this sadly only counts as a secondary source doesnt it?
kinda annoying that we can only really tell apart the engines via their nozzle designs since china releases so little
Yes, but we only need two secondary, sadly I couldn’t find any additional yet. Pictures from an Expo would also be sufficient additionally.
ill ask around but itll be hard since the B3 name is a viewer name…
Actually found another, but I’ve nothing to prove thrust increase so far.
yeah that is gonna be the next obstacle, tbf idk if there was a thrust increase at all
I doubt these will go anywhere but still worth a try;

This has been affecting J-11B since its introduction into the game and has been copy-pasted onto Su-30MKK and J-15T unchanged. And now it’s been copy-pasted onto the J-16 for the third time. Unfixed.
Good job Gaijin.

This particular J-16 has had its engine swapped at some point. This photo, taken at the Changchun Airshow on July 26, 2023, shows the original configuration of this Batch 07 J-16, which was fitted with the WS‑10B.
During an MLU, it was re‑engined with the WS‑10B3.

It’s been a while and I know it got fixed. But back when KH38 was first introduced we argued JH7A should receive a 4 KH29T (should have been TE) loadout and were told it was OP. It was not until this year when we got the acknowledgement of TE.
even better the playerbase was almost begging for KD-88s to be added for years and when they finally were added of course it was after a new entire better SAM system that require fast A2G munitions to be countered were already added making the entire ordeal pointless and mediocre at best
I’ll be surprised if the engine report is accepted. The Devs and Bug Report Managers do not like those sources and have even said they don’t accept them anymore due to ‘inaccuracies’.
TBH, there is no real point in bug reporting for Chinese vehicles, they ignore all evidence so that it fits there intended narrative for the vehicle. A good example is the new Su-35S having a radar their own designer said it doesn’t have… The dev team wanted a top of the line Mig-29/35, thus it gets what the dev team wanted it to have.

someone made another lets see if one goes through
This one only has pictures, it wont be accepted.
You mean like on the J-15T, J-10C and J-16? And numerous other modern aircraft?

not that it even matters for the 11D cause afaik it may have used lighter materials but also had the structure reinforced so we are back to square one aka 11B fm
Regarding the J-16 engine mistake, here’s the issue worth a look:

i think this is a credible and correct report, i really do not hope it gets shut down by the BM for no reason
