also hmd can’t look down
J-11B still has no HUD tint or correct colour afterburner flames as of the current Dev server. If I’m not mistaken I do think they may have changed the afterburners slightly, but its still purplish-pink instead of blue. I have heard that the J-11B’s radar might be getting a buff so that’s nice at least.

They changed the flames inside the nozzles, as a part of the new afterburner effects, so the flames inside the nozzles itself is blue but not after it leaves the engine
Hoping they change it more, the bug report for it was accepted and it would be very cool to see it fully implemented.
The HUD symbology as of current is a copy-paste of what is on the J-8s lol
In real life this is what it is supposed to look like on the J-11B:

My biggest gripe with the J-11B is that ugly soviet blue canopy frame…
Oh yeah, its very annoying
I think I saw on Live skin for cockpit with nice gray colour scheme and purple canopy tint (and all reflective surfaces too, for some reasons), but cant find now
Aren’t the ws-10’s afterburners supposed to be white?
Most images are edited and depending on videos or photos there are both blue and the purple/orange we have in game
That’s irrelevant bc the guy asked if they should be white
Ah yeah they’re not white but you can’t definitely state that they’re blue either.
We don’t actually know for sure what its true colour is since afterburner colours can fluctuate depending on the afterburner stage, lighting ( like night can make it appear much much brighter and whiter) and also the point that @Clap6005-live mentions can cause it to shift in hue from the original image. We can’t say for sure what its proper colour is, all we can do is see that the most common colour displayed from WS-10’s afterburner is a type of blue, not far off from the kind of blue flame displayed by the Su-27SM, which currently has said blue flames in the game.

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.
