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

Yeah good luck lol, even after what happened with VT5, CN community rallying up, with evidence that the tank designer themselves stating it has more armor than what it has ingame, Gaijin has yet to fix it.

Good point, I absolutely am not in a rush to get either of them.

Is it known by any chance whether the J-11BG or J-11D have WS-10B? ​​Or do they still have WS-10A?

J-11BG is based on existing J-11B airframes, maybe after the refurbishment it could possibly have received WS-10B but I’m not sure. I don’t think WS-10A is in production anymore in China or at least in large numbers.

We know that the J-16 is using WS-10B, and since J-11D development was in a similar timeline I think it would be using WS-10B.

Well, I hope then that the next Chinese flanker will be with the WS-10B (it doesn’t matter whether it will be the J-16, J-11D or BG)

(But most of all I want the J-16, of course)

I just want the J-16, it is a true multirole and plus, it can cary more air-to-air missiles than any J-11 except the J-11D.

WS-10B should be slightly lighter than WS-10A (by approx 100ish kg) and have around 14 tons of thrust, 14.5 being the highest reported figure, so J-16 will have a better thrust to weight ratio than J-11B even, weight of J-16 is said to be 17000-18000kg region empty, supposedly it is 17,700kg.

similarly. J-11B is better than nothing, but it looks ridiculous compared to Su-30

If it has that kind of mass, it will be really cool

Did any of the j-11BGs get ws-10d?

Also, does the J-16 get the same amount of countermeasures as the su30 at 98?

Looks like the 96 usually found on most flankers, at least from what i’m seeing from pics we have of the J16’s top. And considering it is based off of the J11BS then yeah it likely shares that in common with it.

What’s wrong with the j11b’s radar? It can’t scan anything in the game. Even the j8f’s radar is better than it

I have a feeling third one gonna be rejected. “Basic logic” wouldn’t cut for them, especially without some docs/studies/official statements to back it up

ill remove that bit lol

Do you think we will get this loadout when J-16 gets added?

16 PL-15 and 6 PL-10

We’ll be lucky to even get 10 pl-15s honestly

It should be fine, we have the 10 “large” hard points

And 2 “small” ones for just PL-10s

10+2 isn’t bad at all
