J-10C is alright, not amazing for 14.3 but crazy claim to say that the J-11s are painful especially now that 14.7 is a thing
Finally got the J-10C before the air tech tree rearrangement.
Time to retire my J-7E, the jet that carried me through the entire top tier. It was the only aircraft I had in the Chinese air tree with a talisman and a free Ace crew, and it made the grind so much easier than investing in a talisman on a top-tier jet. I’ve had countless solid matches in it.
After the rearrangement, I’ll have to grind a new top-tier jet without it. :(
It sucks. Got it a few days ago, spent 50 odd games in it, feels crap, still haven’t got PL-12 mod. The thing is like a boat when lacking mods, and it is ridiculously slow, to the extent I will say it is no better than J-10A, just a radar upgrade and 2 missiles to me feels bleak for 14.3.
Did the Mitsubishi Ki-51 really served in the early days of the PLAAF? yeah I know the vehicle would be a copypaste in game but at least it will have differences with the one in the Japanese tree being that it wouldn’t have access to the 250 kg bomb and it will start with the 12.7mm mg unlike Japan which in theory could have optional armament between 7.7mm mg(early) and 12.7mm mg(late) but I haven’t seen an image of the aircraft in chinese service and only this model box art can give you an idea:

I’m interested in the K-8, and I saw a guy on Weibu posting the covers of the technical manuals for this aircraft.
Does anyone have the complete manual or parts?
Is there a reason why the 90mm rocket pod in-game is way bigger compared to the one in real life?:

I’m using the Q-5 as the example but this affects all the aircraft that can use the 90mm rocket pod in the game, is probably been like this for years but a revision of the ordnance modeling might be a good tiny buff for chinese aircraft but I’m unsure does the model affects the weight in game? I’d imagine so but I don’t know enough really and while I’m aware that the rocket pod model seems to differ depending on the aicraft they all seem to be short or stubby compared to the game’s long and pointy

we got B-52H and Tu-95M, that means more strategic bombers soon
get your source materials ready to bug report H-6!! (probably wont do much tbh)
What’s a Tu-16 worth bug reporting? That’s all it’s gonna be.
The H6 isn’t just a Tu-16; it’s a bit like the Su-27 and J-11 series aircraft that look similar but don’t share the same technology. So, when you see the dummy cockpit they put in the J-15T, yes, you should be prepared to file bug reports
The H6 has composite materials and a more powerful D-30KP-2 or WS-18 engine (118 kN) compared to the RD3M or WP-8 (93 kN), at least for the K version and subsequent models

In any case, with what foreigners do to Chinese vehicles, you always have to expect the worst :/

Following a certain logic with the B-52H and the Tu-95M, I don’t think Ginjin will give us a modern version of the H6 like the L/K/N and L, but more the standard H6 and at best the D or H versions
Just saying that’s what Gaijin’s gonna do. “I can’t see any difference!!”
Based on what I’ve seen, some BRs (Battle Ratings) are going to change in April. I’ve noticed a problem with Chinese helicopters. On the positive side, the Z11WA is getting the HJ-8C tandem ATGM, and SA.342L has already received the HJ-8E tandem ATGM with a 4 km range and will soon receive HOT ATGMs. The negative point is that the first two Chinese helicopters will be upgraded to BR 9.0, making China the only nation to have its first helicopters with such a high BR, while other nations have their first helicopters with BRs of 7.7 or 8.0.
I don’t mind if the Z11WA and SA.342L get new weapons, I even use them in 9.3 without any problems against anti-aircraft guns. we could have for the hole generated after the change of Br

Tbh, I rather not have a starter heli with just rockets
It’s a matter of personal taste; I don’t want to have the first helicopters with the same level of DCA missiles. Then there are helicopters you grind for if you want to play the Z11WA or SA.342L, you don’t have any Chinese helicopters yet?
Personally I would like something around 7.7 or 8.0.

It makes me laugh to see that even the Mi 17V7 has the 70mm, 19 rocket pods, while the Z10s don’t even have them in the game…
The problem is that it fires AKD-9 and TY-90 bullets, so it will never be in the BR of 7.7 to 8.7
Does any of you guys has a better picture of this camouflage for the Q-5(early I assume)?


I only had that first image but is barely visible, recently I was scrolling through old magazines on eBay and I found that second picture which does show a clearer picture but not enough to see the wing pattern at least a drawing or scale model would be appreciated!
