Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

The Block 07 and 08 received the WS-10B engine with late-model nozzles same as the J-16. It remains unclear if the J-11BG upgraded from Blocks 02-06 underwent similar engine upgrades.

Spoiler

J-11BG with old nozzles ( It’s impossible to confirm whether this is the WS-10A or WS-10B, as both engines have historically been paired with the older nozzle design. However, the new nozzles have only been previously observed on the WS-10B powering the J-16.)

Spoiler

For comparison, two distinct nozzle types of J-16.

I think J-11b’s empty weight is heavier in-game than it is supposed to be. But the J-11b is very strong if you play it to its strengths. I had a 77% win rate when I was grinding mods. I have a 62% win rate rn.

J-16 and Su-35sk

no su35 on there

PLAAF SU-35Ss have a solid grey radome, a russian style blue camo with a grey belly, and… well, the Su-35S particularities (dark grey surfaces on the stabs, slightly different jamming pole at the back, etc)


I love the Temu Flanker, it’s literally the fastest Flanker in the game, the weight reduction and the thrust really makes this aircraft pretty standout, tbh is there any upcoming J-11 fixes that will be soon implemented in the next patch?

Hopefully radar fix + further weight reduction + PL12/PL8B buff although we don’t have much hope for that.

The radar is somehow worse in track range and scan modes compared to Type 1492, the predecessor radar on the J-8F. This is pretty ridiculous.

As for weight we’ll have to prove that the WS-10A is lighter than it is, the current empty weight of the J-11B is the airframe weight reduction of 700kg +400kg of weight from the engines.

I like it but the more versatile missile combinations on the original Flankers are superior I think.

It just copied N001 search modes right? with AN/APG70 stats minus the range of 60km.

Yeah pretty much, most notably the ACM mode is a copy of the N001 one.

The block 70 is so far the most advanced F-16 and since the USAF doesn’t operate these the most advanced F-16 USA can get is the block 60 (if UAE is counted as a subtree which would make a lot of sense). If China gets the most advanced F-16 and USA doesn’t, US mains are gonna burn the whole world down

Lol.

It’s not scary. The United States can get some kind of Greek or Jordanian version, block 70/72.

Can just get another F-16V. Also, USAF upgrade F-16C BLK 50 past block 70 standard (better ECM than F-16V)

Now I want to see it added in purely for the reactions
