Also some would regard Harrier 2 as 4th gen, I’m not arguing that it is the case, just that some would.
