The image shown above is edited actually, not in a serious way but the colour has been altered. It’s less blue but rather purple-ish colour.

It pretty much looks like that on the dev server now
So I would say it has the correct afterburner colour
It still depends on the lighting so it looks weird on some maps but pretty much close enough.
Yeah, I don’t think they get any closer without complely changing how afterburners work
Like @DefinitelySatan said, afterburners aren’t really static irl
Id say they’re pretty accurate atm in game but as mentioned many things can alter the hue and how it looks
Also I really want the J-11BS in game i love the way it looks
At this point an “early” J-16 can be added to the game already, give it unnerfed PL-12 and PL-8B and it can compete very well.
the radar “buff” wasn’t really true, i suspect its misinterpreted from the datamine part that said Type 1493 ACM and HMD lock range 10 → 74km, this number does not do anything, take a look at Kfir C10 in the files, it has 200km lock range yet its not there in the game.
I think it is some hidden stuff that isn’t really there but for use of the server for example. The range increase to 90km although statcard supposed to say 120km, and the better ACM is enough for now at least.
I’ve been advocating for the J-16 ever since the Rafale was added. It’s by no means “to modern” anymore as most would say.
Only issue i see with it is there’s little to no information about it’s radar and even the cockpit is mostly still unknown with bits and pieces available
So a J-11BS with WS-10B engine’s would be an easy place to start i guess
It’s not the first time Gaijin has made up stuff, they’ll find a way to do it. But unfortunately this would also mean it would be harder to stop their potential injustices if Gaijin screws up the radar or subsystems hard to an unrealistically low standard.

I was thinking of this
It’s mainly due to the difference in aviation fuel used by the Russians/Chinese that lead to the afterburner color iirc.
no point, they haven’t even fixed the J-11B, I would rather never ever see the J-16 in the game than to see it useless and pathetic.

The J-11B is already the best Flanker in game right now and AFAIK the radar is being fixed in the upcoming update
Su-30SM is leagues better than it lol
…And also the fact that it can carry more the twice the amount of Fox 3 missiles that perform better than the PL-12 in long range and also short range.
Id still take the J-11 any day of the week just for the better engines and flight performance.
And yeah while the R-77-1 is wayy better up close it still looses speed like a mf when maneuvering.
The absurd missile load is the only save and grace of the SU-30
The PL-12 atm is pretty much a jack of all trades but a master of none

B-b-but the su30 has 14 missiles and tvc so it clearly has to be the best jet ingame /s

I also like a few R27ETs and 73s. Radar as well, PESA is sooooo nice, at least compared to 60km placeholder.
