The J-11B is looking to be a very capable fighter, might actually end up being very good unlike the miserable J-11A. I’m looking forward to the C-704 and how it performs in-game, hopefully the JH-7A could get some love as well.
J-11B, C-704 and VT-5? China is eating well this update, I’m pleased
The current A2G loadout of the J-11B is definitely incomplete, by this assumption it’s good to assume that the C-704 is coming to the J-11B - whilst not guaranteed, I doubt Gaijin would give the SU-30SM the Kh-38 without giving China an equivalent.
J-11B should not even be having those bombs nor that targeting pod. But since they already went ahead with that stupid decision, I can’t see why they wouldn’t add them to J-11B as well.
C/M-704 should come for J-10A, JF-17 and JH-7A though.
J-11B should not even be having those bombs nor that targeting pod
Yeah I’m very aware of this and concerned, they might just end up taking away the A2G capabilities of the J-11B but if that’s the case, then SU-30SM should also lose its Kh-38s - I’d prefer a JH-7A with PL-12s, PL-8Bs and C-704/Kh-58s personally.
Gaijin should introduce a separate JH-7A Late with all of these
I hope so, considering the N001 is scraping the barrel in terms of quality. Not one other top-tier plane has the radar of a vehicle found in 12.7. The radar itself isn’t even the main issue, it’s the one datalink that upsets me. Logically speaking, why would a vehicle made 20 years ago with the capabilities of carrying multiple ARH missiles only be able to shoot one at a time?
IIRC J-10A is having same radar (model wise, bigger dome), so it should be good
Wasnt thrust difference from AL-31 is, pretty much, negligible (at least with correction on J-11B being heavier than Su-27S), so it should be at least no worse than J-11A flight performance wise or slightly better.
Imo main straight of J-11B gonna be it decent radar and decent (like strong middle) ARH missiles. We aint gonna overshoot western jets any time soon (need more missiles anyway), but at least it wouldn’t be so painfully one-sided.
Also! Important moment - finally use-able RWR! After SPO-15 on J-11A it going to be soo good (plus buffed MAWS should actually be useful)
IIRC the fun part being that is not “by design”. The story, as it being said, goes that radar of J-11A was the works of Belarusian specialists and they, basically, tricked it to lock, fire and lead Fox-3 missiles as if it was your regular SARH
What? The J-11B is 600-800 kilograms lighter than the Su-27sk.Even BVVD said it on the stream, how can you not know that? And his radar is not like the J-10A, but like the J-8F, with increased power and more modern. Don’t mislead people. And ws-10a has a slightly better thrust than engine the SU27SM. It will be the best flanker in terms of pure flight characteristics. The only thing is, 6 pl-12 missiles are few , and the radar is still mechanical.
They just poked into its software, and made it so that when the R-77 was launched, the radar thought it was the R-27. Because of this, there is only one radio channel.
