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

Is the PL-12A a lighter buff than expected? The Rmax definitely increased, but the NEZ hasn’t really changed much.

Have anyone tested if the new guidance logic retains energy better at range? Perhaps it would be a buff and not a nerf then

With how the meta is right now no buff to energy retention will ever make up for loss of off the rail pull. It’s a big nerf and anything else is cope unfortunately.

“Why not take into account the 29DCT jamming pod designed and manufactured by AVIC Hongdu (the state-owned enterprise specifically in charge of China’s trainer aircraft business), which was found by users on the Chinese sub-forum? This pod is explicitly equipped with 90 countermeasure dispensers and is confirmed to be compatible with the J-15T .”

where are you hearing specific impulse improvements for solid rocket motors, because there weren’t any for close to 50 years by now

oh well, guess I’m not touching china top tier air anymore

Found some cool stuff on the J-15. It also says max speed is mach 2.17, is this true?

I see. I haven’t the faintest idea what to and what not to trust when it comes to CN stuff.

Still has some pretty cool gifs.

Maybe you’re right in reality, but in WT, Gaijin has assigned a relatively low specific impulse of 234.7 seconds to the PL-12 and R-77, while giving 239.8 seconds to the AMRAAM and raising it to 244.9 seconds for the R-77-1.

literally the same crap they did to aim120a, slightly buffed perfomance at range, and obliterate the maneuverability, no sources ofc.

Edit: its worse

Is J-15B or J-15T more accurate? I’ve been trying to read up on it a bit and I’ve seen it referred to as both.

T. B is just speculation before the official announcement.

tysm.

ignoring the changes that matter, whilst making it perform worse;-;

been marked as accepted

aaand, im gonna cry: Community Bug Reporting System & Community Bug Reporting System

what do you expect?

if you want to get it fixed look at what got the amraam pull fixed

oh yeah, it still doesnt pull over a year later

Actually, I’d rather see the J-11BG than this J-15T that inexplicably uses the J-10’s radar.

They would also give J11BG the same radar. No other designation is officially known
