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

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

Not with its weak engines.
Only place it beats the J11B is in CAS



…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.

Just to ask, has anyone been able to just make a report of J11B radar in dev? says 120km in statcard but is just 90 for now.

J-11B radar range [DEV] // Gaijin.net // Issues

The radar can only lock in the green area, in the black area it can still detect them, just cannot lock.

Issue is I don’t get to see anything beyond 100km in this case. So still a 100km radar.

In which mode though?

Any I am pretty sure. PD or TWS at least. I didn’t check PD HDN or any of the other ones.

Typically you can only achieve maximum range in LPRF or HPRF modes, PD and regular TWS are MPRF which while very good in all aspect isn’t as long range as the other options.

so you should use SRC, PD HDN or PDV for achieving maximum range.

nope, it has all of 90km range, ACM is still that stupid N001 shape, in other words they have fixed literally nothing and it’s still broken

Still doesn’t change the fact that it’s statistically the best preforming flanked atm

It is, but wrong is wrong and it annoys me that they still knowingly gimp it
