so after some time that the j15T was presented in the trailer and the dev server, i wanna ask you a question.
which one would be better for this update for china top tier.
J15T - aesa / 10 advance fox3 but only 48cms
j15 - al31 / 8 normal pl12 / lower br
other j11 varinat with aesa radar.
other options / explain

now i am not saying that the current addition is bad, its just that giving china the flanker who is not the best on the meta right now is kinda a bad move.
i just think that j15t is not helping so much for china top tier. looking at rafale and su30sm2, you know that its kinda bad.
i didnt include j-16 or the su35. and su30mk2 is not top tier material.
no it has 48CMs IRL but the thing is the plane unlike Other FLANKERS dont rely on CMs to dodge misslies they use EW electronic warfare which isnt in game so this would just be a balance thing
Currently, the WS10B in the dev is performing weakly, which will directly impact all Chinese 4 gen fighters, making it difficult for them to play an effective role in top br—whether it’s the lighter J15T with only 48 cms, or the heavier J16 equipped with more cms
I would do what was done with the F-18 lates and double the CM count. Sure it’s ahistorical, but it can be set back to 48 once ECM gets added. As it stands currently, however, this thing will be extremely difficult/near impossible to use against the MICA.
for some reason mods thought this was a abusive statement no clue why tho

well its either give it more countermeasures or make it 14.0 its not first time gaijin has artificially buffed stuff anyway for balance reasons this isnt new look at the mig 23 orginally its RWR couldnt pick up PD radars then sim players complained and they changed it
Honestly whatever is needed to make the J15 usable in top tier is fine. I’m pretty sure flare pods exist in the Chinese Military, just use the “muh compatibility” standard and call it good.
The lack of CMs while having MAW is going to be a major pain in the backside.
however, its still a SU-33. the SU30 family does incredibly well and gaijin is very favourable to chinese missiles compared to whatever the hell they are doing to ruin the 120D like they ruined 120C5.
Its going to be hard locked to BVR and anyone that doesnt know how to properly notch will be filtered fast.
even with just basic PL12 the main issue of missing ECM pods will be prevalent, not fixing the concern at all
imma blow your mind the J15 is a SU33 and both have same amount of countermeasures
J15 was reverse engineered off a old SU33 proto called the,
T-10K-3
Spoiler
In 2001, the T-10K-3, an unfinished prototype of the Su-33,[7] was acquired by SAC from Ukraine[8] and is claimed to have been studied extensively and reverse-engineered, with development on the J-15 beginning immediately afterward.[9][10]
China had sought to purchase Su-33s from Russia on several occasions—an unsuccessful offer was made as late as March 2009[11]—but negotiations collapsed in 2006 after it was discovered that China had developed a modified version[12][13][14] of the Sukhoi Su-27SK, designated the Shenyang J-11B,[15][16] in violation of intellectual property agreements.
it cant bvr , in BVR you need chaff to notch youll run out fast you would be better off low multipathing
it be better if they just gave it extra flares of the J11B 96 as the J15 relys entirely on EW for defense so this would just be compenstation for that until they add EW into the game
